My so-called TV life

Starting off with probably one of my favorite topics...Television. I grew up watching a lot of TV. No worries, I turned out fine. Went to college, got married and I have a job. I am what most would consider "chubby" amd you might think this relates to my love of television, however it is more related to my love of food. More about food in upcoming blogs I'm sure.

Since I'm sitting in front of the TV now, I think its only fitting that I start there. I have many shows that I love, and many others I like and I will watch. There are some I DO NOT tolerate and need to be taken off the air in my opinion. Lets start with the LOVES.

Biggest Loser
Not only entertaining, but inspiring, uplifting and motivating.


Law&Order SVU This is the only show I can watch re-runs of over and over again. Mostly because I always forget who "did it" and how the story plays out, even if I know, it's always still good. Tuesdays are a special day when USA runs basically a 12 hour marathon, I usually participate in at least a few episodes.


GLEE
Yes, I love glee. As much as I try to miss it, I always end up coming back for more.

America's Next Top Model
Still a fan, after all these years...however, I will never be a fan of Tyra Banks. I watch mostly for Miss Jay, Mister Jay and Nigel...oh Nigel.

Cupcake Wars
A new little goodie I've started watching and I can't get enough. I want to jump through the TV and eat the cupcakes.

Challenge
The always entertaining food network challenge. Building sculptures with food, who knew. It's amazing!

Next the LIKES













Lastly, a few shows I will now watch don't deserve to have a photo. I'm not going to waste my time searching for a photo.
Teen Mom- really?
16 and Pregnant- a look into teen pregnancy, no thanks, I'll pass.
Jersey Shore- I see an MTV trend.
Survivor- I'm a hater. Have been ever since Australia.

I think these are the only four shows I will not watch. Well these and anything else on MTV.

Other shows I don't really have an opinion on, I'll watch HGTV and TLC, but I feel like all the shows are the same, so why single them out? Talk shows are a league of their own, but I do enjoy Ellen and she is by far the most entertaining. Late night shows, I'm a Jay Leno fan, and I'm always up for a good host on SNL.

Of course I must mention that I USED to love Grey's Anatomy. I too met every Thursday night with my sorority sisters to gather round and watch McDreamy and McStreamy. But I'm over it, I just couldn't keep up with dark and twisty Merideth. Also, in the past I have been known to watch American Idol. I do enjoy the show, but don't have the dedication to keep up with it. I don't have time to catch up on 8 Tivo'd episodes, plus it's no fun once it's already happened!I'm not sure how I feel now that the judges have changed.  In addition, I was/am/maybe not a Bachelor/Bachelorette fan. This season though I refused to watch and have so far kept my promise to my self and my mother. I can't watch Brad Womack again. It makes me want to puke. In fact the whole show kinda makes me nauseated, so I might give that one up as well.

I think I've talked enough about TV by now and you can get to know me just a little bit better through this information. In conclusion, I hate MTV, but Food Network lights up my life. The hit it right on the head combining my two favorite things: Food and TV. Bliss and Chubbiness.

  1. I have to agree with you...most anything on the Food network is wonderful, and most anything on MTV is the lowest of the low GARBAGE. Kind of strays from the days when we'd run home after school so we wouldn't miss an episode of TRL. Haha.
