Why is it that during the school year when I have no time there is so much good TV? So much so, that I find myself having to pick between shows that are on at the same time (obviously I DVR the other to watch after- it’s not like I actually have work to do or anything…). Yet in the summer when I have more time than I know what to do with, I am stuck with reruns and bad reality shows?

I have spent the past two weeks pondering the meaning of life (still no answer, but I’ll keep you posted) and trying to find something productive to do (yet somehow, I always end up on Facebook). But ultimately, I seem to always find myself parked on the couch night after night wasting away while watching these awful, absolutely abominable reality shows (I mean really, The Next Best Thing? America’s Got Talent? C’mon now. Sharon Osborne, I liked you when The Osborne’s first aired on MTV. But since then, well, you’ve been trying too hard to stretch your fifteen minutes of fame).

Sadly I continue to watch, all the while, wondering why I’m watching - because they are just sooo awful.

Well thank goodness for ABC! Wednesday just made my weeks a whole lot better. I finally have something to look forward to (wow, do I sound pathetic or what).

If you aren’t watching Traveler yet, start now. First, it’s an hour of great eye candy. Remember Ryan Atwood’s creepy, yet super sexy brother Trey from The OC? Well Logan Marshall Green is back. And this time around he is still sexy but a lot more likeable.

Not to metion, this drama is a breath of fresh air compared to everything else on television right now. This show will have you on the edge of your chair/couch/bed for the entire hour. Three best friends, Jay (Matthew Bomer), Tyler (Logan Marshall Green) and Will (Aaron Stanford) set out on a road trip. What is supposed to be an innocent prank in one of NYC’s historical art museums ends in an explosion. Will is nowhere to be found and the FBI is claiming Jay and Tyler as the domestic terrorists behind the bombing.

And this is just the beginning, as the story unfolds, Jay and Tyler realize their best friend was behind the entire thing — framing them and leaving no trace of himself behind, leaving them no choice but to run.

Ahh, friendship. This show proves you never really know your friends. BUT since I am back at home sans pals (unlike myself, they all seem to have exciting things to do and lives to lead), I do know that my new best friend, is ABC on Wednesday nights. Thank you, buddy ‘ol pal for giving me something to look forward to.

Traveler is on Wednesday nights on ABC at 10/9 Central. You can catch up on the first three episodes here. Watch it. I mean please, what else do you really have to do?!
