Mrs. Conductor is thrilled tonight as she gets to watch her show without the kids bothering her. Both are in bed and she’s curled up on the couch. I tried to watch this show as I know it’s big and well, I feel bad that I truly don’t care. I missed the American Idol bandwagon (never seen one show in its entirety). Missed CSI (I mock it regularly. I used to do DNA research. Hey producers, labs are well-lit. No mood lights). So I figured, I’d take one for the team, miss the hated Yankees go to the World Series and watch this show. I quit around 15 minutes.
Look, I am all for fantasy. I am all for shows that defy reality. I love Criminal Minds. I dig Sons of Anarchy. And enjoy Law & Order. I can’t take Gray’s for a couple of reasons.
1. They are all too pretty. yes, it’s a chick show but come on, doctors who are on call for dozens of hours and nary a hair out of place. Beyond that, they all have great skin.
2. Too much drama. Yes, it’s TV. But man, I have worked in a hospital. Done the ER on both sides of the table. Most of what happens is that doctors are bored. Nurses bicker and the orderlies take bets on who can push the cart down the hall the farthest. Not really but you get the point.
3. It’s a chick show. UGH.
But on the plus side, I did miss the Yankee game. I hate the Yankees. I think it’s the duty of all Americans outside of New York to hate the Yankees. The problem is that it’s hard to root for the Phillies. Problems, Problems.
