Set your recorders, TV is back!

It has indeed been a very long and very lonely TV season. The strike that began last November has affected many couch potatoes. Some of us may have resorted to other diversions; even discovering there is life outside TV or discovering the concept of sleep.

But fret not, TV freaks. The zombie days are back.  We’re going to start not getting enough sleep as scripted TV resumes….and just in time, too! Lost is going on a month-long hiatus next week. If not for the return of these shows, I would have nothing to excitedly anticipate weekly but just American Idol!
