A few of my Favorite Shows

I have to quickly give a shout out to FINALLY saying poka (meaning buhbye) to boring rerun shows. A bunch of my favorite shows will be or have already been shown this season. I will now name a few, not in any particular order:

1. The Biggest Loser: Families

I love The Biggest Loser and wish I could go on it. I know if I worked out 6-10 hours a day and had someone tell me what I can eat I would for sure succeed. And people like me so I wouldn't get voted off... its a win-win really. On the down side I could potentially have Jillian yelling in my face and I'm not sure that would end up very pretty. But since I don't have that, I have decided to start working out and try to eat healthier. I have gone to the gym this last week and have been walking on my lunch breaks with a girl at work. It feels nice to do something about it. Way to inspire me Biggest Loser!

PS - Did anyone see Kim Lyons as one of the trainers on the Dr. Phil weight loss challenge thing? I am glad her stint on the Biggest Loser was a short one, she was too emotional.. she bugged big time.

2. Survivor: Gabon

Oh Survivor, How I heart you so! I am not sure why I am so drawn to this show but I just am. Maybe my Mom has instilled the love of it into me from a young age as she too never misses an episode. Its just a good show and I love to pick the people I like from the beginning and watch their cunning ways. Such brilliance. I can't wait to strap in this Thursday and get hooked to the 17th season. Thanks Jeff Probst for all of your fantastic hosting skills! Bring me your torch, the tribe has spoken, you will now be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

3. Chuck

Jason gave a shout out and a very good list of reasons to watch Chuck the other day on here. I standby most of what he said ;) I love this show. Thanks to the writers strike last year it ended without enough episodes to suit me. I am excited its back. Very. It makes me laugh and its adventurous without offending me with blood. Fine family fun! Well, for Jason and I at least!

4. Life

Thanks to my father-in-law I have gotten into this show and absolutely love it. It's creative and the main character is... well exactly that, a character. He is funny and I just love to watch what they will come up with next. The opening scene of the first season was him getting released from prison after being in there for 10 years for murder charges. He was obviously innocent so the rest of the season is him working as a cop again and trying to solve crimes while he focuses on who really did murder the people he was framed and charged for. I love it. Can't quite figure out the grip it has on me, but I love it just the same.

5. Eureka

This one is just seriously a good watch. It's on the sci-fi channel so unless you have cable you won't get to watch it. But its really funny and very creative. The characters are awesome and its just a fun show. Thanks Jason for introducing this one to me! I never knew I would actually really get into a show on the sci-fi channel, but I have and I'm not ashamed to admit it :).

6. The Office

I love this show. Seriously love it. From the moment it starts to the moment its over I enjoy every minute of it. It is witty and a little too close to home in some cases. If you work in an office you can appreciate it.. even if you don't I think you still can! One caution though: If they focus a whole episode solely on Michael, you might feel a little crazy. Otherwise sit back and enjoy the fun Thursday comedy. The first time I saw it I didn't get it, and didn't much enjoy it.. but let it simmer. You too will come to love Dunder Mifflin and all of its stellar employees.

One final shout out: I would like to thank my DVR which without it, I would not be able to maximize my total TV watching potential. I am officially addicted to it and am quite sure I could NOT live without it. Well, I would probably still be breathing but it would not be the quality of life and that I have become accustomed to.

Oh and if any of you would like to call me after one of these episodes, I love to talk about who got voted out or kicked off. It takes me all of the next day to recover. I'm still in shock how much weight some of those people lost last week!
