My Extended Families

When my parents came to visit Richard and I in our little apartment in San Diego we spent time visting the zoo and other popular places in San Diego but we always had to be back by 3:30  on a weekday.  Why?  They had a favorite

soap opera they just could not miss!!  No tivo in those days. 

We laughed about it at the time--they were so intent on keeping up with their little family drama.  And now I find myself doing the same thing.  Through TV, the recorder and Hulu on my computer I keep up with:

1. Office
2. Modern Family
3. Grey's Anatomy
4. Private Practice
5. Survivor
6. Parenthood
7. American Idol
8. Dancing With the Stars
9. Castle
10. The Forgotten
11. The Good Wife
12. Friday Night Life
13. Ugly Betty
14. Damages
15. Army Wives
16. Life Unexpected
17. Brothers and Sisters
18. Desperate Housewives

Wow, that is a lot of TV.  But life is different when you are old, not working, and alone.  You can't read all the time.  You become a part of many 'families' on tv.  It is especially sad when you get totally involved and then they cancel them!!
