It's been a couple weeks since I've done a Friday Five. But I just couldn't resist this subject.
1. How many TVs do you have in your home? I just have one TV, but I do have two VCR's. It used to be three, but one of them died recently.
2. On average, how much TV do you watch in a week? A LOT! I'm a little bit of a TV nut.
3. Do you feel that television is bad for young children? Well, Barney is bad for anyone... I think it can be. But not always. It really depends on what is being watched I think. Anything with violence can't be good, especially for real little ones. And I don't like the TV baby-sitting concept either. Kids need to interact with real live people, not just stare at a TV all day.
4. What TV shows do you absolutely HAVE to watch, and if you miss them, you're heartbroken? I tape just about everything. I work in the evenings which is prime time after all. So I end up taping everything and watching it later. A couple weeks ago I goofed and didn't manage to tape the season premiere of Alias. I was really mad. During the season finale last year, my friend Klink and I watched it together and we were yelling and squealing through the whole thing. That's probably the closest I get right now.
5. If you had the power to create your own television network, what would your line-up look like? Oooohhhh the posibilities! I'd bring back Sports Night. I'd pick up Farscape and force Sci-Fi to sell me the back episodes of it too. Star Trek would be a must. Alias & CSI would be there, ER, West Wing, and Friends. There'd be a lot of sci-fi. A few choice comedies. A couple medical dramas, and some crime/lawyer ones. A couple things there wouldn't be... infomercials, game shows & soaps. I'd want a couple quality news shows. Probably World News Tonight & Nightline. No Babba Wawwa tho'. Oh and I really like Inside the Actors Studio. And I'd buy a local news station and treat the employees right! All you production geeks out there know what I'm talking about!
I could go on and on and on about this subject. So... I think I'll quit now before everyone starts thinking I'm completely nuts.
