Dark Mornings...

Are killing me.

Seriously, 7:45 up here and it's still dark out. Not cool. I've been on record many times in the past stating that I don't mind it when it's dark at five (I know...), but this is brutal.

Which segues (kinda) in to my topic for this morning. I was listening to NPR (I know.....) and there was an interesting tidbit on how TV ratings drop dramatically when daylight savings begins in April and then spikes more or less after this weekend, when daylight savings ends.

With that in mind, I will now go over my prime time choices for this time of year!

NBC programming:
Community- I'm very much enjoying this show as of late, and it's getting better and better. I like how self-referential this show is getting, and my only concern as of late is that it runs the risk of getting a little too cutesy. Still, the characters in this show are solid, and it's fast-paced, topical, and awesome.

30 Rock- What can I say? It's still awesome, still cohesive, and still (in my opinion) dominates the Thursday lineup.

The Office- Sadly, I can't say that I love this show anymore. There's too many reasons, but quite simply, the show has faded in to a Limbo of mediocrity.

Outsourced- I don't want to give up on this show, but I haven't lol'd either; I'm hoping it'll be like a Parks and Rec where it will just get better and better.

FX:
It's Always Sunny- Still ridiculous, and I'm still loving it!

Archer- Anxiously awaiting its return!

ABC:
Modern Family- Everyone needs to watch this show. It's borderline flawless in its heart, hilarity, and plot-lines and character development. If you haven't watched it yet, I strongly encourage you to give it a shot.

Cougar Town- I'll admit, I don't watch this show regularly, but as LLK would tell you, it's a very solid show. It makes sense, too, with veteran actors, and I believe a lot of veteran "behind-the-scenes" types.

Better off Ted- Of the air... :( It hurts too much to write about, but if you have netflix, indulge in this little gem.

CBS-
How I Met Your Mother- Another one I haven't been honestly watching religiously, but from what I have seen, it's still solid, albeit dragging out its title's premise.

Big Bang Theory- The only critique is that the show still has a laugh track. Without it would be superb for some weird reason to me. As it stands presently, it's still awesome.

Amazing Race- I need to catch up, yes, but this show always delivers for your reality buck. I would recommend it to anyone and highly recommend it over any other primetime reality show.

Ugh, I know this only scratches the surface of my boob-toob addiction which is in part sad. However, as noted above, since it will be getting darker sooner, I will be vindicated in my vice!
