Back in February you might recall me mentioning that as the Hollywood writer’s strike was fizzling out, so was my interest in TV. At the time, my favorite sitcoms and dramas had run out of new episodes, having been replaced with either reruns or reality TV shows. Thus, it was easy to say that I had lost interest in watching TV.

But now, many of the networks’ shows have resumed–including my former favorites–and thus began the true test of my resolve to keep the tube turned off. But I’m pleased to announce, I think I’m cured. The TV has stayed shuttered behind the entertainment armoire–only appearing for the occasional movie. And best of all, I don’t miss “my shows” a bit.

So I guess I owe my thanks to Hollywood, but I doubt it would appreciate such a thank you note.
