What Next?

What do you do when you have no shows to be addicted to? I was watching Being Erica during Sienna's afternoon naps a couple of days a week, and Community with the husband several evenings a week. Now I patiently await the next seasons of each wildly entertaining series, which, alas, are a few months away.

I know there are plenty of good series out there, but I can't think of any I'm willing to commit to at this stage. Maybe it's time to cut down on the telly time anyway.... oh, but I like quality shows I can zoom through the seasons of! They're a nice antidote to The Wiggles and Dora.

I was doing some research, hoping to locate a TV series similar to Being Erica, which, if I was to narrow down to one genre, would be Time Travel Chick's Telly. Erica's time travel therapy is still fun to watch, but after three seasons, I find that the joys and pitfalls of Erica's determination to build a successful publishing company with her friend Julieanne, who was previously the boss from hell (Go Sisters! See, you don't have to hate each other, you can complement each other instead and start up shit- hot companies!) a lot more entertaining and addictive. Maybe I just need another series about women starting up their own fantabulous businesses.

And Community? Well, that's kinda like Scrubs, but instead of hospital interns, you're presented with Community College students.  If you were to simplify it heaps. The show revolves around a group of students who unwittingly form a study group. They range from high school graduates Troy and Annie, through to old timer Chevy Chase, who plays the racist, homophobic Pearce to perfection.

Troy and Abed are the new JD and Turk, and they're even more lovable - and come unencumbered by WAGs (thus far). They're big adorable nerds, and are kings at making forts out of bed sheets and pillows *until it becomes mainstream*. Abed comes across a little Aspergers-esque and it's in the most charming of ways.

Troy: (checks watch) My cousin's funeral is today.
Abed: Oh, that was today?
Troy: I knew there was some reason I couldn't do this today!

Anyway... think about it and get back to me. I need a new show. And don't talk to me about Season Four of True Blood coming up soon. I'm really sick of vampires and gap-toothed Southern Belles.

Later!
