I just realized something. I hardly watch television anymore. Like this is a bit of a shock, because I used to be a tv hog. Every single night of the week, there was one or two shows that were must sees. And now? It’s pretty much dwindled down to Grey’s Anatomy and Supernatural, which fill in my Thursday night…..and that’s about it other than Law and Order SVU on Tuesdays.
Wow, this is really shocking. Because the following is a list of shows I watched every single week. I’ll start with Sunday.
-Cold Case. Loved this show and cried every episode.
-Heros and CSI Miami and 24
-Law and Order SVU
-Law and Order, Lost
-Grey’s Anatomy and ER and CSI
-Ghost Whisperer
and now I’m down to three. But, the reason for this is that I’ve totally gotten into my writing and spend most of my evenings either reading or writing. So, while I”m still parking my butt on the couch, I’m not indulging in televison anyomore. Looking over my list though, I think I could be pursuaded to watch at least a good comedy now and again. The office is ok, but I used to adore Everybody loved Raymond. Where is that dude?
So, what’s everbody’s television habits? What shows can you not live without? And are you watching more or less?

Seems like every time I really like a show it gets cancelled.
I hardly watch any tv at all either. Supernatural is a must see for me every week and I actually watch it when it airs. I think it is the only show I actually watch when it airs.
If I had more time I would try to catch most of the ones you listed as well as The Closer, Burn Notice (the few i have seen I liked. He was an ass in Hitch but I love him in this show).
When I do randomly watch tv what I catch are reruns while I grade papers -I need the background noise
And those are usually things like marathon days of top chef, project runway, or antm, or random things on the history/science channels, lol. Sad, huh?

Hey what’s this Burn Notice? I’ve heard about it on another loop, and it supposed to be good. I’ll have to google!

Nope, hardly watch any TV. I don’t even catch House all that often anymore and it was a fav. Like you, I’m either reading or cyber hopping…seldom writing in the evening. Just don’t have the brain for it by that time of day.
I keep hearing about Burn Notice as well, must go look for it.

Lainey! You’re back from the land of the sun! and yeah, I forgot about House….used to watch that too! Oy, I was a tv hog!

Yup, I hear you. Between the kids, work, and just trying to write or keep up with the housework I have whittled it down to seasonal shows. Reality shows at that!! Except for Lost. I do not miss Lost. I used to LURVE watching TV. Now I get myself all excited for a once a year show like the Oscars. Sigh. I miss my wasted hours…

Hey Nell, thanks for stopping by! I hear ya, those kids and hubby really do intrude on our writing time, no wonder I don’t have the inclination to watch tv anymore….too busy trying to get writing done when I can!
