Actually it was more than I expected … I religously watch The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Desperate Housewives, House, Weeds, SVU and Dexter … 30 Rock I catch from time to time same as SNL and Pushing Daisies I lost interest in. The exception to all the shows is Monk. I never watched it in the past when it was on, but I am currently ploughing through 100s of re-runs and I believe a new season starts this week … Shaloub is a genius, so sorry I never watched before now. Of everything else listed I hope that Tim Conway gets the nod in his category, that old actor routine was hilarious … anyway we shall see. If you haven’t yet make sure you check out Dexter.
