Day 792: Turn Off Your TV Week?

It's 'Turn Off Your TV Week'?  Come again?  Have you ever heard of such a silly thing?  Preposterous!  As you know, I have a healthy appetite for television… and when I’m away from my family… the appetite increases tenfold!


When I’m not at work, blogging, or baking casseroles… I’m probably watching TV… or doing push-ups… but probably watching TV.  


And there is nothing wrong with that… so please forgive me for not recognizing Turn Off Your TV Week.


Now, if the initiative was called something more like, ‘Force your kids to get some fresh air so daddy can rewatch the conspiracy episodes of X-Files… or Twin Peak’, now you’re talking!  I can get behind that holiday!


So, what will I be filling my time with as I desecrate 'Turn Off Your TV Week'?  Well, I’m on a British and Canadian TV kick right now.  I’ve been watching ‘Being Human’ which is a BBC show about a vampire, werewolf and ghost sharing a flat (seriously… I don’t think I could have made that up); ‘Death Comes to Town’, the 10 episodes Canadian mini-series that reunited ‘The Kids in the Hall’; and ‘Slings and Arrows’, the Canadian series about a fictitious Shakespeare Festival. 


It should be fun!  


So kick those kids out of the house, pop some popcorn, and settling into the couch for some quality one on one time with you TV!  


Or turn it off.  SEE IF I CARE!


Love you, bye.
