What to do? What to do! The TV season may be over but you wouldn’t know it to look at the schedule for this coming Sunday night at 9:00. For starters, the season finale of Six Feet Under. After being turned off by the first few episodes of the first season, I started watching and now it’s good, really good. TNT has an original movie starring Patrick Stewart, King of Texas, which fortunately will be repeating numerous times; don’t you want to see Captain Picard play Shakespeare as a Texas rancher?. The Tonys are on too but I don’t really care, do you?
Here’s the dilemma: ABC is premiering The Hamptons and Fox Looking for Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska. How can I miss out on such intense, dramatic reality programming? Just because I think Survivor sucks, Fear Factor farts, and Temptation Island blows.
With Tivo I can record only one show at a time and I can watch another on the other set. What’s a poor boy to do? Actually, I think I’ll just be watching Six Feet Under. Reality shows can bite my shorts, to paraphrase another Sunday night TV hero.
Serious programming note: At 10 make sure to watch the new HBO series The Wire which Matt Roush says is even better than Six Feet Under. Another David Simon (Homicide, The Corner) Baltimore cops and criminals show.
