I don't watch a lot of series television. I enjoy the shorter seasons of cable shows, like "The Closer", "Monk" and "Psyche". The HBO and Showtime series can be too gritty or too adult ("Big Love" was fascinating, but a little too gratuitously sexual - and definitely not for the kids). Network TV is usually even worse. Any show that is consistently on the same night at the same time without getting moved around the schedule is usually graphically violent (Law and Order SVU, all the CSIs, Criminal Minds, etc.) and has too much sexual content. I enjoy a good thought provoking drama, a cerebral crime show, but honestly, at the end of the work day and after everyone's homework is done, dinner cooked and the house cleaned, I want art to flow over me. I don't want to have to work at it. So, I try to find some good comedies. For me that has meant I am out of pop culture sync since I don't watch "Ugly Betty" on Thursdays (I catch it later on cable if I catch it), I watch "My Name is Earl", "30 Rock", The Office" and "Scrubs".

I don't get a chance to watch much tv but your summary of the network attempts at "Green Week" and how off base and silly it was - an entertaining article. Thanks for the recap.

Great article...I usually catch the reruns or wait till the seasons come out on dvd if it is one I really like.
