The irony of me working at a television station is I don't watch very much of it. I don't have the attention span or interest for much of television anymore. I only watch two, maybe three shows regularly and a couple of those I record and watch in fifteen minute increments while eating breakfast or dinner throughout the week.

One show I have been enjoying a lot is Heroes. I've always enjoyed super hero stories and I like the X-Men meets X-Files feel of the show. I think this show has a lot of promise and am glad it's doing well considering that most shows I enjoy are cancelled swiftly.

Last Monday, Julie came home about 15 minutes before Heroes started and gasped having realized something truly awful: Starting in January, 24 will be on at the same time as Heroes.

Nooooooooo!

It's either time to dust off the other VCR* or Heroes will have to take a hiatus and I'll catch up with it on DVD, because while I may enjoy the whole everyday super hero bent, I LOVES me some fictitious terrorism.

*Yeah...we don't have TiVo. Or cable. We kick it old skool.
