TV

I have to admit it. I like TV. A LOT.

Since we got our DVR, I like it even more! I can watch all kinds of shows that I never got to watch before. For example, Gene Simmons' Family Jewels. Ok, I know, it sounds ridiculous. But, give it a try! It is simply hysterical. The man is a riot. He seems like a pompous ass. He truly does. But his family is so funny. And Gene is a huge dork. He gets himself into the most insane situations. And, he wears footie pajamas. I kid you not. Big, red, fuzzy footie pajamas. The Demon, in footie pajamas. If for no other reason, watch it for that. It's something else.

I also love reality shows. All kinds of them. America's Next Top Model? LOVE IT. We watch that one a lot. So much, in fact, that at the end of last year, during Kindergarten Graduation, when all the little kids got up to say what they wanted to be when they grew up (most said doctor, teacher, ballerina, etc.) Madelyn said a Fashion Model! So cute. She even did a "Tyra Strut" back to her seat. Really really funny. I have the picture of that.

We also watch the Biggest Loser. I am both inspired when I watch it... as well as hungry! For some reason I always want to eat when I watch that show... hmmm. The Food Network also has some great reality shows, like Amazing Wedding Cakes and Chopped. We like Top Chef too. What is funny about the Food Network and cooking shows is that, I HATE COOKING. So, I'm not sure why I like those shows.

For dramas, I like Grey's, Private Practice, House, FlashForward, Mercy. I love Glee. That's my new fav. So fun. I also am really liking the sit com, Modern Family. Some of the lines on that show are so funny that I have to pause for laughter, rewind to hear it again, then continue.

Without DVR, watching all these shows would never be possible! But now, I can record them and watch them on my days off, when no one else is home. Thank goodness for DVR and public school!!

And, for a TV freak like me, I just got the all time greatest gift in the mail... an invitation to be a Neilsen family! Yahoo! Once when I was young, my parents got one too. For a whole week I wrote in the journal what we all watched. Although, it was very simple then. One TV, 3 channels. Well, 4 if you count PBS. I'm not sure how I'll do it this time. But the "pay" has increased. When I did it 20 years ago, they gave you $1. Now it's up to $5. But I have 3 TVs, a DVR, and cable! Oh My. I can't wait!! I am sure that they will take my suggestions to heart, and all of my favorite shows will live to see another season. LONG LIVE GLEE!!
