This Post is Really Boring, But Read It For the Recommendation Anyways.

I used to watch a lot of television. I'd get home from work, watch TV as I cooked dinner, continued watching as I ate, and then watch after dinner. Recently, I have successfully cut back on watching TV as something to do when bored. This has allowed me to: read and write more.

It has also made the shows I do watch all the more enjoyable. They become events. It's no longer, "time for X, I'll change over." It's more: "Sweet! X is on!" Then I run out to the living room.

The shows I watch are: 24, Unscripted, and Arrested Development. I also still watch The Iron Chef when I eat my dinner. I am bored with Lost, Alias had a great Seaon 1 and has been flat since, and The Simpsons is irrelevant nowadays. I mean, they lampooned baking contests this season. Yeah. Betty Crocker sure had it coming.

But recently I've added a new one: Deadwood. This is definitely my favorite show currently running. The writing is fantastic, the characters are great, the production design is incredible. I'm actually blown away by it. I haven't been this excited about a show since The Sopranos was new. If you haven't seen it, start watching. If you don't have HBO, get it so you can watch it. Or rent the Season 1 DVD.

You won't be disappointed.
