TCB Returns

Aaaaand we're back! Allie and I have returned from our respective spring breaks, a little tanner, much poorer, and ready to get back to watching lots and lots of television. We've both seen "The Wire" series finale, and I think we're both still letting it sink in. I was pleased at how it wrapped up -- for good or for evil. I was happy that the stories all had some kind of resolution and we're not sitting here today analyzing ten seconds of black screen.

Anyway, thanks again to Reed for stepping up and recapping the finale in our absence. Coming up this week on the blog: LOTS of reality coverage while we wait for real television to return next month. Dancing with the Stars starts tonight, so I'm all over that. I'm giving in and watching the American Idol final rounds, even though that show has twice ruined my life because I get so drawn into it. It's like an addictive drug for me, but I'll try to remain professionally distanced from it this year. I watched last week's Top 12 so that I would be prepped and ready to go. Thankfully, I don't think there's anyone I'll get unreasonably attached to and then cry when they get voted off. (Yes, it's happened to me before. CoughClayAikenElliottYamincough)

Allie, having finished Project Runway, will be watching Top Chef starting Wednesday. I'm so desperate for decent television that I may watch it, too. Thursday is the last new Lost episode before it goes on a five-week hiatus, and it looks to be a doozy. Of course, my attention will be split between the NCAA Tournament and regular TV over the next two weeks, but something tells me Allie won't have that problem.
