My boyfriend called me a TV junkie about 67,000 times when he caught me watching The Good Wife. It woke him up and must have made him grumpy. I don’t like being called a junkie anything but when I list all the shows I follow the evidence is a bit damning.
FX: I had to watch all of Damages, which meant renting the first two seasons on NetFlix then trying to hog the TV every Monday night at 10. Not easy to do during the playoffs. The 3rd season has ended. I am all caught up.
HBO: Pretty much anything HBO churns out will snag me. I watched the entire first 2 seasons of The Wire and then Band of Brothers. I watch The Ricky Gervais Show, Treme, The Pacific -like I said, anything by HBO. A likes Bored to Death and the Life and Times of Tim and so do I but I suspect it is OK for him to love these shows and that because he loves them it’s not junkie-esque.
Showtime: United States of Tara and Nurse Jackie but I can wait to see them, no remote clawing necessary.
AMC: I was sucked into Breaking Bad. When Mad Men was on I cried for the remote at 10 pm sharp every Sunday.
BBC: Survivors and Dr Who. Too bad TW On Demand decided to yank Survivors after ep. 6 – made it impossible to follow – I just barely caught the season finale last night. I liked Torchwood a lot. I have grown tired of the formula of Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares but if it is on I’ll look at it.
Back to the Good Wife. It is the only non cable TV show I watch. I watch it On Demand so I can fast-forward through the commercials. Last night I had to wait until A fell asleep before the Lakers game was over but once there was official snoring from the sofa I took a break from the web design. He seemed really disillusioned that I was enjoying that show. He is very scornful of any show that resembles a Soap Opera. The reason I watch it is:
True Blood returns June 17th! Dexter in September? October? I forget! Oh TV, you wily drug.
