The repeats are over and we can once
again see new episodes of our favorite TV shows. Tonight it’s The Big Bang
Theory (I’m loving Kathy Bates and Teller as Amy Fowler’s parents, he speaks!),
Bull (I like how they get into the minds of the jury), and then there is
Dancing with The Stars which I record to fast forward through the backstories.
I just want to see the dancing. I will give The Good Doctor another try. It
started strong last season, but then I started losing interest. I normally don’t
watch all of these on the day they air. I do a lot of recording. One show I do
watch when it airs is This Is Us. That will be tomorrow and I will be watching
it in my hotel room with my box of tissue.
I always wanted to work on a sitcom,
but I ended up working in television production and television news for 20
years. Through TV news I was able to experience living in different cities as I
checked out different stations. I spent three years in Las Vegas (KLAS), two
years in Portland, OR (KOIN), a few months working on Good Day Sacramento (I
didn’t like living in the city and I think it was just too soon after my mom
passed away and I needed family around). I kept going back to my hometown of
Salinas to work at (KION/KCBA). I enjoyed my job and the crew at KLAS, and the
city was fun. There was lots of free entertainment through work. I often
received passes for the various shows at the casinos and I made friends with
the performers at Starlight Express. I missed my family though and being able
to make a quick trip to the ocean. Portland was another fun experience, until
the snow came then it wasn’t fun driving to and from work, and navigating the
black ice in the middle of the night (I worked on the morning show). My
coworkers were great. This California girl couldn’t take the snow, but I did
love the drive to the coast in the Fall. The leaves turned those vibrant shades
orange, red, yellow.
Time to get back to Bull and the
other new episodes of the Fall season. I miss The Middle, but I’m looking forward to the return of
Murphy Brown.
I am looking forward to checking out Murphy Brown, as well. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do enjoy film and character driven series.
ReplyDeleteI love how diverse you are! I would think working in TV would be so stressful. Or too many divas...IDK. I'm excited about The Voice and seeing if New Amsterdam is good. I love some good doctor shows!
