FROM THE TWILIGHT ZONE

to Outer Limits to Lost to Heroes.

I don't really know why my tv taste runs the gamut of these kinds of offerings. I'm not a big science fiction fan at all. Especially the hi tech stuff.

Remember loyalists, I'm not very gifted in those areas. As I've confessed, I'm on tv four or five that have PIP, which remains a mystery to me. This weekend when our daughter visited, I had to have her show me how to move a VCR tape from SP rather than SLP. So the how something works, would just be frustrating to me.

But fantasy science fiction, like Ray Bradbury's novels appealed to me. I use the past tense there because recently I read an article about a near 90 year old Bradbury and his lack of spirituality. That, like entertainers spouting their political convictions, has a way of getting me to ignore them even as they practice their art. Perhaps that's pretty little on my part. But I'm working on it.

Why the appeal? I guess it may be a lack of quality shows on tv. Most I've never watched because of the inane commercials featuring innuendos that I might have found interesting in junior high. But before any of that tasteless stuff was shown, I still didn't care for all that much tv. So go figure.

While you're at it, analyze why I like The Amazing Race, Cold Case, and really nothing else rather than sports. Because that's my viewing habits. With a little of Bill O'Reilly thrown in. Maybe I should re-title this entry: From the Twilight Zone to The No Spin Zone.
