I think I've found a corollary to Murphy's Law that applies to me when I watch my favorite television shows.
Right now, I'm addicted to "The Deadliest Catch". Don't know why. I'm not a reality show fan at all (well....except for "So You Think You Can Dance", too). A show about men sailing little floating metal cylinders into horrible weather and monstrous seas to catch the ingredients for Crab Louis facinates me. I plan my Tuesday evenings around the new show.
It never fails that someone I'm trying to reach calls just at show time. I don't regret talking to my friends and family. I love them dearly. But it sure puts a damper on my TV watching for the week. Now I have to wait until the reruns air in a few days...and hope that no one calls ...again. I do know about TiVo..but I'm not much of a TV watcher so it's never been worth the money. Oh well....
