Ok, I love this topic. link
I love TV. I am so old that I’ve been watching my whole life. There was a few years when I was poor and Katie was little that we had no TV but just videos, but I don’t think I could ever go back. So here’s what I watch:
PBS British shows mostly. These are one of the few genres that Scott and I both enjoy. Although he is more into Dr. Who than I. We love British comedy. And, I am NOT Hyacinth.
Reality: Real Housewives – and in this order of preference: NY, NJ, LA, DC, ATL. Flipping Out, Bethenny, and most everything on Bravo.
HGTV: House Hunters Int’l, Divine Design, and some others once in a while.
Food TV: all except Iron Chef and Unwrapped. Scott likes them, but not me. My favorite chefs: Barefoot Contessa, Giada, Tyler Florence (swoon), Bobby Flay (!), and I watch a bunch of the others (they are on Sunday mornings when I am reading the paper and grading/planning).
RetroTV: Hitchcock.
Garbage: Bridezillas, Court TV, Wife Swap….Oprah, Dr. Phil – but I don’t DVR them. I really don’t, not anymore anyway.
In summer I am much worse. During school, I only catch a few things, and my latest weird things are the British show “Come Dine With Me” and old Julia Child.
I loathe: Spongebob – annoying; Network – condescending.
Another thing I don’t like is that I don’t watch a lot of the popular stuff so I can’t have those water cooler talks as I am out of the loop.
