TV shows that come and go...

TV shows come and go.  Rarely are there shows that have longevity.  Well...the last episode of ER aired last week.  ER was a show that I watched religiously through about 2002 or so.  After that, I just lost it.  It was a great show that ran longer than most.  That got me thinking about my top tv shows.  Here's a few:

• Cheers.  I know....I know...it's a show about a bar.  But it was a really good sitcom.  Great actors and episodes.
• The Cosby Show.  One of the best family shows of all-time.  Talk about some parenting lessons being learned from a show.  There you go.
• Friends.  One of the funniest shows ever.  I think I've seen every episode...at least twice.  If not more.  I'll still watch it if it comes on.
• ER...as mentioned above. 
• The Apprentice.  This is my reality show fix.  I like the tasks that they have to complete.  I like the competition.  I like to see people bringing together talents and gifts to pull stuff off.  I like to see the dynamics of teamwork from people from totally different backgrounds. 

These are not all-inclusive.  But they are/were good ones!!

What are some of your favorite tv shows....past or present?

Good Day

Today has been good. 

• Talked to some of our Bible study leaders on the phone this morning.  Next year is shaping up nicely.
• Finished up a Bible Study
• Hanging out with the college group tonight at the Summers' for a cookout. 
• Micah is so close to being done with 1st grade.  He finishes up this week.  He was one of the top 4 accelerated readers in his class this year.  I think they get to do something special tomorrow for that.
• Ate some dang good upside-down sweet potato pie at lunch today.  My goodness!!
• Listening to some Steve Fee.
• I'm looking forward to going to see the new Indiana Jones movie this Friday.  
• American Idol finale is tonight.  I was/am rooting for David Cook.  I have to say, though, that David Archuletta smoked him last night. 

American Idol Gives Back

I watched American Idol tonight half-heartedly.  The show was a huge fundraising drive for different causes around the world.  After all the celebrities, all the songs, the comedians, one song wrapped it up:  Shout To The Lord.  I found it ironic that of everyone on the show, Jesus was the one who was "given a shout out" through that song at the end.  Is it an older worship song?  Yes.  Is it a good song?  Yes.  Was I surprised that it was on there at all?  Most definitely.  Jesus, regardless of what is going on in the world, will be lifted up. 

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

The television show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" has mesmerized many.  What one would consider simple questions become a matter of just not remembering elementary facts.  This has become a favorite show of Micah's to watch.  It comes on Thursdays at 7 P.M.
