Column… due… Thursday… Mind blank….

I need to watch more television. I used to think I watched too much television. It’s always on. It wasn’t until I started writing this column that I realized that the TV is just… on. Background noise. Usually a movie running if I can find one I like, if not then some old sitcom or episode of Whose Line. I can’t stand it when it’s quiet.

I don’t watch CSi, or Desperate Housewives or ummm… I don’t know. Anyway the point is I don’t really watch enough television to be able to write columns about it. So instead I look for some different angle to write from. Right now I’m thinking maybe I’ll take a look at how the Internet has affected television. And that idea just popped in my head as I typed this. I could talk about how fans of television shows can have an outlet for their need to talk about a show they love – especially if they don’t know anyone in their lives who watch it. There’s a niche for nearly every show, new or old. It’s allowed interactivity. There have been internet campaigns to save shows. You have instant access to every aspect of a show allowing your obsessiveness to row and grow until you end up with your own fansite *cough*

Hehehe I’ll think about it. Ok this helped. Gnight 🙂
