Frankly, I can count on one hand, up until recently, how many times I've been up past 3:00 a.m. since college. While I am not a big television watcher, I've found that I need to have something going on that's mindless to keep me at least a little awake while I do the "graveyard shift" or else I'll fall asleep feeding the babies in their Boppy pillows, and that, of course would be a very bad thing.
I never knew what television programs were on at 3:00 a.m. Here are some of the gems I've found:
-Weird Documentaries: the other night I watched one about a filmmaker who made a movie about trying to land a date with Drew Barrymore. Don't get me wrong, what guy doesn't have a crush on Drew, but to make a movie about trying to get a date with the former E.T. star???????
-Reruns of Old (and more or less forgotten) Shows: Did you know that Dawson's Creek plays at 3:30 a.m. weeknights on TBS? I didn't until recently. You can also find Andy Griffin still floating around along with Dick Van Dyke. I will admit, I have gotten hooked into a few episodes of Dawson's Creek-The Golden Girls: Granted this is a quality show (and comes on at 12:30, so it technically doesn't fall into the category of "Graveyard Shift").
-Celebrity Gossip Shows: Jeni and I are not much into celebrity gossip, but my goodness are there a lot of shows for people that are. Lindsay Lohan and Brittney Spears continue to be up to no good, but, hey what else is new.
-Reruns of the Brewers game (this is the perfect solution if we win... too bad we dropped 2 out of 3 games to the Reds this weekend).
With all of these exciting inane options for tv, thank goodness we have a DVR and I can start taping episodes of Saved by the Bell. That show at least brings back a few chuckles from high school.
