My Favorite Things: TV Shows

These are the shows I make sure to watch within 24 hours of DVRing:

1. The Mentalist  This is my absolute favorite show, which is interesting since I only discovered it this summer. I look forward to it all week. (Which, now that I'm admitting it, is kind of depressing).


2. The Amazing Race  Josh and I watch this together on Sunday nights. It makes me happy. I never saw this show at all until we started dating, and in our first year of marriage we watched a bunch of re-runs. I began referring to this show all the time and it would make people laugh.

3. The Good Guys  Best. Intro. Ever. Most of the time I watch it on Saturday mornings while Josh is still asleep. I think more people should watch this show, but right now it's my all-by-myself tv show.

4. Community  Are you watching this? Well, you should be (because I am and I'm cool).


5. Mad Men  Only #5 because the season ended. Otherwise, it's also always and Josh and Emily Sunday Night Extravaganza show. (Maybe some day I'll sing my Mad Men song for you).


6. Psych  I love this show and I think it got even better last season. It just started again this past week. I also like to watch this show because we get the east coast feed of USA, so I can watch it when I get back from the counseling center while Josh is at Mutual.

7. Bones  This may be my last year for Bones, but I love it. I love David Boreanaz, I love Emily Deschanel (and not just because her parents named her so well), and I always look forward to watching it Friday mornings when I'm awake and Josh is still asleep (which is, obviously, when I do my most tv watching).

8. How I Met Your Mother  I started in on this show late and really didn't start watching it regularly until last season. It's starting to drag a little, but I watch it right before going to the gym on Monday nights.

Other shows I watch during the week when I have some time (mostly while I'm falling asleep-- I know you're not supposed to watch tv in bed, but Josh snores so loudly I have to have something on or else it's possible I will smother him with my pillow): Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: LA, 30 Rock, The Office, Medium, CSI, and 90210 (it filled the hole left behind when I became too disgusted with Gossip Girl). Every once in awhile I'll watch Law & Order: UK, Lie to Me, and CSI: NY, but more often than not I've deleted them to make room for other things.

I don't know what prompted me to make this list. I think I watch more tv than most people, but I also: 1. Don't have kids, 2. Multi-task like crazy, and 3. Like watching tv.
