What I’m Watching on TV

I know that you're dying to know, just what I'm watching on TV. Well, I don't actually watch TV, I download TV shows and watch them on my computer.

HBO premiered their new comedy "Hung" the other night. Not a bad show, but the premise feels awfully familiar. Actually, I'm pretty sure the concept is exactly the same as "Weed" and "Breaking Bad". Parental unit is hard up for cash, and they need to figure out a way to make ends meet. "Weeds" and "Breaking Bad" go with dealing pot and selling crystal meth respectively, while hung takes an entirely different approach and maybe even a less believable approach. He's a teacher/high school basketball coach who has decided to become a male prostitute. This is all fine and dandy if he was going to go out there and start smoking some pole, but that's not going to happen. But I'm sure he's going to get with sad house wives and rich divorcees. The one compelling part of the show is where is shot; Detroit. I'm always enthralled with the depiction of America's decaying cities, so I'll give this show a few more just to see if the expand on that.

I'm half way through season 2 of Mad Men. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get into this show, but it is clearly a winner. It's original, compelling and has a really strong class of actors. And oh yeah, Christina Hendricks is on the show. Season 1 was good enough to get me to stick with it, but season 2 is simply great. Honestly, don't be me, go out and watch this show.

I'm not going to call this good television, but "True Blood" is a watchable show with an ton of turns. I've never seen "Lost", but I imagine the show follows the same type of outline; crazy weird shit happening all the time and it's almost hard to follow. I've always dug vampires, and the vampires in this one are pretty cool, so I'll stick around until it jumps the shark.

And that is basically it. I'm dying for season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter" but otherwise its summer and who needs television.
