  For the past year or two, it has been a rarity to find me actually urlLink glued to the TV for more than an hour. Increasingly I find there just isn't that much on TV that can keep me watching from show-to-show.
I might tune in for the occasional show, but then I'll head off to get online, or read, or continue writing up my plans to stalk/romance urlLink Samantha Mathis . Tuesday nights are beginning to change this. Last night I tuned in for urlLink The Gilmore Girls . I swear the writing on this show is getting better with each season. To the casual observer, it looks like nothing more than a girly urlLink 7th Heaven style family program, which it very easily could be. The difference is that the writing on the show is hysterically funny. There's rarely any real plot to speak of in any given episode. The classic scene from last nights episode involved the Rory and Lorelai Gilmore visiting a Harvard Allumni to get tips on applying to enter Harvard. I almost fell off my couch laughing when after meeting his family, Lorelai repeatedly insinuates that there is an incestuous relationship taking place in the household.
Not funny to read in a blog. Hilarious when spoken by the ever so spunky urlLink Lauren Graham . Usually this one hour of TV would be the end of my TV watching. Not so. Tuesday nights also herald the greatness that is urlLink The West Wing . Honestly, the show kind of sucked last year for the first 3/4. But this year I'm falling in love with it again.
The writing has steered away from the heavy political nature of season 3 and is returning to what the show did best. Focusing on the humanity of these professionals. I just wish I could understand how the hell the US electoral process works. I've been trying to work it out for years, but all this business with Primaries has me completely bewildered. I actually sat through an episode of Star trek: Deep Space Nine. Never done that before.
