I can't sleep

It's almost 1 a.m. here and I can't sleep so I'm watching the finale of Kourtney and Khloe take Miami for the 10000 time. I sometimes hate how E! only replays the same episode again and again and again, but I can't help it. It's the only channel I like to fall asleep to (unless they decide to show one of the top ten unsolved murder shows--then I switch to Comedy Central or Animal Planet).

What TV shows do you watch when you can't sleep? Maybe you can give me suggestions so I'm not always watching the same thing.

As a side note--did anybody watch Rescue Me tonight? I thought the beginning was really dragged out--but that ending certainly was a shocker.

Summer Television Woes

There isn't much to watch on TV when it comes to the summer. Network stations begin running reruns and reality TV shows (which I'm not a big fan of) leaving viewers without much to watch. So what's a serious TV addict to do during this television drought? You wouldn't think there would be a lot of options, but thanks to TV on DVD and the internet there's plenty.

One of my favorite websites to watch TV is Netflix. Sure, it coats a little, but it gives you plenty of options. For instance, I'm beginning to watch Party Down (a Starz series produced by Rob Thomas, the creator of Veronica Mars). It also stars a lot of my favorite Veronica Mars actors (and Jane Lynch) which is a huge plus. I also plan on catching up on Rescue Me (an FX series I've seen some episodes of) before it premieres July 29th.

I also exploring my old favorite TV shows on DVD. I've recently been doing a rewatch of Veronica Mars (it's been years since I've watched the episodes straight through in order). I'm also looking forward to the release of Everwood Season 3 (one of my other favorite cancelled shows).

I'll be posting on what I think of both Party Down and Rescue Me once I get a couple of episodes in to each series. But for now, how do you deal with the television drought during the summer?
