"The Loop"

Yesterday my husband and I discovered a new tv show: The Loop. Although a little quirky and crass, it's quite funny, notably because there is at least one aspect of the show with which every young professional can identify.

Given its uber competitive time-slot, I seriously hope that this show does not get the boot. Sadly, this year many of the shows I like are getting cancelled. So long Love Monkey, Alias and Jake in Progress -it was fun while it lasted.

Now, I'm at the mercy of the Amazing Race, CSI, The Block and Las Vegas to name a few shows which attract my regular attention. A TV show getting my regular attention is something which I could not attest to a few years ago. During university, I got out of the habit of watching tv and thus continued that trend once I was done school.

Although I do feel a little sheepish about having 'regular shows' on my weekly roster, I do like the escapism of indulging myself in a fabricated tale or not-so-reality-show.

I cannot remember the source, but according to some tv-related research I remember reading way back when, apparently our brain activity diminishes when we watch tv. I suppose this may be a factor in why I consider tv-watching relaxing -because I'm not actively engaged in thinking.....
