Catch My Soul
Caught again, this time by Lucia who has some terrific patterns on her blog (go ahead, I'll wait here for you), this time a TV meme:
1. How much space is left on your Tivo or Comcast box? Right now? Quite a lot. But we just deleted whole bunches of already-viewed epidodes that the kid said he doesn't plan to watch.
2. Have you ever bought a DVD of a TV series and if so which one? No. I got the first season of The Sopranos as a gift. Then we rented the next several seasons, one disc at a time. The kid bought the other half the Ken Burns' Civil War, and we , in turn, bought him Band of Brothers, so I gues the real answer is "yes."
3. What was the last TV show that you all watched before reading this message? Live? The news. We don't watch much live these days. I call it quits at about 9 each evening, because I get up at 5 to get ready for work. If it weren't for TiVo, I would have no connection to pop culture at all. But we watch the news for 2 hours (5-7) nearly every evening. And last night we rented Shall We Dance. Oh, my. Must see. If only for the choreography!
4. List 5 shows you won't miss. Again, thank gawd for TiVo: NYPD Blue and I sure am going to miss it after next week, Law and Order, and all its iterations, ER (did I hear it's being cancelled?), Third Watch, and The West Wing (we came upon that one late, but got up to speed thanks to syndication), in no particular order. Throw in current Star Trek version and a "flavor of the month" like Medium and Lost and you have a peek at the viewing habits in this household. Nielsen would be appalled!
5. Name 3 people to whom you will pass this stick. Well, I think I'll just put it up for grabs seeing that many/most of my readers have already participated.

I loved "Shall We Dance" too. I remember reading a negative review; I decided whoever that was was insane.
That reviewer had no soul!
I'm not especially a fan of eithe J-lo or Gere, but Susan Sarandon is my ideal "mature *cough* woman" (she and I are "the same age").
