With college applications completed, Christmas thank you notes out the door, and the simple fact that the second semester of our senior year has begun, I would like to act like your personal TV guide and recommend a few upcoming shows to watch in the upcoming weeks.
The Office: Hands down the funniest show I have watched on television. Quotable lines galore and a cast of characters who will not only make you cry out of laughter but cry out of love at the end of the upcoming season. Will Ferrell will also make a celebrity appearance on the last four shows of the season, which is sure to be a treat.
Outsourced: A little taste of Indian culture mixed with a large serving of American comedy. This show depicts a telemarketing company set in the place where Ashima and Ashoke call their home (well at least for most of the book). Didn't get enough Bengali culture in The Namesake? Tune in to this laugh out loud comedy Thursday nights at 10:30, or just set the DVR.
Mad Men: An extremely witty and well-written series about an advertising agency in the 1960s. You thought Clive and Vernon seemed wrapped around the aspect of money, wait until Don Draper, the agency's founder, appears before your eyes. Although slightly sophisticated... pshh we are AP English students right?
Super Bowl XLV: Finish the poetry papers early people!! This weekend, the largest watched sports event in America airs, and two mid-western, heartland of America, teams will battle for the crown of "World Champions" (which seems odd to me because not many other countries field a professional football team). The offensively gifted Green Bay Packers and the "steel curtain" defense of the Pittsburg Steelers will surely provide excellent entertainment, so do those papers!
March Madness: It's right around the corner! By far my favorite time of the year to watch sports, 65 hopeful basketball teams will be pitted against one another for the right to proclaim themselves "National Champions" (which seems much more appropriate to me). Brackets, brackets, and more brackets! Nothing would make my year more than to view a bracket filled out by Ms. Serensky and hear the reasoning behind each pick.
So with the extra free time, either read a book or watch one of these shows.
