Based on our interests, it's a wonder that Erika and I are together. Oddly, the one thing we seem to agree on most of the time is TV shows. If it weren't for me, Erika may be stuck watching
The Pussycat Dolls and
The Apprentice.
I watched season 1 of
Heroes religiously. It was the one show I couldn't miss every week. I guess it grew on Erika once she realized that Peter Petrelli was good to look at.
It's also my fault that Erika has become fanatical about
Ghost Hunters. I happened upon it by chance one day and it was interesting. Next thing you know I'm catching Saturday marathons of it. While you wouldn't know it by listening to her talk about
Ghost Hunters, but there was a time when she wouldn't watch it because it was too freaky. Somewhere along the way, she started looking for cute boys instead of ghosts, and now I have to deal with new episode squeals.
But, to be fair, she's the one that found
Mythbusters. It's so nerdy, but funny at the same time. If I had known science was so fun, I'd have chosen a slightly different path in college.
While I can adamantly deny being fanatical about
One Tree Hill, I have to admit it is at least entertaining. I never paid attention to the show before this season, and were I alone on a Tuesday night, I probably wouldn't tune in. However, I can think of worse things to watch on Tuesday night, such as a boring episode of people who think they can sing, but in reality a British snot has already determined the outcome.
Unfortunately, one of this season's best new shows,
Reaper, has been all but canceled. I loved it and I think Erika found it entertaining at least. One of the wittiest shows on TV,
Reaper has not been picked up for a second season. The CW elects to keep Smallville which has turned into the biggest pile of garbage. I truly don't understand why shows never get the chance they deserve. If nothing else, Kevin Smith can probably get this on cable some where.
