Random Thoughts on Daytime TV

It's Memorial day......thanks to the soldiers, etc.  Seriously.

I am not at home during the day, usually. And when I am I usually allow my DD to watch Disney channel. However, she is in her room today and I am in the living room doing chores, etc. Channel surfing.

My random thoughts on daytime tv. Yes, General Hospital is currently on, but watching it live means watching the commercials. I will wait until it DVR's and then watch it.

In the meantime, I realized that OMG, Rachel Ray is FREAKIN' Annoying.  On her 30 minute show, she is mildly annoying. Sometimes even tolerable and cute. However, on her talk show...I seriously threw up a little in my mouth. I had to change the channel. I couldn't watch. 

And when did TLC (The Learning Channel, right?) become reality show central. I mean, they have a family of 8 and follow their day to day. For Christ's sake, get my video camera out, perhaps I am a superstar in the making and I don't even know it.

BBC network is running a Monty Python marathon. Eh, I get and like British humor, but a marathon's worth. Naw, I was looking for you are what you eat. 

And about a bajillion movies all already started, I so hate watching a movie once it's started.

Back to laundry I guess.

My schedule last summer was:
ER from 10-noon (TNT)
What Not To Wear 12-1 (TLC)
??? 1-2
Law and Order 2-4 (TNT)
Golden Girls 4-5 (Lifetime)

I'm kinda looking forward to NOT having cable. Maybe I'll actually go outside and play instead of watching rerun upon rerun!

I never have the tv on during the day. Unless it involves football or baseball.

If it gets too quiet in the house, I opt for music. Or let Monster Meg look out the window and bark.

Either way - problem solved.
