I don't know about you, but I never really cared for min-series myself. They give you a bunch a filler all week and then leave the dramatic conclusion for the last 5 minutes of the last night. Or worse yet, they leave you hanging and force you to draw your own conclusions as to what actually happened. I promise not to do that, and here, without further ado, is the dramatic conclusion:
On Friday I watched very little TV, so I've combined the journal with Saturday which was also TV limited due to a mediocre round of golf:
Sarah Silverman (Comedy Central): 30 minutes, took about 20 minutes to watch
30 Rock (NBC): 30 minutes, took about 20 minutes to watch
My Name Is Earl (NBC): 30 minutes, took about 20 minutes to watch
Scrubs (NBC): 30 minutes, I only watched about 3 minutes before I fell asleep from boredom
CSI (CBS): 1 hour, took about 50 minutes to watch
Cold Case (CBS): 1 hour, took about 50 minutes to watch
Life (NBC): 1 hour, took about 50 minutes to watch
For a 2-day total of 5 hour and 30 minutes of programming (not counting a single minute of Scrubs!)
For those that have been paying attention, that brings the six day total to 26 hours and 30 minutes of programming watched. That is far short of the Queen's 50 hour estimate and with only one day left, 50 hours seems an implausible feat...the results follow!
Fortunately for the Queen, Sunday TV watching easily allows for multi-tasking and I watched all this programming (with a few hours left in the day!)
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (USA): 1 hour, took about 50 minutes
Friday Night Lights (NBC): 1 hour, took about 50 minutes
The Soup (E!): 30 minutes, took about 20 minutes
Throwdown with Bobby Flay (Food Network): 30 minutes, took about 15 to watch
Designed to Sell (HGTV): 30 minutes, took about 15 to watch
Football, primarily consisting of GB/Minn, Phil/Wash & Det/AZ: 4 hours and 15 minutes watched over about 5 and a half hours
Sell This House (A&E): 30 minutes, took about 15 minutes to watch
The Next Iron Chef (Food Network): I watched all 6 episodes of 1 hour each. They each took about 40 minutes to watch, except the finale which took about 45 minutes.
NASCAR (ABC): I watched 3 hours and 15 minutes of racing in about 1 hour
Amazing Race (CBS): 1 hour, watched in about 50 minutes
Bring the Sunday total to 18 hours and 30 minutes of programming watched so far...
That brings the weekly total to 45 hours of programming!! With a couple hours left before the stroke of midnight, it looks like those who voted less than 50 hours have won. Whether that is a victory or if it is a defeat is uncertain...all that we know is it's a crap load of TV.
The Queen has spoken!
