TV is Good

I am a TV addict. I am also a creature of habit. I have a hard time finding time for new shows and, oddly enough, I seem to have the kiss of death once it comes to these new shows. Some recent shows I have absolutely loved and then lost....Reaper, The Black Donnelly's, Commander and Chief, Woman's Murder Club, Shark, Bionic Woman, The Unusuals, Journeyman, Dirty Sexy Money....and the one that broke my heart...Life on Mars.
So it is with a great deal of panic that I ask...no beg, you to find time to invest in these next 2 shows. "Mercy" makes me laugh, cry, and think. 3 shows into the season and I am already heavily invested in the characters. So flawed and human. Nothing glossy here...super gritty and caring at the same time....here is the show breakdown (cut and pasted from about.com) 'Mercy' Synopsis: Returning from a from a harrowing tour in Iraq, Nurse Veronica Callahan is returning to Mercy Hospital, where she quickly realizes that her medical knowledge greatly surpasses that of her colleagues and residents combined. Mercy follows the sometimes crazy lives, loves and losses of the staff at the acclaimed Mercy Hospital. Imagine Grey's Anatomy told through the eyes of the nursing staff -- oh the stories they could tell!
And The Good Wife....believe me when I say I am not a huge fan of actress Julianna Margulies, but this show is damn good.'The Good Wife' Synopsis: After being publicly humiliated by her husband's sexual and political scandal, Alicia Florrick tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life by returning to her former career as a defense attorney. She lands a position as a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, but soon learns that she will have to battle with other 20-something recruits to land the one and only full-time associate position. Is there life after humiliation? Alicia Florrick is determined to get past her past and make it on her own.
So do a gal a favor, watch these shows before the mindless drones that program our TVs shove another All About Jim or Big Brother in our face...because I can guarantee you that if I like it, it'll be gone before Halloween. See above.
