Who Says TV Rots Your Brain

I’m not a teevee person, well at least I didn’t used to be.  When I do watch, it’s usually something on Food Network or Bravo.  It’s not that I have anything against tv programs, it’s just that I usually never catch a series at the beginning and it bugs the crap out of me when there is something going on in the background that I’m not aware of.

These last couple of weeks have changed all that!  I am now addicted to several new shows that aren’t new at all, they’re just new to me.  Before my surgery I picked up seasons of shows that were on sale.  I know, I have high standards right?  I’m a sucker for clearance sales.  Here’s what I ended up with:

House: I’ve loved House for a while, but I’ve only seen the re-runs on USA when I happen to flip to the channel.  While I’ve been working on project purple foot I have watched Seasons 1 & 2, and I’m hooked.  I love Gregory House, he says everything I would like to but don’t.  Plus he’s so cute!  There is something about an absolute scruffy asshole that’s a turn on.  I wouldn’t date him, but he’s fun to admire from afar.

Criminal Minds: I love Mandy Patinkin.  I watched him on Chicago Hope for years, and to this day whenever I can hear my pants when I think of him.   He will, however, always be Inigo Montoya. You kill my father.  Prepare to die.   I know he’s left the show, but I haven’t gotten to that part yet so don’t tell me!  I love me a good serial killer story, so this show is right up my alley.  What?  That doesn’t say anything about me at all.  *ahem* shuddup

The Tudors: Henry VIII has always been such a devilish scoundrel, and Jonathan Rhys Myers plays him beautifully!  Plus he’s haawwwwwtttt!  I’m working my way through Season 1 on Netflix, which I have to say kind of blows.  The watching it on Netflix part, not the show.  The show is awesome!  When I was a SAHM I was big into the historical romances, and this is one big bodice ripper.  What?  Oh don’t even pretend.  Everybody did it in the 90′s.  How do you think Fabio got famous?  The Netflix part blows because they only send you one disc at a time, so I’m only on the 2nd disc of Season 1.

I’ve still got two seasons each of Weeds and Alias to watch, but I’m anxious to get season 2 of Criminal Minds because hello!  Cliffhanger!

Also on my watch list is NCIS because I may have a tiny girl crush on Abby and I need to catch up on CSI because I’m about 3 seasons behind.  I don’t know how I’m going to have time for all this AND the Real Housewives of Atlanta, but a girl’s gotta have goals.

Oh, and Top Chef.  And Project Runway.  And whatever happened to Cathouse?

Houston, we may have a problem.
