The Big C

Great....

Despite ongoing and aggressive action to REDUCE the amount of TV we watch here in the Such Is Life household, it just so happened that our television was on in the background over breakfast yesterday. There was a marathon running of the entire first season of the critically acclaimed "The Big C", which roped us right in.

So, we PVR'd the entire season, and will be working our way up to the latest episode, as time permits.

This is the problem when you're trying to cut back on television shows - despite dropping programs we really enjoy, and trying to maintain a mere handful of other offerings, family members will recommend some dumb-ass show ("Storage Wars"??? Dammit Yuup, we just can't quit you.......) and we're hooped.

At our age, we do have to watch out for our ultra-sensitive brain cells though, so we absolutely refuse to watch anything that features a "Snooki", a host that does DNA testing to resolve paternity issues among knuckle-draggers, or almost anything that starts with "reality". It is an ongoing effort, and we must remain vigilant at all times - stupid is invasive, and hard to get out once it finds a home.

Anyhow, looks like we still have a few episodes of Season One to get through, so I must excuse myself - this show is a hoot!

Chow for now...
