A Comprehensive List of My Life In Television

Yes, the title of this blog is a mouth full. Even for me. Who likes to talk. A lot.

But as I thought and obsessed over what to name this blog, I realized that if I cornered myself into only TV, I would be doing everyone a disservice. Because I do a lot more than just watch TV, although I'm sure my parents would argue otherwise.

I also read and watch movies. So, yeah. There's that. And I got a lot of opinions to be had. 

My aim on this new soap box is to discuss literature, television and films. My three favorite things (besides raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens and bright copper kettles) in one place. 

So far today I've only watched one show, a recording of last nights Star-Crossed. Now why, oh why, is a 30 year old watching a CW show directed at tweens and teens. That is an excellent question. One that I hope we can get to the bottom of via this blog. 

For the first entry though, I'm just going to make a comprehensive list of all the shows airing currently that I watch. That way you can judge me, have a laugh, move on with your life and tell me what I should be watching. 

Disclaimer: I don't watch all the shows you think I should be watching, which are, but not limited to: Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Madmen, Game of Thrones, Scandal, etc. I may watch them someday, but today is not that day. And it will never be that day if you pressure me, so lay off. 

Shows that I am currently watching are: 

Revenge - Listen, this show isn't meant to change your life, it's meant to make you gasp with soapy goodness, and boy does it deliver.

How I Met Your Mother - When I can, cause it's funny.

Switched at Birth - Every episode I say to myself "why are you watching this show? why are you tweeting about it?" I don't know.

Star-Crossed - Everyone loves a classic R&J tales, especially a theatre nerd like me.

The Fosters - I just don't know how to quit you.

Dancing with the Stars - I'm no longer ashamed to love a well choreographed routine.

Castle - I'll watch anything Nathan Fillion ever does in this life and the next.

Teen Wolf - I don't owe you any type of explanation but if you insist his name is Dylan O'Brien and he's brilliant.

New Girl - She slipping, but like any hero, I wont be the one to let go of her hand.

Mindy Project - I want to BE Mindy Khaling when I grow up.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine - It didn't win the Best Comedy Golden Globe for nothing.

Marvel's Agents of Shield - Again, I don't owe you any kind of explanation but if I did it would go like this - take out the name Nathan Fillion, add Joss Whedon.

Twisted - I don't have an answer for you.

Awkward - Hilarious in it's first seasons, slipped up a bit this last round, now let's see what happens.

Modern Family - All of the things.

Suburgatory - Flying in under the radar, this one surprised me. But in a good way. Plus, Alan Tudyk.

Nashville - I will watch Connie Briton take a sh*t if it's televised and done artistically. Plus the music on this show is Grade A, top notch. 

The Big Bang Theory - It's just funny people.

Reign - I started this one because it was Mary Queen of Scots and stuck around because I'm 16.

Bones - I'm just an Angela looking for her Hodgins and for that reason I will never move on. (Even though they pushed me away for a while when that baby was born in a manger, come on!)

Enlisted - This one pulled me in with its beautiful cast of men in uniform and snagged me with it's humor.

We'll start with this. According to this list, 4 out of 5 Dentist agree that I watch too much TV. Well F the dentists.

I like television, it's my hobby. It has been since I begged my parents to let me stay up and watch Doogie Houser MD. Since I sobbed my eyes out when Buffy had to kill Angel. Or when Joey climbed out of Dawson's window and ran down to the creek only to be told "In the morning, with Katie Couric!" And especially when Luke kissed Lorelai for the first time outside the Inn. 

And if loving TV is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.
