The Rhythm of Summer

So, I watched the season finale of GLEE last night, which was my last show of the year to end.

Note: It was a good finale. And, although the birth scene was asinine and  nonsensical (especially the timing thereof... I mean, seriously, they all had time to go with Quinn to the hospital, wait for her to birth the baby, AND get back in time for the winner's announcement?), and I didn't really understand why Puck wanted to name the baby 'Beth', it was a good one. I liked it most because, like in the premiere and a handful of episodes throughout, they were singing for a purpose. I didn't care for the episodes where they would burst into song out of the blue, for no reason at all. It was like I was watching "Cop Rock" or something.

I like not having shows to be committed to during the summer months. I like sitting around in the evenings, just listening to the silence of the world around me. It's nice.

Here's a list of the shows I've watching throughout the year:

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
GLEE
MERCY
PARENTHOOD
THE MIDDLE
MODERN FAMILY
COUGAR TOWN
COMMUNITY
THE OFFICE
30 ROCK
SURVIVOR
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
THE SIMPSONS
THE AMAZING RACE

If every one of those shows was new (which isn't possible because some of them came on mid-season), that would be 10 hours of television per week. Which would average out to about 1-1/2 hour of television per day.

This summer, I will watch LAST COMIC STANDING, and that's it. The rest of my nights will be filled with silence, books, sex (yes, Vern, I said it), and Battleship.
