(5 points if you can tell me where I filched that line from)
Okay last night the Heroes episode (Chapter 17: Company Man) was so gripping that I almost choked on my food. Which set me thinking...who will come to my rescue if do indeed choke on my food??
I think this thought came to my mind because of another TV show - 30 rock, which btw, is a really smart Tv Show. Alec Baldwin is really good as a my-employees-hate-me kinda VP of NBC. Did you know that "30 Rock" is short for "30 Rockefellar Plaza" and that the NBC studio is actually situated in 30 Rockefellar Plaza? I walked past this building when I was in New York last winter. I love that phrase, "When i was in New York", makes me sound nostalgic, boho, cool and utterly straight haired.
yeah so back to why TV is my saviour. I must tell you how I got the Tv in the first place. My nutty broker, who is also my land lord, brought this unknown mallu couple home, and asked if they could take the Kitchen rack (left by the previous tenent). I don't cook at all so I just shrugged and then she goes, "You know..they're looking to sell their TV too" and before I knew it, I was calling the local cable operator at 11pm and asking them to "Come fix the cable right now!!" and you know what? they did!!. God bless the cable guys of this world. ever willing and able, they really do understand the trappings of a true TV junkie. And thats how I got in synch with the world again. I found I could keep up with conversations again, which was a relief because, I nearly freaked out when even mom started to talk about Sanjaya Malakar's exit. Avril lavigne's "So whatever?" or shakira & beyonce's "Beautiful liar"- No problem, Now I too can have an opinion on that.
Another thing that’s totally giving me a kick is my remote. No that’s MY REMOTE. Mine. mine. only mine. All my life, I’ve been amidst remote snatchers – Anna and dad. Anna didn’t let me watch a Paul Newman (Oh, I also saw Paul Newman’s house “when I was in New York”) movie once and in that moment, I vowed to get my own TV when I made enough money. What is it about guys and remotes? Its like they’re marking territory or something. Me have remote, Me Man arrgh!. So now, I can watch Prison break (God that scofield dude is so hot!) or heroes or the apprentice or frazier or friends without anyone changing the channels midway.
Yeah, so life’s good. Hey wait a minute, isn’t that the tagline for a TV brand?

@ the title: nice to see a tribute to what was my favourite movie as a kid. Feels great to be 'ten years old' all over again, right? Pity it's worth only five points...
Great to know 30 rock is in India now...caught a few episodes online and thought i was good. But I gotta disagree on the guys and remotes thingy....at least in our house it's a different story. Whenever the k serials or tam soaps are on air, my mom defends the remote like a lioness guarding her kill! Not to mention my sis who's hooked on tto desperate housewives and other poor excuses for sitcoms today...
there's this guy at NIC. looks just like Michael Scofield. well, a blonde version atleast.
Suhas: All the men in my life have dominated the remote. So lets agree to disagree there :). I still love home alone. Watched it some weeks ago and it still rocks
Nag: Really? REALLY?
wow! gud 1... gr8 to c thr r ppl like who cant jus get enuff o' d TV!
