Viewing Habits

I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but somehow I seem to have become a Channel 7 viewer.

It's funny how things change. A few years ago I was definitely part of the Channel 10 viewing public: Rove, Australian Idol, Big Brother, heck, I watched all the way through that appalling X-Factor.

Now things have changed, and 3 of my 5 favourite programmes are on 7: Desperate Housewives, Prison Break and (small voice) Dancing with the Stars. (For what it's worth, the other 2 are Spicks and Specks on Channel 2 and Shameless on SBS).

Incidentially, I find it interesting that two of these shows (Housewives and Shameless) although "comedies" have both become much darker in their second series. The most recent episode of both of them ended, literally, in tears with one of the main characters (Susan and Fiona, respectively) bawling their eyes out as the love of their life leaves. In series one, we would have been sure that Susan and Mike and Fiona and Steve would get back together. Now we are not so sure. I think both shows are the better for it.
