TV Shows You're Hooked On
« on: April 23, 2013, 09:07:47 PM »
I didn't see any similar topics, correct me if I'm wrong....

I get most of my TV via Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, so I'm a little behind the game.  My current show addictions:

*Breaking Bad: Watching season 5 on amazon now.  Funny how characters I loved became hateable and characters I hated become lovable.
*American Horror Story: Weird but entertainingly so
*Bones: the only crime drama I can really follow without punching the TV.  CSI/L&O have too many spinoffs/characters/etc for me to follow or care.
*Kitchen Nightmares/Restaurant Impossible/Mystery Diner/Restaurant Stakeout: I have no idea why because I'm not a food person but I adore these gross restaurant shows as a guilty pleasure.  Sure I know a lot is staged, hence "guilty pleasure."

On DVD I can't be w/o my Simpsons, South Park, Daria, ALF, Fraggle Rock, and Ali G.

I shudder to think what a psychoanalyst would make of this!

Your TV fixes?

Right now my wife  :@` and I are hooked on Downton Abby. It turned out to be a surprisingly great show.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

CBS Sunday Morning, Pawn Stars-and all the associated Las Vegas based Spin offs, Antiques Roadshow (I often wonder when someone will bring me....) Love It or List It, the one in which the man shows up at a home to view a Do It Yourself project gone horribly wrong, COPS-the ones from the Reagan era make me remember how I miss Crown Victorias and Reagan and why didn't I buy several when Ford said Finis? Did I not believe them? And, here in Kansas, the weather, all channels that carry radar, absolutely imperative viewing. In the past 36 hours we've had a severe thunderstorm, hail stones larger than my, sorry, forget that, tornadoes, hard freeze warnings, a blizzard, buckets of rain that may have done something to eleviate the drought if it didn't wash out the just sprouted crops. And, of course, the hard freeze did them no good. I suppose I should watch things that are uplifting, artfully edifying but..as I'm busy translating the Rubiat into Esperanto, I'm just too busy.

Person of Interest
Survivorman and Dual Survival (both these shows have some really good ideas, I especially like the ones that take place in a         north woods-type environment).
Storage Wars

I do not watch a lot of TV, but I do like Duck Dynasty.  Otherwise, I usually just leave it on Fox News.
