I don't want to get sucked in for yet another year of this, but Monday is a virtual wasteland compared to other nights, and I fear I won't have the strength to avoid these shows. Help me out. Give me words of strength. Talk me out of it.

welcome to the club!!!!

you are soon to be a member of the "I'm attracted to crap like flies" club.

Discover Channel owns Monday nights for me. 7-10.

I agree. Monster house, monster garage and american choppers rule my Monday nights.

i dont even know what comes on Mondays on Fox...kinda weird since I used to watch BP every monday on there.


Monday is spent watching tivoed stuff from Sunday, usually Alias and Practice. Since there was no MITM or AD this week, I watched Alias live. So tomorrow will just be Practice

American Idol would be much better if there weren't so much filler in the series. The auditions are always funny (the first time around, not when they rehash them later on to pad their hour long result shows), and the night they actually sing are enjoyable. I have vowed not to watch a result show until it's down to 3 or 4 people this year, and then, only the last 10-15 minutes, because they are an utter and total waste of time. We'll see if I stick to it. Hopefully this season we'll be easier to watch now that i have a ReplayTV and can skip through the Ford Focus and Coca-Cola ads and the "yo-yo dawg, not good man, not good" that drag it out so much.


edit because apparently I had cows on the brain

Just watch Stargate on scifi das

[long breath]

The problem I found with American Idol is that I tune in to laugh at all the crap, but then I get sucked into rooting for one or two of the contestants and can't get away. I told myself I wouldn't watch last season, and that worked for shit. Staying away from My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance will likely be just as difficult.

I enjoy watching American Idol just to see some stuck-up, prissy teenager get put in their place by good ol' Simon. (And to drool over Paula Abdul, of course.)

Here's an idea. Why don't you try NOT watching TV for one freaking night.

Why don't you try not making rude comments

Kinda defeats the purpose when you quote him. *

* the smiley is for you, Deftones

How many nights is "American Idol" going to be on? I watched last year, and really enjoyed it, but I forgot. I know it's at least two. And what are the times as well.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 8pm, and then just Tuesday and Wednesday after that until the inevitable part where they start milking it for 3 hours a night late into the season. I just hope they have some different sponsors this time around.

Ooh! Deftones to the rescue!! It reminds me of a girl defending her incompetent boyfriend.

Yeah Deftones, how can he keep avioding the truth if you won't let him?!

I have never watched American Idol yet so I don't think it will be a problem for me to skip it again. However I find myself drawn to My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance.

Thanks, das!

I wouldn't have phrased it the same way myself, but I had the same exact thought...

New Everwood tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I plan on watching not only Idol and Fiance, but Fear Factor and Average Joe as well. Plus I'll be switching to WWE Raw during commericals. You'll get no words of strength from me.

Everwood will be the lone island of non-guilty-pleasure entertainment for me tomorrow.

Well, you're no help. Although, I am really looking forward to the return of Everwood. Over the break, I didn't really miss too many of this season's shows, but I've been lost on Mondays without Everwood.

das

come on folks, how can you watch Fox when its the conclusion to the Real World Road Rules Gauntlet challenge tonight on MTV.

<sigh>

I'll be watching AI and Everwood on the ATSC channels. No Las Vegas tonight, and CSI: Miami is a rerun, so I guess I'll watch MBFOF on my ReplayTV after Everwood. At least, if MBFOF sucks, I can just skip to another recorded show.

Is Shield Season 2 on DVD yet? That would get you through the week.

Yes, the Shield Season 2 DVD set is now out.
