30 Days of You and Me: Day Three

Been a while since I did one of these, too! The list I found on someone's blog...says day three is favorite television program!

I really don't have time to sit and watch TV these days. My TV is almost always on when I'm home, because I like the background noise. I usually park it on the Food Network or TLC or HGTV - and sort of glance over at the shows but I don't really watch much.

Here are the shows I do like to sit and watch.

The Biggest Loser. I have had a hard time connecting with this season's contestants. I really don't know why. Maybe because I'm always doing chores while I watch this one so I haven't paid as much attention. But I do still like the show. I like watching the true people emerge as the pounds melt away. Inspiring.

Undercover Boss. It's my good-cry show every Sunday night. I love watching the bosses be humbled by the employees (is that wrong?) and I love love love watching their reward at the end. That is definitely my favorite part. When they find out they've been seen and they're finally given what they deserve.

Grey's Anatomy. Don't love this show as much as I did when it first came on the air, because some of the story lines have just gone too far. But this is a show I get to watch with Rachel (from my office) every week and I love spending that time with her. And I will admit out loud that McDreamy...still is. :)


I don't own any seasons of shows on DVD, but if I did, these would be the ones I'd get.

Little House on the Prairie. It was one of the few shows I was allowed to watch growing up and I adored it. I've probably said this on here before, and Phats is totally going to make fun of me for it, but I was such an addict in junior high and high school that I knew all the episodes (and I do mean all of them) by heart and I could tell you the title of the show after watching just the first two to three SECONDS of the show. It's true. In college, my roommates used to send me out of the room when the show came on, call me back after the title displayed, and time me to see how fast I could name the show. Instantly. And yes, I was in love with Albert. And Adam.

Dharma and Greg. I don't know why I love this show so much. It's so quirky. Do you even remember it? Jenna Elfman and Thomas Gibson? It used to play right after I came home from work and I think I've seen every episode - multiple times. I have read that in real life, Dharma and Greg did not get along well but they had amazing chemistry on set. I loved it! And I loved their parents. Great, great cast.

Mad About You. Hands down, probably my favorite sitcom ever. I loved the chemistry between Paul and Jaime, and I loved the story line. Never got boring for me. I remember the season when they finally had that baby - and I cried and cried when she was born! It used to be on TV about midnight every night and I'd watch it when I went to bed but it's been probably a couple of years now since I've seen this one!

The Cosby Show. Cliff and Clair. Who wouldn't want to be them - at least as parents? They were totally put together, even when they weren't. So much fun. Love it. Still watch it every chance I get.

Friends. I got hooked on this one right after college and watched it through to the finale (great finale, I thought) and of course I see it often in syndication. I'm such a Monica. :) Except I don't clean nearly as often. But I am that loud.

So what about you - favorite shows?

Right now it's probably
Glee and Amazing Race love both of those! Oh and I like Modern Family

You should get DVD's of your favorite shows! I have a lot of sets, and Friends is one of my ALL time favorites and I have most seasons such a classic

Project Runway. The season just ended, and the awful Gretchen won. Yuck.

I loved Crime Story when it was on, especially how stupid Paulie was: in one scene Ray Luca wants Paulie to leave the room, so he tells him to go light a match and check how much gas is in the car. The entire scene, I kept expecting to hear an explosion.

Phats - My boss LOVES Modern Family. He's trying to get me hooked on it but I keep forgetting to watch. We should have a Best of Friends fest sometime. Maybe we should play Dutch Blitz during it and you'd be so distracted, I'd be at least advanced JV.

Skyepuppy - I've never heard of Crime story. How long ago was it on? I do love crime shows - I've seen many CSI, SVU and oh...what's it called...with Thomas Gibson...but I can't watch them too close to bed...freaks me out!

Umm I don't get distracted while playing Dutch Blitz, ok sometimes I do but i quickly refocus :) But name the time you're on :)

Have you ever watched gilmore girls? I dont care how girly it makes me sound I was so hooked on that show haha

I have watched most of the first season. Marie loaned it to me. But disc five pooped out and now I can't go forward until I remember to go rent it so I can see that episode. I really liked the show.

Favorites? I loved "Little House" too. Loved "Welcome Back Kotter" as well. Used to love "Paradise" with Lee Horsley, "Magnum PI" with Mr. Selleck, and yes, "Cosby" with himself. Jericho was a good one. Then there was (of course) Heroes and Lost.

Right now I'm loving The Event (Jason Ritter!), Fringe, Outlaw (though I heard it was cancelled, darn it!), House, Bones, L&O -SVU and SVU-LA (Skeet Urlich!); and love the NCIS shows - love Linda Hunt! Then there's Sanctuary, Stargate Universe, and Caprica.

Anywho...yep, we do a lot of recording in order to watch!

Crime Story isn't the typical crime show like CSI. It was on from 1986 - 1988 and was set in the early 1960s. The blurb on imdb says, "The saga of a Chicago police detective's efforts to stop a young hood's ruthless rise in the ranks of organized crime."

Oh man! I can't believe I forgot 24! Probably because I never watched it on TV. I've only watched it from the DVDs. My roomie and I are waiting for Season 8 to be released on DVD.
