They say confession is good for the soul so I'm going to list some of my most blashphemous transgressions against almighty television.
- Even though it's listed as one of TV's top dramas, I've never seen an entire episode of The Wire. People say you have to watch at least a dozen hours to appreciate the rich storytelling but that makes it sound like a chore. What if I watch an entire season and still don't like it?
- I'm looking forward to a new series of VH1's Scream Queens.
- The only episode of Conan I TiVo'd last year was the one where he bashed his head on the studio floor. Sorry Conzie.
- I miss Pimp My Ride.
- Craig Ferguson's funny but I also think he panders a bit much to us Americans. Perhaps it's the way he wears an American flag as a kilt on the cover of his book.
- I've spent more time ogling pictures of Christina Hendricks than actually watching Mad Men.
- I once TiVo'd The Jay Leno Show. In my defense it was the episode where Garfunkel & Oates made a guest appearance. I recorded their part on a DVD-R and deleted the rest of the episode. Oh, and for people who say the whole NBC/Tonight Show debacle isn't Jay's fault, yes it is. Leno agreed to give up The Tonight Show five years ago. No one forced him to but he wanted to please his bosses at NBC. Changing your mind later and telling everyone you want your old job back is a punk move.
