Silly, right? Now, you know I like murder and mayhem as much as the next person, but I am really tired of violence, bad language and gratuitous sex. I think that's why I like to read - my imagination controls the decency rating of the images elicited by the words on the page. Make sense? No reality television for me, either. I don't see the sense in rewarding people for behaving badly on camera. Since I don't have cable, I watch what programs or movies I want to see online on on DVD. I like the TNT shows like Memphis Beat, Rizzoli & Isles and Leverage - and I am disappointed that CBS cancelled CHAOS - I loved that silly show. Anyhow, I've gone retro for the past week or so, watching the first season of Scarecrow and Mrs. King - very eighties - and I am sure that there are lots of kids out there who have never even heard of it! I loved this show the first time around (fortunately I don't remember much of the story) and I still enjoy it: there's murder and mayhem but you don't have to see the blood and guts, there's mystery plots and intrigue galore, there's comic relief and there's even some sexual tension - but instead of wondering when they'll hop into bed, we're just wondering when Lee will finally kiss Amanda. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I am not ashamed to admit that I like wholesome television. Maybe it's having been raised on Andy Griffith and Petticoat Junction. Or maybe I'm just boring. But I am still wondering when Lee will finally kiss Amanda. On to season two...
