Confessions of the Television Kind

I don't really like to talk about TV on my blog because, my goodness, people are opinionated about TV. So let me begin this post by saying that I'm sure you'll disagree with some of my TV choices, and that's okay. But I'm always curious what other people watch...so here are some of my faves/must-have/can't-stand-but-watch-anyway choices.

* 19 Kids and Counting. I've been watching the Duggars since the days when they were just the occasional TLC special, living in the 3 bedroom ranch house with a dozen (plus) kids. Do I want 19 kids? Not on your life! (Probably mathematically impossible for me now anyway.) But even though such a life would make me ever so tired, I think they do a great job with their kids and I appreciate their firm stand to their convictions, even if I don't agree with all their convictions.

* Sister Wives. Okay so maybe I watch this one for the polar opposite reasons! Actually I mostly watch this because Kody looks like David Phelps. SERIOUSLY! Look them up. Could be twins. I don't (of course) agree with the polygamist lifestyle, but the show fascinates the hooey out of me and I can't help but watch.

* House Hunters. I'm driven by the need to guess which house they'll pick. Not only do I have to pick it, I have to pick why they'll choose it. I love it when I'm right on both counts. And I'm just a house-nosey kind of person so I love peeking into all the homes. I was that way even before I became a house hunter. This show has also taught me what NOT to say as I'm walking through homes, though I'm not being followed by a camera crew, so it really doesn't matter.


* The Voice. Why do I watch that? Blake Shelton, of course! I watched most of it last year just because I liked the concept. This year someone I've actually heard of is auditioning (his audition aired last night) so I'm really excited to see how far he makes it!

* My Fair Wedding. I love David Tutera and if I ever get married, my secret wish would be for him to be my wedding coordinator. I'm always fascinated at what he can manage to do with the ideas the brides have. (Some of which are good and some are total train wrecks. And yet he makes both turn out amazingly well!)

* Dharma and Greg. A golden oldie that airs here on the TV Guide channel, so I catch it when I can. I love those two! It's one of the few sitcoms I could watch over and over and over...quoting right alongside them...and never get tired of it.

* Friends. Ditto above. I watch this every single night as I'm falling asleep.

* When I'm NOT going to be falling asleep, I like to catch reruns of Law and Order, SVU (love the team on that one more than the other Law and Order shows)...

...or Criminal Minds (which is Greg of Dharma and Greg reincarnated from lawyer to crime-solver). I cannot watch them before I go to sleep or I WILL have nightmares. * photo from epguides.com *
* New shows I like to catch when I can are Price this Place, which is a "game show" on HGTV where people can win money for accurately guessing things they SHOULD know from being a House Hunters addict...and My 600 Pound Life. Fascinating.

I do feel the need to say that other than Friends, I do not just sit and watch any of these shows. I watch while doing other activities. I'm not a couch potato, you know. Though I do like couches. And potatoes.

Do we have any of the same faves?
