Now that it's getting warmer out, I find myself watching less and less tv. I'd rather be otuside enjoying that long lasting sunlight!

When I do watch tv, my guilty pleasures consist of:

Bold and the Beautiful
Impractical Jokers
Storage Wars (Texas or regular)
Swamp people
16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom
Hoarders
Biggest Loser

On occasion, I will catch a Law & Order SVU episode. I'm more of a movie guru though. Our movie collection is unbelievable. We watch for entertainment purposes, educational purposes and my husband and I tend to disect movies...which is good and bad in a sense. ALL horror movies in my opinion are rediculous. They are highly predictable. If they make me jump, they might be worth an extra star but that seldomly happens.

Here's my list:

CSI's except Miami. The blonde's voice bugs the poop outta me!
NCIS:LA Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J. What else do I need to say??
Mentalist
Alcatraz.

We don't have satellite anymore, but thanks to netflix and amazon, we are all caught up on Sons of Anarchy. When we did have satellite, I watched Real Housewives of OC. I am mad that hulu doesn't have the full episodes anymore.
I don't care much for the current sitcoms, other than Big Bang Theory. My 3yo can sing 'Soft Kitty' perfectly.

RuPaul! I adore her! Can't get enough Drag Race. Seriously. Love me a drag queen!

My DVR has been working overtime this year, there are so many good shows on. I didn't even have cable for a few years until we got it back this summer with all the hype about this season of shows. I don't ever watch live tv because I can't stand commercials and I always wait until kids (mine or otherwise) are asleep so I'm not disturbed.

My faves are:

Tabatha Takes Over
RuPaul's Drag Race
Grey's Anatomy
Desperate Housewives (sniff...)
Glee
True Blood
Weeds
Once Upon a Time
The Big Bang Theory
Mad Men (woot!)
TMZ-but only the hour-long show that happens on Saturdays
Up all Night
30 Rock
Raising Hope
Modern Family
Hoarders


Wow....I feel kinda pathetic now! Oh well. It's my way of relaxing. I don't go out a lot, don't feel the need to during the week. And after our kids are in bed, it's what my husband and I do together before we go to sleep.

And I will say that darn "Pop-Up video" had a Jersey Shore edition on one night and I was morbidly curious. Darn it! Now I've been sucked in! So crazy but I can't look away!

Big Bang Theory (My oldest is very much like Sheldon)

America's Next Top Model (I really don't know why I'm addicted to it - I guess I just like to guess who it will be. I was really happy 2 years ago when Ann Ward won.) It's kind of like TV junk food to me.

Diners Drive Ins and Dives

Chopped

Pretty much anything else on the Food Network - I like most of it.

I'm also in the DVR club..don't know what I would do without it. Some of my favorites are:

Two Broke Girls
The Middle
Suburgatory
Modern Family
Ax Men (more-so hubby's but we watch it together)
Desperate Housewives (has been the cause of using a box of tissues )
Dancing with the Stars
Dance Moms
19 Kids and Counting
Teen Mom
How I met Your Mother
Grey's Anatomy

Yea..that about sums it up!
I generally can get most of my cleaning done in the time between lunch and nap time or I'll save it for the end of the day. I have a bad back so I try to make myself relax for at least 30-60 minutes during nap time to catch up on shows or homework and ice my back before the kiddos wake up.

I love me some Leland too! I lived in Hawaii when the show first started. I was down in Waikiki and we walked by D'Kine Bail Bonds. Leland and The Dog were outside. Leland is even better looking in person! They are really tall!

My husband got a little jealous I think. He threatened to grow a mullet!

I love the shows where he boxes. He's so manly and mus-cul-ta-cious

I always cross my fingers that he will have to duke it out with a criminal.. get pepper spray on him... so he HAS to take his shirt off.

Seriously he is very athletic and you know he has to work to keep that up. I liked Young Blood too but NOT in the creepy old fat woman way I like Leland.

*right hand raised* My name is Mrs. B and I am a TV addict!

With that said, I get pretty bored of most shows after a season or two. I'm always having to delete something on my DVR because it is almost full.

My husband absolutely cracked up laughing at me because I had a piece of paper of the new fall lineup with all the shows and what nights they were on.

I am also not a fan of commercials and dont want live tv. Unless 2 things are recording on the DVR and I need to watch something else upstairs. LOL.

The shows that are on my can't miss list are

Smash
Greys Anatomy
True Blood
Parenthood
Teen Mom/16 & Pregnant
GCB
American Idol
The Mentalist
Revenge
So You Think You Can Dance
Holmes on Homes (Oh my that man is nice to look at, and the accent! HEAVEN)
Army Wives
anything NASCAR! Instead of background music or CNN I usually have the SPEED channel on. I can't help it though, I come from a racing family so I have been told I have motor oil in my blood.

So I watched the two new episodes and of course laughed until my belly hurt but do you not feel like they totally give "Q" the owrst things to say or do....like the whole focus group thing with "White baby/Black Jackie"? I felt really bad for him...(although I was laughing at the same time! )

I also thought it was so wrong of them to get Murr to say the shark thing to the guy who had just gotten out of the water....that was so bad....

I did however, LOVE the "Between the Sheets" scenes!! I was amazed at how many people actually spooned with the guys.....LOL!!! Especially Murr and that one gal who climbed under the covers with him! Hilarious!!
