It dawns on me this morning (hey, a bad pun!!) that I haven't talked about our TV viewing habits lately, so let's discuss that this morning...

So, to set the tone, let me just admit that my wife and I DO NOT watch any super-popular shows, like Desperate Housewives, House, or any of the Idol series. No particular reason, but admittedly it does make for some awkward moments around the water cooler most mornings.

The fact that I work at home and feel compelled to linger around our water cooler may be a bigger concern in the long run, anyhow...

So, how do we fill in time if we don't watch the highest-rated TV shows??

To start, we have adopted a couple of shows that feature the former Grand Poobah of the rock band KISS, Mr. Gene Simmons. We have been thoroughly enjoying the tongue-in-cheek peek inside their family lives on Family Jewels. And, we have just gotten on the Gene Simmons: Rock School band wagon, which I fear may still have plenty of available seats even now.

What are we watching from this new season's offerings? Well, we started to watch Heroes, but after falling asleep during every episode to date, I think we'll bail on that one.

LOVE 30 Rock, the new comedy with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, who has yet to be as embarrassing onscreen as he can be in real life. Also, the show that follows that one, Twenty Good Years is good for a laugh or two.

There's probably more, but I have to run. Physio beckons!!

Chow for now!

Heroes is pretty sweet. Creepy Glasses Man is continuing the Cigarette Smoking Man's legacy, and all the classic superhero clichés are present for you to laugh at.

Or at least that's why I watch it...

Which just confirms that we are probably going to be incapable of pulling the plug. I do love my superhero cliches...

Hey, come come MY "e" doesn't have one of those fancy slashes???

We caught the finale of Rock School last night. Simmons is a hoot!!

Like 30 Rock. Alec Baldwin is actually watchable.

Cast is funny especially the writers.
Haven't been able to find Gene Simmons Family Jewels yet. Sounds good though.
Mm.. lmk reword that. havent' seen the show yet.

Oh yeah James Blunt sucks.

What the heck?? This is the Gene Simmons posting, NOT the James Blunt dialogue!!

However, good recovery on your faux pas.
