I have said on more than one occasion how I love to be in my jammies by about 6:30 p.m. (if not sooner) cuddled up on the couch watching television, with whoever will watch my shows with me. Here is a list of the shows that I watch, and in parentheses are the poor suckers in my family I have hooked into watching them with me.
The Young and the Restless (Kyndal)
The Bachelor/Bachelorette (Kyndal, Rick and Dawson)
The Biggest Loser (Kyndal, Rick and Dawson, and even Brynne and Eli at the weigh-ins)
American Idol (Mostly Dawson, and a little Rick and Kyndal)
Lie to Me (Rick, but he really got me hooked on it)
Glee (Dawson and we hooked Rick hard!)
America's Next Top Model (Sometimes Kyndal and even Dawson at times)
Survivor (Rick and sometimes Kyndal)
Project Runway (Rick, although he doesn't want to admit it)
Flashforward (Rick)
The Amazing Race (Dawson, Rick and sometimes Kyndal)
So You Think You Can Dance (Kyndal and sometimes Dawson)
The Good Wife (This one is all mine)
And these are just the shows I'm obsessed with!
(Yes, we greatly exceed the "one hour of television per week" rule of many households!!)
But, I now have a favorite, I think. And, I am declaring that after only one episode.
You remember the movie from the '80s, Parenthood.
It's a favorite of Rick and mine. We quote lines from the movie in our everyday life.
The new television series, based on the movie, started last night.
I don't know if it got good reviews, but I sure hope it did! It has a beautiful and fun cast, interesting characters and some of the familiar story lines from the movie. The characters are loosely based on those from the movie, but has very similar humor and touching conflicts of family. In the pilot I laughed out loud and was in tears at the end.
I love it! I'm not sure how in the world I'm going to fit it into my DVR schedule, but I will definitely figure it out! You should too!
