I don’t watch a ton of TV, but this Winter is already looking pretty good TV-wise (and as it’s looking to be an especially bad Winter over here on the East coast, that’s a good thing).  In case anyone is interested, here’s what I’ll be tuning in to:

• Scrubs.  Finally after a long hiatus, my favorite show is returning to the air waves starting January 3rd.
• Dirty Jobs.  New episodes start on January 10th.  Mike Rowe is my hero, and is an extremely funny guy.  From his bio:  “In cleaner days, Mike Rowe sang professionally with the Baltimore Opera.”  Huh?
• The Sopranos.  I don’t remember the exact date the new season starts, but it’s soon.  Too bad Drea de Matteo got offed last season.
• Grey’s Anatomy.  New episodes begin January 8th.  This was last year’s break out series IMO, and is very well written.
• Desperate Housewives.  Yes, I’m not afraid to mention that I do watch this show…it’s mindlessly funny.
• And finally, something I’ve been waiting 4 years for, The Winter Olympics gear up on February 10th on NBC (and broadcast in HiDef this year as well).  This is my absolute favorite event/show to watch on TV, namely due to the fact that I used to ski competitively (downhill and super-g for anyone taking notes) when I lived in New England a while back.

I will be absolutely glued to the TV during the Olympics and can’t wait for the games to begin.  Favorite event?  Super G of course!  Favorite non-skiing event?  It’s a toss up between speed skating and skeleton (which made it’s return after decades of banishment at the last Winter games).  Unlike most, I usually pass on the figure skating.
