I am Outraged!!

So I turn on the tv last night at precisely 9:45, all ready to watch my all time favorite tv show Friends, after missing it all week while on vacation (which is also why I haven’t updated the blog in a while). As I finally get to sit down and relax for the first time all day, I wait patiently for the only half hour of television that has the capacity to bring joy to my dreary life. 10:00 rolls around and just as I’m about to start humming to the “I’ll be there for you” theme song…something awful happens!!! I am not met with the delightful tunes of the Rembrandts, but rather some other plunky jingle starts playing instead, and the words “Sex in the City” flash across the screen. What is this!?!?! What has happened to my dear Friends?!?!?! Surely I have the wrong channel. I pick up my remote and flip a few channels just to be sure. NOPE!! My Friends have been replaced by some girly-let’s-talk-about-sex-and-wear-pink tv show. This is not acceptable!!
I immediately pick up the phone and call my actual best friend, Kara. Who, by the way, I love because when she picks up the phone and all I say is “What is this crap?” and she knows exactly what I’m talking about because she too, was met by the same plinky-plunky theme song. She has no answers for our tragic loss.
So we hope that perhaps it was just bumped to the next time slot. So I boycott this Sex-in-the-Silliness and turn back at 10:30. Alas, Everybody Loves Raymond. Oh the despair. I must wait until 11:00 before my Friends meet me again. Oh, the anguish, misery, and gloom!!! 11:00pm??? What has happened to this world that a person can’t watch Friends until 11:00pm!!! The universe is misaligned!! The stars are askew!! My life is reduced to a Friend-less rubble.
I am outraged (along with great gnashing of teeth) that the WB could expect its devotees to completely rearrange their lives around what can only be described as a misguided programming schedule. Isn’t it enough that the show has been cancelled? Can’t you grant us the reruns at a reasonable hour?! Someone’s getting a letter, that’s all I have to say about that.

(Disclaimer …I would never exaggerate the seriousness of this situation, nor the dreariness of my actually fabulous life just for the sake of humor and comedic timing…and I have no actual aversion to Sex in the City, I’m sure it’s a very good show…I’ve never actually seen it…it’s just unfortunate enough to take the slot of my beloved Friends and therefore shall take the brunt of my wrath…)
