The buzz around my office today is that people are looking for to a new “The Office” tonight. I have to confess that it’s not a show I watch. No reason really, I’m sure it’s brilliant and funny and has Steve Carell and really, I don’t know why I’m not watching it other than the fact that I just haven’t gotten a chance to. I think my brain says, “You should watch the British version first.” to which I reply, “Yeah okay. I should.” and then nothing happens because I get off on a tangent where I wonder if I may be slightly mad for carrying on a conversation with myself about a TV show.
But, if you’re a fan, then a new episode is airing tonight.
There’s also a new Survivor, so yay! I’ll be watching that and that’s about it for me. But there is also a new CSI and Without a Trace on after Survivor which are two other shows I never got into. And never will. I tried valiantly to watch WaT when James Marsters was a guest star, but aside from the very brief glimpses of him in a frumpy suit not getting much of a chance to show his acting chops, I think I’d rather pour lemon juice in a papercut than watch that show again. It was dry, the stories were not compelling and I didn’t care for any of the main characters. And I really tried to get into it by watching episodes from each season. It just didn’t do it for me. Besides, James doesn’t belong on a straight, crime solvey show like that, I don’t think it’s his forte.
As for CSI… it just never appealed. Still doesn’t. But that’s just me. I know several coworkers and friends who love various incarnations of CSI, so for you guys, don’t forget to watch the new one tonight 
Oh yeah, and I think an Idol results show is on. If you like that sort of thing.
