Okay so I’m done with Gilmore Girls. Or at least till I find the better quality DVDs I have been dying to possess since I was 16. The number of things that I want to buy the moment I begin to earn is becoming too ginormous to be handled in a lifetime. Not necessarily realistic, but it’s nice to fantasize.
Okay, let’s keep the serious I-need-to-get-insurance-for-my-mom-talk aside for a while and talk about the other less frustrating issues on my mind.
Television, Uhm well. There have been a large number of shows over the years that I have hoped to able to procure in time. I used to be a super-couch-denting-wood-rotting piece of T.V. addict before. Ah well. College has done me well, at least in this context. If I would have decided to continue my borderline psychotic addiction in college, then I would have probably ended up idolizing either the meek-chiffon-clad-uber-sensitive-yet-torchbearing housewife cum mother cum daughter-in-law; OR the flirtatious-hackneyed-bimbo of a 20 something year old. Anyway, what I mean to say is, currently I am deprived of the opportunity of even being in the vicinity of the many shows that I held so close to my heart; courtesy the reigning drama queens of my ground floor common room. The only room in the hostel with access to television. As Lorelai Gilmore would say, someone find them a towel to wrap themselves in so that they can trip out of a window, and lock themselves out or something.
So now I take my share of the vicarious pleasure of listing out some stuff I hope to be able to see in future.
1. Well, I watched all the Heroes I could find on the Internet, and I think I have done a pretty good job at that. I gathered that what I have seen is what the rest of the world has seen. So here here, hear me say CHECK.
2. Gilmore Girls should have ideally topped the list, however, I have succeeded in finding most of the episodes online, I can now wait until I’m old enough to afford the DVDs
3. I lost track of LOST long time back. I used to watch it like a maniac. Now? Now I don’t even remember the season I last watched.
4. Grey’s Anatomy, yeah I can get corny at times, but hell television gets to the meanest of people. So what the hell. This is one show that I managed to watch even while in college coz it was aired later in the night after all the prime time Ekta Kapoor mania had subsided sufficiently. The people that lingered even after, well they had some pretty bad times enduring my wrath. Kudos to my success! Seriously. Despite all this I think I only got to the middle of the 2nd season. I don’t know if the later seasons were ever aired in
5. One Tree Hill. Well I’m not sure about this one. I mean this is exactly the kind of show I would sit and mock to death. But it was entertaining, though I wouldn't go out of the way to find the episodes.
6. Life as we know it was a pretty interesting show as well. Initially all the guys seemed crazy nutjobs. But I found it relate-able after a while. I think it got cancelled or maybe it exists in some dark looming corner. Sad, either way.
7. Desperate Housewives. (I think here I need to mention that the list is not based on any kind of priority based rating. The shows just materialize as and when I think of them) The 3rd(?) season is on right now. But there is absolutely no way I’ll get to watch them. The show is over hyped and over publicized. But I think it is so for good reason, however the actors could probably go about with a little less attention and leave some for my dear dear Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. I find D. H. intelligent and upbeat. I wish I could watch more of it in peace.
8. Full House!...ah I have seen all the episodes of these like a trillion times, I just couldn’t make this list and forget Full House.
9. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. - I don’t know why I wrote it this way. I find people who do this tacky. Anyway, I couldn’t learn more about the U.S. of A. from any other show. Not that I think that their lifestyle is in anyway comparable to the real thing. But I can figure out where the truth ends and the fabrication begins.
10. Aly McBeal – I used to LOVE the show. When I started watching it, the show had been over for many years, so I got to watch daily reruns. It was real cute.
11. Lonely Planet/Globetrekker – I simply wish they keep traveling around the world till there is no more place left for them to visit.
12. OC – I found the 4th season interesting, I was waiting for Mischa Burton to leave the show, so that it could become somewhat bearable. Adam Brody rocks. But he shouldn’t have left Gilmore Girls for a snotty drama. Anyway, I got to see way more of him on OC, and that is all that counts.
13. Office – I have never gotten around to seeing it properly. But I am definite I will.
I am sure there are more. The list will keep getting longer.
