Here are a few of what I am addicted to......
The Hills; An Mtv show which is a spin off of Laguna Beach. A reality show about young Hollywood.
Engaged and Underage: Also an Mtv reality show about couples in their late teens/early twenties getting married. Good for a laugh.
New Adventures of Old Christine:Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in this show as Christine - a divorcee with a son who still has a friendship with her ex husband and his new girlfriend Christine. Great cast of characters and always good for a laugh.
Kid Nation: The critics hate this show but I love it. Is reality TV going too far? Maybe but it is good TV and the kids do have the option to go home. Last night was a great episode where the kids had to decide whether or not to slaughter soem chickens to eat. Also their water pump froze and had to come up with a way to handle this problem. Bottom line: Kids are likely better at running this town than most adults.
Life:A new show that I watched for the first time last night. A cop spends 12 years in a max security prison when he is wrongfully convicted of a triple murder. He gets an undisclosed settlement and decides to go back to the force. A humourous show, quirky lead character and a storyline with a ton of potential.
The Office:Steve Carrell. Nuff said. Possibly my most favourite show and I can watch episodes over and over again.
Big Love:I think that this is a HBO series, not sure, I watch it on my movie channel weekly. A polygamist with three wives. Think of all the possibilities with this one - lol.
Journeyman:"Journeyman" is a romantic mystery-drama about Dan Vasser (Kevin McKidd, "Rome"), a San Francisco newspaper reporter and family man who inexplicably begins to travel through time and change people's lives. Along the way, he also must deal with the difficulties and strife at work and home brought on by his sudden disappearances. However, his freewheeling travels through the decades reunite him with his long-lost fiancée Livia (Moon Bloodgood, "Day Break") -- which complicates his present-day life with wife Katie (Gretchen Egolf, "Martial Law") and their son. Reed Diamond ("Homicide: Life on the Street") and Charles Henry Wyson ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") also star.

I watched the first season of Big Love when we had the movie channels too. I really liked it. We got rid of the movie channels though so I haven't seen it since. I don't watch alot of TV so I don't really watch anything faithfully (except Mantracker) but when I do sit down and watch, I watch: My Name Is Earl House ummmmm.........that can't be it!?! I watched the first episode of Survivor last week. I'm really going to try and do something else when it's on tonight. I don't want to get hooked.

What the heck do you do at night? Between 9-11 all I do is watch TV.

Well I get my monster to bed around 7-7:30pm. Then I tidy up, sometimes have a bath, read or watch TV. Or I might watch a movie. I try to go to bed by 10pm on weekdays because my kid doesn't sleep through the night lately and always wakes up at the buttcrack of dawn no matter how many times she was awake during the night. Last night I watched a show on TLC called "Pregnant for 46 Years"

Meerkat Manor. NUMB3RS. Sometimes NCIS. But I mostly watch NCIS because when I was a little girl I had the hots for Ilya on "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Almost everything else is historical or geographical. Or movies. TV's such a wasteland, the true opiate of the masses .. I once went over two years without looking at a television once, with the exception of about ten minutes worth of a report about the bombing of Kosovo. Didn't miss it a bit. It's easier than watching the propaganda the US is fed like pabulum about world events ..

Better being addicted to TV then to something that could kill you in the end. I like watching LA Ink. Those kinds of tattoo shows always make me want to go get another one. Too bad I'm chicken shit. I want to get the one I have now covered up and want another one.....somewhere, not sure what or where though.

Last night I watched 'How to look good naked' on TLC. It was entertaining.

I watched the premier and maybe second show of Heros and I really liked it but then I missed a few weeks and had a hard time catching up. I am considering renting teh first season to see what I have missed. House I have watched a few times as well. I am a sucker for smartasses.

One of my friends has both and a giant pixie across her back. Can I tell you she never looks good in a dress. Too much.
