tune in...

As much as I am trying to be a model of health and change my life to be more wholesome and enriching... I just love me some TV. And, its not even that I like what the critics would call "good TV". I like a lot of CRAP and a lot of random "stuff".

So what's grabbed my attention lately...

How I Met Your Mother - if you are a twenty or young thirty something, you must start watching this show. It is the Friends of our generation... legen...wait for it, wait for it... dary. And despite being totally into each episode's plot, I am DYING to know how Ted met the Mother... but then the show would be over.

Greys Anatomy - I have watched this show since Season 1... and, I used to be obsessed with it. Now? Not so much. I think the characters have been over developed and many have actually become quite annoying. I still watch and am pushing for Meredith and McDreamy to end up together but then... what would the suspense be? George and Izzy? Gag!

Boston Legal - Denny Crane. I've watched this show intermittently since it first aired but I've recently fallen in love with it. The cast alone is worth the watch (James Spader, William Shatner, Candice Bergen, John Larroquette) but the way the writers poignantly inject current affairs into the script is absolutely *brilliant* (if you watch, you understand). And, James Spader? I never knew he was such a fabulous actor? I think I have a slight crush on him. And then there is Christian Clemenson whose character is just utterly adorable.

New Adventures of Old Christine - I must say that I am a tad bit jealous that whats her name... what IS her name... it reminds me of a dog... she was Elaine on Seinfeld JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS (thanks Google) looks more stunning at 47 than she did while on Seinfeld (over 10 years ago). She has a 6 pack for crying out loud! But, aside from being slightly obsessed with JLD, the show is actually quite funny and relatable.

American Idol - Despite the fact that this season has blown chunks been my least favorite of all seasons, I am still committed to watching. With David Archahpoopa still in the running, I am REALLY pushing for David Cook to win. DC not my favorite; DA NOT Idolable. Oh and Sayeesha... my estimation is that she'll be gone this week. And, I am still bitter about Carly and Michael Johns being ousted.

Little People Big World - This is a reality program on TLC about a family of 6 in Oregon, the Roloffs. The mom and dad (Amy and Matt) are little people, as in dwarfs. They have 4 children - 3 "average sized" (who actually appear to be quite tall) and 1 little person. Anyway - while I will admit that I started watching the show out of sheer fascination, I am now completely in love with the Roloff family. They have created an amazing life on a gorgeous farm and it is SO inspiring to watch their story as Kevin and I venture into adult life and consider family making.

The Hills - Laugh. Call me names. Make fun. Go ahead. I simply do not care. This show entertains the heck outta me. Though, I rarely get to watch an episode (Kevin cannot stomach) so when the opportunity arises, I generally am watching a marathon of it... such as this past week when Kevin retired to bed very early and I was not tired yet. I stayed up long enough to watch 4 full episodes... which, with DVR, took like 20 minutes total because MTV has so many gotdamn commercials that there are about 4 minutes of actual show time. ANYWAY - this is the show I turn to when I want to turn off my brain or numb my senses for a while. (I am SO over Heidi and Spencer. They pretty much need to disappear and stop trying so dang hard!)

Jeopardy - It's educational, what can I say? And Kevin and I are super competitive and like to challenge each other... and I tend to win (and by win, I mean, I have correctly guessed answered about 10 answers out of the dozens) so naturally, I go back for more bragging rights.

And there you have it. The good, the bad, and the necessary evils.
