Title: TV Shows You're Hooked On
Post by: bella 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?

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.

I've just discovered Hotel Hell on hulu.  They've only made 6 episodes as far as I can tell, but they've all made me laugh.  If it takes a special kind of someone to up and start a restaurant with no experience, it takes an EXTRA special someone to up and start a hotel.  These people are nuts.

Breaking Bad (Best current show on TV, unreal character development and plot)
The Walking Dead (I'm always game for a good zombie show.  The first two seasons were incredible.  Lately though... meh.)
Dexter (My favorite show on TV for a long time.  It's jumped the shark though and needs to end, which makes me sad.  Glad the last season is airing in the fall.)
The Wire (Finished watching the series on HBO Go last month.  This is the best show ever made.  Seriously.  Watch it now.)
The Sopranos (Also recently finished watching all of them.  Much headier and more surreal than I would have thought.  Great show.)  
True Blood (Campy as hell, but I enjoy it lol)
Sons of Anarchy (Dialogue can be kind of ridiculous, but I'm hooked on the story.)  
Parks and Recreation (Ron Swanson.  Nuff said.)

And come on guys, not one of you wrote Arrested Development?  :o  For shame!  If you have Netflix or something else that airs it, do yourself a favor and watch it.  Comedic genius.

The Walking Dead #1 for me.  -I never thought I could get hooked on a show about zombies.  It would seem that it would be  "killing zombies, killing zombies, killing zombies.. yawn, killing zombies....running form zombies, killing zombies.  (which it kinda is, but the characters make the show).

My other favorite was Prison Break, but that is long over..    :(

Breaking Bad is also a favorite. 

I also like Fast N' Loud (Gas Monkey Garage).

Doug, I should have listed this earlier... my wife and I are also hooked on Downton Abby.    She won't watch my other shows with me, but this one we watch together.  Its fair, because I don't like some of her shows either...like "Say Yes to the Dress"  or other shows like it.   >:(

We gave up our cable in Canada, but in the US I have ridiculous cable compliments of the family.  Settling work, moving, etc, I am a busy bee darting between the US and Canada.

(Has been a weird adjustment cos when in Canada, my Hulu and Netflix are limited by regional crapola).

90% of the time I have the TV on it is because I cannot work when it is quiet, and when I play music I risk getting distracted and dancing  >:D

So, usually I throw on YouTube or a show I've seen a million times on Netflix (usually Bones). 

For new viewing, I love Murdoch Mysteries (recently discovered thanks to the new TV_guy type hub) and Hot in Cleveland.

Everyone tells me I'd love Breaking Bad, but the premise sounds so depressing. I started to watch the first episode, but I didn't give it much of a chance. Maybe I should. As much as I love Walking Dead, these long mid season breaks make me lose interest. I haven't watched since it came back on, but I have them on my DVR. I'll probably binge watch when season is over.

There is something great about being able to "Binge watch" shows....lol.   That is how I started with
The Walking Dead, but I wouldn't be able to wait to watch it now.    But it sure makes watching one episode at a time and waiting for a week for the next one seem really hard.  ---man, I'm spoiled now. lol
