How much TV do you watch?

This post was something fun I was thinking of doing for a while and though it doesn’t focus on writing/reading, it does relate to it. 

I was wondering this myself recently as I realized that with work, shopping and the everyday things that encompass my time and the amount of reading and writing that I get done every day, I have little to no time at all for TV!

I am going to go over what I happen to actually take the time to watch on a weekly basis and share my opinions on them. Other than the occasional Discovery channel on in the background or even a Phillies game, I can sometimes watch a bit of ‘Criminal Minds’. That being said, there are several programs that I DVR and watch in blocks when I have time, but all in all, I probably watch less than 6 hours a week! I do enjoy the USA lineup for the most part with ‘Burn Notice’, ‘Royal Pains’ and my new favorite: ‘Suits’!

Then there are some of the comedies I enjoy: ‘30 Rock’—and I have to say that Tina Fey is not only a brilliant writer, but she is what I like to call ‘sneaky’ sexy. I watch ‘The Office’, ‘Parks and Recreation’ (See link below - Ron Swanson is da’ man!) and ‘Community’ (which some episodes may become ‘must watch’ as in the Dungeons and Dragons episodes and the paint ball, too). Other than that, it’s Modern Family, with the brilliant Christopher Lloyd involved in the creation.

I also enjoyed ‘Men of a Certain Age’ very much, so of course they cancelled it as most people seem to enjoy reality TV (yuck) which puts writers out of jobs…so stop watching it! (J/K, watch whatever you want!) Speaking of cancelled, ‘Arrested Development’ was my all time favorite comedy on TV. Unfortunately, I missed the boat when it was on and am sorry I did, but at least we have the two and ½ seasons to watch on DVD! Oh, and I am one of the guys who WANTS TO SEE THE MOVIE, TOO! Now that’s out of my system, let’s move on.

I also very much enjoy ‘Parenthood’, a compelling drama about a family and their siblings/parents who are trying to raise their own families. Probably one of the better shows on TV when it comes to writing. And normally, I don’t watch a drama, but this one is good in my humble opinion!

I watched some of the Starz original series, Spartacus, as well as what could be my all-time favorite mini-series: Game of Thrones on HBO! I am sure that there are tons more shows that are out there and my friends tell me all the time: “you gotta’ watch this” or “you gotta’ watch that!” Quite frankly, I might need to drop a few! But seriously, I know there are more shows out there that I would love to watch—I just don’t have the time is all.

So it begs the question: How much TV and what shows do you watch? Share your thoughts here with me!

See you in Wothlondia! Cheers!
