TV junkie

With only a few weeks left to go before the completion of my winter hibernation, I've been watching an inordinate amount of TV. Dirt, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Man vs. Wild and Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe take up most of my time, and I am, to some degree, obsessive about each one of them. But a couple of new ones have popped up on the radar that I feel we should discuss.

The Riches:
Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver are the headliners in FX's newest TV drama that premiered tonight. I think this show has a lot of potential, although I wasn't bowled over by tonight's episode (although the opening scene was terrific). However, I read a review in the paper that said this show doesn't really hit its stride until about the 3rd episode, so we'll give it some time. Again, though: FX is bringing the heat!

The Sarah Silverman Program:

OK, so I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on this one, but I am just catching up with all the episodes on Comedy Central, and I am completely hooked. I think Sarah Silverman is one of the funniest comedians out there right now, and her show is absolutely hilarious. It's so off-beat and wrong on so many levels... just the way I like it!!! This is definitely one of those shows I will need to buy on DVD when it comes out. Sample quote, just to give you an idea of what you'll be getting into: "I stubbed my vagina."

Dirt tomorrow!
