10 things I learned in four days of TV

In my last post I mentioned that I picked up a book. I had made it known that I had been wiped out to the point of watching TV this past weekend, a habit I had kicked for the most part. It took something like the Phillies playing in the World Series. A friend who knew I had been sucked into TV sent her husband to the rescue.

So there I was watching TV when the doorbell rang. I peered out a window and saw a friend standing there, so I opened my door. He handed me a biography of one of my favorite jazz musicians, then walked away wishing me good health and some time away from the TV.

but in four days I had learned some things.

1. I still dig Jim Rockford
2. I might have liked the A-Team had I given it a chance.
3. I Spy has amazingly cool jazz playing in the background.
4. There was a TV show called The Bold Ones.
5. I still prefer NCAA Basketball over the professionals
6. The jazz standard Peter Gunn was a theme song to Peter Gunn of course.
7. I still have no desire, no matter how sick I may be at the time, to watch people shout Jerry as people attack each other on a stage.
8. That Law and Order is still on the air. How cool is that.
9. One can watch hours of TV without watching reality TV.
10. I still cringe when skiers and bobsleds loose their equilibrium.

so an interest in what jazz musician could drive me away from all that...
