I Don’t Care for Reruns or The News

Excuse me for this rant and rave, but geez, I need to get this off of my shoulders.

WHEN DID TELEVISION SEASONS GET SO SHORT?

Seriously, I was just getting really caught up in Grey’s and Private Practice and I get all my housework done as soon as I get home tonight so I can settle down and watch it and I quickly realize I’ve already seen Grey’s.  Then I flip to the guide to see what episode will be on Private Practice and it’s another rerun.  ICK!    I didn’t rush to et all of that done for reruns!  I want to see NEW stuff.  *sigh*

I am too lazy to change the channel though – ok, not really.  I’m too lazy to read the guide and find something else to watch so I just let them play waiting on the 10:00 news.  And now I realize that I may just have to ban the news.  It’s just plain depressing. Did you know we are in a recession, and practically everyone is hurting?  If I hear that one more time, I’m going to scream.  As soon as that started, I flipped over to another station to watch their news and was happy to see that they were at least focusing on ways to cope with the economy. They had a special  on where they were working with a FAFSA office to help east Texans fill out the FAFSA and then discussed credit counseling through places like Care One Credit.  In these times it is especially important to practice debt management. I know I’m applying extra to all of my debt right now in hopes of becoming debt free.

I still am not happy about seeing so much dang bad news and especially news about the economy but at least the second station was focusing on how to make a bad situation good instead of just bad numbers, bad numbers, bad numbers. UGH

So are the seasons really already ending? Or was this just a bad week? Are you sick of bad news followed with a little bad news?  We need to start a good news only news station.
