Even with over 400 channels to flip through during my down-time, I’m still wondering what the point is for even paying for half of the ones we have. I wish you could pick and choose your plan, no one needs (or watches) half of the channels given to you with this line-up. Who seriously needs to sit back and watch a “Jewelry” channel where it’s all bobbles, all the time? It makes no sense to me.

I’ve found that I still stick to the standard channels we had before, there’s only one addition at this point. I flip between Lifetime and MPT (local channel). I also float around Comedy Central and Discovery Health quite a bit as well. I’ve added BBC America because of my love of British TV, I just wish there was more British Comedy. I’m sure that’s another channel entirely and I’m going to have to look around for it but for now I’m content with “How Clean is Your house” and “You Are What You Eat”. I have to say that while they aren’t meant to be a ‘comedy’, they certainly amuse the hell out of me.

With the rise in sales for the Christmas season, it’s no surprise that people are doing some personal shopping just to get some great deals. Sure, you’ve got grandma and numerous other family members to think about but on almost every shopping list this year there’s going to be some kind of electronic device that’s very pricey and definitely worth the money. This to many people is known as the flat screen HDTV. They come in all shapes and sizes, from countless technology companies. What most people don’t know, however, is all of the research done before the model you’re drooling over is even sent to consumers. With a market size of $15.6 billion for flat panel televisions, manufacturers and retailers are competing for a slice of the pie. Say you’re in the market for a toshiba HDTV. The first place you’re going to look is on the Internet because you can get the most information on any product without having to change out of your pajamas. So naturally going to sites like krillion.com could be a helpful resource to you. Typically users will view information online but then when it comes time to making the final decision, leading to a purchase, they’ll go to a local store with the best pricing. TV’s are just one of those purchases where you’d need to make the final evaluation in person, this way you can compare the quality in your price range and even ask some more questions to the sellers pouncing on you for their commission. There are numerous sites on the Internet that will help you to make your choice though, take Krillion.com for example. It’s a comprehensive product, pricing and location information website that helps buyers find the exact television they’re looking for and points you in the direction of retailers closest to you. It’s worth bookmarking for your next HDTV purchase.

I’m doing some poking around BestBuy.com in search for reviews on a few different televisions that Sean and I are interested in.  We know for sure that we’d like an LCD HDTV in the living room, I’ve settled upon a 32″ knowing that it’ll be more than large enough for the two of us considering the largest TV in the house at the moment is a 27″ but since that’s in the office I hardly ever get to watch it.  I have a 20″ for the bedroom and that’s staying where it is, more than likely getting one just like it for the new office and calling it a day.  The bump in the road is which TV to choose for the living room.  I know that in the end we’ll have to go there and actually look at the picture quality but at the same time, I’d like to know a little bit more about the models we’re thinking about before we walk into BestBuy.

This is borderline annoying.

I was watching TV earlier after dinner and I came across a new show on ABC starring Christina Applegate named “Samantha Who?”.  When I first saw the show I thought it was going to be kind of sucky, until I started getting into it.  The main character, Samantha, is a psychiatrist who was in an accident and now suffers from amnesia.  She’s forced to relearn everything that she was in her life and she isn’t too happy to find out who she really is.  The first epsiode can be found on ABC.com I believe, if not I’m sure there’s a trailor for it somewhere. It’s worth checking out.

I’m kind of looking forward to next week, depending on whether or not I’m anywhere near a TV of course.
