If it weren't for Grey's Anatomy, I'd boycott ABC altogether.<BR/>As far as suspending reality goes, so long as it's not about something I know a fair bit about, I'm okay. I was okay with Twister, I didn't care if it was an accurate portrayal. It kept me watching, I was interested.

Or not realizing it's 2am and I'd been reading for well over 5 hours (this one happens a lot!).<BR/>Sure hope LOST is intriguing enough to make me want to stay home on Wed nights this season!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
