Filed under: Will I ever learn...

It November sweeps time again and that means stunt TV, and well I'm as big a sucker for stunts as the next guy or girl as the case may be. Actually I'm almost ashamed to admit it but I've been falling for them right and left.
Sunday I caught myself watching The West Wing which aired live. Now I know that this is not the first time I've fallen for this live TV thing, it happened back in September with Will and Grace, but what you should realize is I haven't been watching The West Wing from the beginning, actually I've never watched a complete episode before, so falling for the stunt is that much worse.
The West Wing is not the only show to be doing the stunt thing this week. CSI: Miami and CSI: NY have teamed up. The lead detective (Mac Taylor) went down to Miami to help Horatio Kane catch a serial killer, then at the end of the episode we found out that the killer went back to NY so it looks like they'll be making their way to the Big Apple.
Did I watch Monday? Yes.
Will I watch Wednesday? Yes.
Do I normally watch these shows? No.
So why am I doing it? I'm a sucker.
Now we all know that NBC loves a good stunt so John Stamos will be on ER this Thursday. Will I watch? My eight ball says "All signs point to yes." I am pleased to say that I have thus far refrained from ER this season as I said I would upon the departure of Noah Wyle, so I'm trying to resist this stunt.
That's all for now see you next sweeps but possibly sooner.
