Too Attached to TV

OK, I love movies and I like to watch TV but I'm kinda selective about what I watch. Today I discovered that I was waaaayyyy to attached to some of the TV shows I have been watching.

A couple of weeks ago I watched what I thought was the very last show of "7th Heaven." (yes, I watch that - what can I say, I watched "The Waltons," "Little House on the Prarie" and "Eight is Enough" too. I guess being an only child, they were the family I didn't have.) I cried - but not as much as I thought I would. Come to find out - "7th Heaven" will be back on the new CW network -Hooray, Hooray, let's have some wine!

Today, I watched, what I thought was the season finale of "Everwood" but found out, as it was coming on, that it was the FINAL show of "Everwood." Damn the WB/CW!

So, I watched the entire two hours (thank goodness it was recorded so I could skip the commercials) and bawled like a baby! I cried because of the storylines (at least they were given the chance to wrap everything up) and I cried because I was so freakin' attached to the show and the characters.

So you would think after such a good cry I would be fine... Oh no, then I go and watch the story of Audrey Hepburn ... OMIGOD - cried through that. Now I'm going to have some ice cream and go to bed and watch reruns of "The Deadliest Catch" - because, in my next life, I will be one of the deckhands on a fishing boat in Alaska!

Looking forward to the summer shows like "The 4400," and "The Closer" -- they don't make me cry (usually) - stay tuned!
