My own little hiatus.

If a week can be considered such a thing. It is summer, you know... and therefore, not much is on my TV radar at the moment, especially considering the move and etc. STILL. I finished (stayed up until 4 a.m. to watch) season 2 of HOUSE and am very eagerly (read: impatiently) awaiting the season 3 DVDs - of that and several other shows. There's just something about that Hugh Laurie that makes him a teensy bit irresistible. Obsessive. That's me.

Things I've heard about recently:
1. Heroes is already back in production. Good grief.
2. David Anders has been cast on Heroes (hello, love him!)
3. Fandomicity, which I'll assume everyone has seen by now, but if not, there are tons of YouTube links floating around - including the one in the post below this one. Check it out if you like The Office. There's just no excuse not to.
4. Some of the Heroes cast is not returning.
5. Why is this all about Heroes?

Speaking of The Office. Today was my last day of work at the design firm. My boss and a coworker took me out to lunch and gave me a little going away gift: a DWIGHT BOBBLEHEAD. So excited! He will find an immediate place of prominence on my desk - once it's been unpacked. Isn't he cute? And I hear there are bobbleheads of other cast members coming soon!!! They're gonna suck us all in. Every single one of us.

I'm ending this pointless, rambling post now, before it's too late. I promise a return to some sort of normalcy once I'm resettled on the West Coast.

By my calculation...

The hiatus is almost upon us.

(Or the nervous breakdown, in my case.)

I'm sitting here with a day planner, counting up how many episodes are left of each of my shows. Far too few for my liking. In about four weeks, the 2006-2007 Television Season will be over... and I'll be in Dante's 7th circle of Hell. Laugh it up, but it's true. The beach trip I'm going on in June is a nice consolation prize for the months of TV-less, summer suffering I'll endure until September.

I did just read on GMMR, that Studio 60 comes back May 24. I know the show has its issues, but I like it. No idea how many eps they'll be running. Probably not enough to appease my emotional upheaval and withdrawal.

That said, I am planning to fill the summer months with three shows I've never seen before, so maybe they'll dull the pain. Just what I need, right? Three potential new obsessions. House, 24 and Entourage. They're lined up in the Netflix cue, but as Kelly taught us a few weeks ago, it's rather easy to change the order.

So, which one should I watch first?
