Want to escape from real world problems? Don't watch primetime TV!
Escapism seems to be a thing of the past in this fall TV season. As Matthew Gilbert points out, "If you’re heading to the land of nighttime drama and comedy to be succored by happy endings and secure social roles, you’re trying to get milk from a stone. Best go spend a few hours cruising YouTube for cat videos. A superficial scan of fall 2009 titles – 'Trauma,' 'The Forgotten,' 'Bored to Death,' 'The Good Wife,' the ironically named 'The Beautiful Life: TBL' – suggests as much. And the series’ themes, from sleeper-cell aliens and post-traumatic stress to inadequate doctors, aren’t quite the stuff of lullabies."

The athletic event of greatest interest to the G4 man is a ninja warrior obstacle course."
