The Crack of the Bat

Spring training is now in full swing. My favorite time of year for t.v. I can finally watch baseball after 6 months of crap on television. I'm not a fan of reality t.v. Then there are programs that you become interested in. There are some that I follow each week. I like a program that has a story which starts and ends in one show. You get caught up with the shows that have a continuous story and then have to watch every week or you miss something in the story line and don't know what is happening. Sometimes the show you are following each week is cancelled. Love when that happens. ABC is the worst. They cancel more shows than the other networks. Or you watch a program for several years, just to have it end in the dumbest way possible. The Sopranos comes to mind.
Susan likes the reality shows. They drive me nuts. I won't name them all, but whats with the guy on The Bachelor. Is he the biggest moron on the planet. I don't know the whole story, but it seems he was one of the bachelors last season on The Bachelorette. He doesn't get picked then comes back this season as the bachelor. After several weeks he finally picks the girl he wants to marry, just to change his mind and then pick the last girl he just sent home. To every ones astonishment she takes him back. I think they're all idiots. Who wants to marry anyone that some t.v. producer picked to be on the show. Anyway I don't want to ramble on about this subject, it's just doesn't interest me.
There was a show called Jericho which I didn't start watching until the second season. It was a continuous show that seemed interesting, only the second season was the last season. It was cancelled so now I rented the first season just to see what happened. I know that sounds dumb because there won't be any ending, but if you watched the show you need to know what happened in the first season. I can't believe I'm doing it, but I am. Talk shows is another type of programming I not fond of. It's not so much the content, because there is a lot of good subjects, I just can't listen to all the screaming people in the audience. They must give them some kind of drug to make them scream that loud, or pass some kind of screaming audition to be in the audience. Grown women and men screaming just because Oprah or Ellen are on the stage. I wouldn't scream half that loud if I won lotto. The morning news programs where you can see people outside the studio. Do they have to wave for hours on end? Then again, you have the same dopes at baseball games who know they're on t.v. waving for the whole game. Maybe I'll just listen to the games on radio this year.
There are some shows I am committed to, like Lost. It gets stranger each week, but is scheduled to end next season. If by the end of the show they don't answer all the questions I have about the show, I might just have to go to the producers and let them hear the crack of the bat.
