Friday Fives
1. How many TVs do you have in your home?
Three.
2. On average, how much TV do you watch in a week?
About 20 hours. About two hours a day and then loads on Sundays. I work nights so the choices are slim. It would be much worse if I were home in the evenings.
3. Do you feel that television is bad for young children?
Bad parenting and bad parenting choices are bad for young children. There is good television out there for kids. That said, I was raised in front of the television and in the words of Homer Simpson – ” Mmmmmm, Tele-vision.”
4. What TV shows do you absolutely HAVE to watch, and if you miss them, you’re heartbroken?
The West Wing, Friends, HBO’s Sunday night stuff, especially The Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under. And I am now taken by Law And Order Criminal Intent.
5. If you had the power to create your own television network, what would your line-up look like?
TV Land! I don’t know. Ed and I talked about an all sports rerun channel once, but now that is ESPN Classic (shakes fist). Tony and I thought a network of all television pilots, all the time would be fun. All the shows that never made it and the pilot episodes of current running shows. It could work.
via Fridayfive.org p.s. this isn't a current list. After my posting about my dad, I needed something fun and light and not too personal.
