TV confessional - don't touch that dial
TV is one of the many pervasive addictions in my life. I've already cited LOST, ER, and Desperate Housewives as my top choices. (Did you SEE the LOST promo during the Superbowl? With abject apologies to Robert Palmer... I might as well face it, I'm ADDICTED to LOST! That spot was awesome.) (Another superbowl commercial tangent, l.o.v.ed. the "Priceless" MasterCard MacGyver spot. My husband asserted that it was not really the same actor as from the original TV series, to which I responded, "are you sure? 'cause that really did look just like him!" But he seemed certain. However, googling today yielded that I WAS RIGHT, it WAS Richard Dean Anderson in all his super-handy-too-cool-for-school glory! Proof and more goodies at http://priceless.com/film/worldpremiere.html).
My newest guilty pleasure? Grey's Anatomy. I overheard a couple of coworkers discussing this show, and thought I'd give it a try, seeing as it's on right after Dire HausFraus. Now I'm hooked. Can I sadly tell you that I'm actually excited that Season One will be released on DVD tomorrow. Even though it's only a partial season, like 9 eps maybe. L.O.S.E.R. That's me. I have yet to try http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/ for recaps of GA, only because, if they are there, I'll waste HOURS reading them all. I love that site. Great for catching up on plot lines when you miss an episode.
I used to LOVE to watch Law & Order reruns, but I got burned out on them around the time I was pregnant, too much murder and darkness for my hormone-riddled self. I also enjoyed forensic type shows, from CSI to the real stuff on Court TV and the History channel. But I had to stop watching them when I started having night terrors about coming home to find my husband bleeding a corpse in the bathtub or about digging up bodies in our backyard. My mind hangs onto that stuff, for some reason. I also had to give up horror films, which I used to LOVE in my teens and twenties, same reason, outta control sitting-up-in-bed-and-screaming-in-my-sleep night terrors.
And I must confess to occasionally watching what I like to call "filler" TV. You know, when there's really nothing on, but you flip through all the channels and land on something that you normally wouldn't go out of your way to watch, but since there's nothing else on... My filler shows include things like: reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond, miscellaneous room redesign shows on TLC or STYLE or HGTV, and old 80's brat pack movies that I've seen a gazillion times. Will you admit to any "filler" TV shows?

Grey's Anatomy was my post-pregnancy treat. It started right after I had Sydney and I was hooked after episode one. Patrick Dempsey has never looked hotter to me, and I loved him in "Can't Buy Me Love", I think that was the movie when he was the geeky lawn boy. HOTTIE!!!
Filler shows, Everybody Loves Raymond will always be one of my top 10 faves. I guess this was the first family comedy I could relate too, like our parents and the Cosby Show or something like that. I will stop at a CSI on Spike TV, old James Bond with Roger Moore and Sean Connery only....
I love my Tivo, without it I would not be able to keep up with my GA!
