What’s this box with pictures on?

Ladies and gents, Sarah has digital cable! One question: What do I watch?

Coming from someone who hasn’t watched more than one regular TV series since life BC (before college) I guess the phrase ‘I’m clueless here is the ultimate under-statement.

Trying to think here … the last time I took in more than two successive episodes of a single series was two summers ago and it was Star Trek, which doesn’t really count. Before that, we’re talkin’ maybe the summer reruns of 2000. I guess there’ve been a few Seventh Heaven episodes since then … and the Nanny whenever I could catch her. And the odd Jeopardy sprinkled here and there throughout because my mom’s an Alex/trivia fiend — but that was only when I was at home, it was on, and I was making an effort. I never had cable in my old apartment, and we didn’t watch TV at Maranatha (you had to go home for it on the weekend or slip out to a laundry mat to watch Idol. )

So, where from here?

I’ve got ny onto a zillion channels now. Pretty standard nowadays, right? Which one’s good and when?

Dude … there’s a book channel? Sweet!

And a beauty and fashion network?

I think I’ll naturally gravitate to the sci-fi channel because I like it as a genre. And I want to see desperate Housewives to see what’s addicted so many. I know I’d like Lost and 24 … drama-thriller stuff like that. So what else? I’d be interested in checking out a newer series or two. Any suggestions and showtimes would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
