Two things I take from this:

1. Why do I have the feeling that Alessandra Stanley and Maureen Dowd
are double-handedly setting back the very concept of female newspaper
columnists* 25 years every time they write something? Is it something
in the water there?

(* I put the word columnists in there deliberately, because for every
two-bit piece of drivel those two come up with, Jackie Calmes writes
something smart and intelligent on the news side and I wonder why
*she* doesn't get those column inches?)

2. Due to life and various other things, the only TV show I am
actually up-to-date on is The Big Bang Theory. I am on episode six of
last season of 30 Rock (thanks to a 90-minute commuter bus ride each
way to the office), so I hope to be completely caught up on that in
the next couple of weeks.

Here's what's sitting on my hard drive waiting to be watched (all from
original broadcasts, mind you; it's not like I rented a bunch of DVDs
and uploaded them):

Mad Men: most of season 2, all of season 3 and 4
Modern Family: season 1
Being Erica: seasons 1 & 2
Parenthood: season 1
Simpsons: seasons 20 & 21
Family Guy: last half of season 8
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: seasons 3 through 6

The thing that frustrates me on my side is that it's simply a lack of
time on my part to be able to focus on these programs. I have a TiVo
and DVD players galore for background noise programs (SpongeBob,
Simpsons, M*A*S*H*), but rarely do I have the time to just mentally
focus on a show (until this new commute came along).

I have no idea if anyone has this problem, but I just thought I'd
share. Since it took me nearly two weeks to get this link out to the
board, you probably get the picture.
