Feeling a little better than before...so, how bout some idiot box chat?Submitted by Resolution on Mon, 06/23/2008 - 4:05am.
And by idiot box I mean "TV". I've been back into "Weeds", because I can't get enough. Catching onto "Dexter" pretty quickly..."NCIS" reruns, "So You Think You Can Dance", "SuperNanny" and "Wife Swap". I feel like a dork loving TV so much right now, but you gotta remember I'm on bedrest...so I'm stuck with books, TV, and chillin'...and of course, hipmama... So, for those that do watch some TV...whatcha watching? Followed closely by Lost. I finished all five seasons of Alias while I was in school these last 9 months, and that was great too. "Fundamentally the markswoman aims at herself" DT Suzuki I love Buffy, one of the few shows I can watch over & over. Me too! I try to go through all seven seasons once a year, Angle, too. I love those shows. Esp. Buffy. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) Lost--I'm so sad that season four is so far away "I'm drowning and monkeys dressed as lifeguards are throwing me anvils" Oh, i forgot about hero's - love that show, too. damn. i likes me a lotta tv. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) weeds. gah, best show on television. and i'm not ashamed to admit i'm counting down the minutes until tonight's episode. 30 days. so glad it's back on. missed last week, but that coal miner episode is still rattling through my brain. bill moyers. he's my old standby, and my secret love. Oh, oh, I forgot, The Riches!!! Does anyone else watch this? The last season is over, so it's not on right now. But I love it, I love Minnie Driver in it, I'm not a huge fan normally, but I love her in that. And Eddie Izzard, I don't know why I have a crush on him, but I do. Anyways, love that show. The premise is out there, the bad logic of it drives my husband crazy. But I got over that fast. BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness I got it from netflix and it won't play on the playstation. We need to get a grownup dvd player anyway I guess. so I mostly watch shows online or on N*tflix. Here's what I'm zoning out on these days: We just finished the final season (downloaded on the DL). We try to make everyone watch this show, but nobody listens...why won't people listen!?!?! Best. show. ever. My DH fell in love with Obama when he heard that Obama loves Omar. FINALLY another fan of The Wire!! Honestly, because we only have basic cable, I only learned about it six months ago when Terri Gross went off about how great it was on Fresh Air. Then I started hearing about it everywhere and forced my husband to sit down and watch it. Now he's a bigger fan than I am and wants to make out with half the characters. Awww, he bugs you? I think he's kinda cute BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness I can see that. Like when he goes into the whole "I'm the head of the household, that's why!" thing, that's annoying. But of course that just goes hand in hand with the whole religion thing. And the women do what they want anyways, so it's more amusing than anything! BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness we dont have a tv but i watch shows online these days. it is so awesome to be able to watch on my schedule (not the tv execs schedules) and without commercials. i watch when i breastfeed, and with a newborn, that seems to be a lot. and what do i watch? americas next top model... i frickin love it,its true i watched all of lost over the winter Corner Gas is also a new favorite. It's a Canadian series but it's just like the small town I grew up in and it's pretty funny. I become insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. - Edgar Allan Poe My faves are BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness OH yeah, I like 30 days, too. The new season is starting (or recently has started)! Also, Big Love is on my list of "Love To Watch." All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) The guy who did "Supersize Me", Morgan Spurlock, he has a show on FX. Basically, either he or another person goes and lives a completely different life for 30 straight days. Like, the first episode of this season he went and lived with a family of coal miners and worked in the mines for 30 days. The last episode was really good, a southern hunter went and lived with a family of vegans who also work with PETA. Basically, just getting out of your comfort zone and seeing what someone else's life is really like. Good stuff. Can't remember which night it comes on, we Tivo everything so I never keep up with it! Rent the first season, really good. BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness Currently watching, Lost, on-line. Just finished season 3 of, Weeds! I like Weeds, but it pisses me off at the same time. Her mothering! Gah! I was into Top Chef but now they are in between seasons. And I'm a faithful watcher of Bones and Hell's Kitchen. I also like Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares and Tony Boirdan's (sp): No Reservations. I just started watching the new show, Swingtown, and am liking that. Of-course, TV watching wouldn't be the same without, The Office! Love that show. So, right now, I'm only watching: Lost, Hell's Kitchen, and Swingtown. I'm glad to know someone else is a little put off by the parenting techniques on Weeds. I thought for a minute that I was being a bit of an uber-stickler about proper parenting skills. Still like the show though. I've never watched it before, but I ran across it on the internet the other day and I have already watched the first 2 seasons and now I'm on the 3rd. Should be caught up tomorrow! I become insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. - Edgar Allan Poe |
with TV shows and haven't really been into anything (or had the consitant time to watch anything). I did decide to get back into an older show or two. I just recently went to the library and checked out Northern Exposure. Going to start that from the beginning and am considering doing the same with the X Files too.
