TV times...

For 3 weeks all I have done is watch TV… I had gotten out of the habit of watching television, but as you know, these days I have a lot of time and there’s a tv in my room. Here are some of my thoughts on shows I have recently come across in the land of television:

What Would Brian Boitano Make– REALLY … wow! Lets have a show name based on South Park Lyrics. Did I miss the part where he was a foodie? Today he seemed to be making food for roller derby girls. There was a lot of bacon involved. I only caught about 5 minutes of the show, but I am not sure I am going to watch it again . (who am I kidding, Food Network is my go to channel)

Jersey Shore - I finally caved, and watched it… and let me say, its almost like watching National Geographic. It is a glimpse into a culture that I am NOT a part of. Snookie is not at all like I thought she would be. She is quite likeable and actually there is something about her that reminds me of a VERY good friend of mine. I am a little concerned that “the Situation” is about 40 years old. The show won me over when Snookie and Vinnie dropped chicken in the floor and had NO idea what to do with it… when according to Mike “the Situation” what you should do is, “PICK THE SH*T UP, DAWG!!!”

Tosh.O – SHUT UP!!! My friend Lee finally explained what this show was all about and simply put… LOVE IT!

Angel- OH, MY NEW VAMPIRE BOYFRIEND… how I love you! Although as a vampire the Joss Whedon vamps are not attractive. David B. is a new celebrity crush. I love him on Bones… and now as Angel. I am revisiting Sunnydale and LA with a whole new perspective (AND Spike is there… gotta love a Billy Idol-esque vamp)

On the Road with Santino & Austin- This is my current favorite show. They have SUPER fun personalities AND they are going to crazy places and meeting fun people. The thing that I like most is these NY/LA guys are going to small town/middle of nowhere America and being SO nice. They don’t mock the people or the places. They do what the locals do and have a ball!

Dexter Season 4- SO good! Don’t want to spoil it for those who are a season behind—but so far… SO GOOD!

Bewitched- Tabitha started Nursery School on Friday… it was exciting times.

Veronica Mars- LOVE IT! COULD WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Kristin Bell is a bad ass!

The Great Food Truck Race- I really like this show! I wish Teresa was on this show! She would KICK ASS!!! The people on the food trucks are very interesting; they all have VERY different concepts. I cannot believe that people who ONLY served banana pudding and wings were surprised that they lost… ALSO… who doesn’t check their propane tank… WTF! YES, you are going to lose because you didn’t plan!

Baggage- One of the most random “game shows” I have ever seen. Yet, I get sucked into it… in some ways it reminds me of that 1992 dating show hit called “Studs”

Castle- GREAT show! Thank you for my new TV boyfriend, Nathan Fillion.

Firefly- Nathan! There you are again!!! Who would EVER think I would like space cowboys… I really wish at least one character was named Maurice
