TGIF! How’s your day been going?
Mine? Busy.
Time for Day 21 of the Challenge – Favorite Shows
Favorite Shows
1. Real Housewives. Love all of them except D.C. I just never really got into those ladies and the episodes sat and sat on my DVR and I deleted them because the Beverly Hills ladies and Atlanta ladies were on. I feel a “connection” to the O.C. housewives, probably because they are only an hour north of me. And the NYC housewives give me perspective on east coast/NYC life.
2. Millionaire Matchmaker. I loved her episodes from NYC, but am excited she’s going back to La-La land next.
3. Kendra. She’s a San Diego girl, too. She makes me laugh.
4. Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Again, feel a “connection” to them because of geographical proximity and as much as they do have a crazy family life, they all love each other so much and I love watching big families interact.
5. Survivor. I desperately wanted to be on Survivor and about 5 years ago they were in San Diego doing casting calls. But I was newly pregnant and couldn’t go. However, I lived in the jungle in Costa Rica for a month doing my first Yoga Teacher Training ten years ago. Monkeys were throwing sh*t at our huts, I lived on tropical fruit and very little else, the clean drinking water situation was iffy at best, and showers happened. Just not the frequently. So I feel like I could make it for a month on Survivor. And I am a jock and tough despite being girlie. I want to kick butt in the challenges!
6. Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa. I posted about my love for her here.
7. Jackie Warner’s old show that got canceled, not her newer one. I loved watching how her trainers trained people and the drama-filled office politics.
8. Million Dollar Listing. Watching very young rich people make even more money by doing very little is strangely entertaining.
9. American Idol. But I don’t watch it or follow it closely anymore. But before Skylar was born, loved watching this. My faves were the massive auditions and open calls. Some of the people auditioning are seriously tone deaf. And brave. They must know they are going to get ripped to shreds yet they still subject themselves to it just for their 2 minutes of fame. Crazy!
10. As a catch all, most anything on Bravo, the E Channel, The Food Network, and reality shows in general will always be my go-to shows.
Other TV tidbits:
I hate commercials
I DVR everything and watching nothing live
I watch TV to escape and zone out for a few minutes. None of the shows I watch are intellectually stimulating. By design.
I watch less than 2 hours of TV per week.
If you missed my other Challenge Posts, so far there is:
Day 2 – Where I’d like to be in 10 years
Day 6 – 10 Facts
Day 26 – What kind of person attracts you
I’m glad you enjoyed my last post on Maca. Seems like lots of you have tried it and lots more of you want to try it. Thanks for sharing if you like it or notice any effects from it.
Weekend breakfast or snack idea: Biggie Microwave Banana Oat Cakes
Questions:
1. What did you do today? What’s in store for your weekend?
I did an at-home workout with some yoga and core moves after a quickie run. Even though it was chilly and it’s been so windy here, I can’t complain because it was sunny.
I am working, I grocery shopped, cooked, did laundry, did food prep for the family, blogged, handled emails and phone calls. You know, I sat around watching hours and hours of TV shows while eating peeled grapes and bon-bons.
2. What Challenge Day should I do next?
3. Any shows “everyone” watches but you never watch?
This would be most any and all shows out there from Glee to Gossip Girl to the Emmy’s and Red Carpet to movies. If it wasn’t on the list above, I probably haven’t seen it!
4. What are your Favorite Shows?
Can’t wait to hear about these!
Keeping up w/ the kardashians is incredible, the absolute best trashy tv :D
I like most of those shows too, except Survivor and AI… but the other ones rate high for me too!!! :)
I also LOVE Parenthood and America’s Next Top Model!! :)
We like the same shows :D
We don’t watch much tv. We like 30 Rock, Outsourced and Modern Family. I love Foodography on the cooking channel. That’s about it. Even if I watch things, I can miss them. I, honestly, could live without it.
i dont think i get the cooking channel? only food network.
Foodography on the cooking channel = sounds interesting!
i have learned that i dont miss movies. I know, crazy, but true. Havent seen one in…years!
MY favorite shows: !!!
1. LOST
2. Sex n d city
3. Grey’s anatomy (esp seasons 1-3)
4. sometimes Keeping up with the Kardashians (although I think Kim is the most boring of them all)
5. International House Hunters
6. No Reservations – Anthony Bourdain
7. Foodnetwork’s Chopped.
:)
Do challenge #28!
lost, grey’s – never watch them
The rest, yes! and i love them all! anthony B. is sooo entertaining!
I love the Barefoot Contessa! She makes the best food, and she’s adorable. We call her ‘Our Lord’ :)
yes, totally!! :)
Love the kardashians! Girl I hate commercials too, slash I never watch anything on tv it is ALWAYS on hulu…I am lazy:)
I just got back from dinner with my sister, and i’m about to make this week’s indulgence friday recipe! Ahhh i’m so excited:)
glad you had din with your sis!
TV: I hooked up the cable for the first time in 7 years the past 3 months.
I watch Sex & the City reruns and the occasional show on the History Channel or National Geographic. I like The Middle – other than that I’ve never seen any of these other shows… I often feel slightly out of the popular-culture-loop when people make references to shows in conversation. I sit there thinking “huh?”
I get SOOOOOO much more done in the evening after the little one goes to bed if I don’t have the distraction of TV, so as of the 11th cable is shut off :)
I don’t watch all that much TV, but Survivor is one that I do not miss! I so want to be a contestant. I even sent in an audition video when I was in college. I hope it’s still on when I’m done having babies because I can’t let the dream go. ;-) Wouldn’t it be cool if we were on the same season? ha ha :-)
stranger things have happened :)
I don’t think we have ANY shows in common. I haven’t even seen half of those. I’ve seen the Real Housewives on the plane but it was DC and it was weird. I like Glee, NBC thurs shows (community, the office, parks and rec), dexter, and animal rescue shows like pit boss. i don’t watch them live either and also hate commercials. I guess a lot of people watch gossip girl but i think it’s for a bit of a younger audience? I use to watch NO tv but now that I don’t work I can fit it in. And my standards tend to be lower if I am on the treadmill or machine at the gym or on the plane.
1. I went to a Bible study this morning and plan on going grocery shopping this evening if I can kick this headache I’ve got going on.
2. I’d love for you to answer #12-Bullet your whole day, or #27-A problem you have had.
3. I don’t watch The Office. I actually can’t stand it. Don’t hate me! I’m probably the only person who feels that way.
4. I, just this year, got hooked into watching Gilmore Girls reruns. I’d never watched it before. I don’t really watch a ton of TV, but I do like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I watch American Idol now and then.
I don’t think there’s enough room here for me to post my favorite shows.
I’ve never been into Glee no matter how mainstream it is. I hardly like listening to A cappella in person, I don’t know why I’d want to watch it on TV. And I’ve never watched any of the Housewives because I feel like they’re too dramatic. I do, however, like Bethenny and her show. She’s funny.
Bethenny…I hope they bring her show back for a 2nd season. Loved her so much on her own show (and not sure if she’s in the cast of RHW’s of NYC this coming season). Not that you are glued to your tv for that answer :)
Yes, her new show premiers this month. It’s called Bethenny Ever After.
I just started watching Bethanny Getting Married and never thought I would – but I love it! She is sharp and funny, but still real :)
Yay for Bethenny! And the fact that she’s a mom and keeping it all together, I love her even more :)
My guilty pleasures are the real housewives, the kardashians and jersey shore (its like watching a train wreck). I would like to hear what your favorite movie is (#24)! Enjoy your weekend!! :)
I really only watch Bravo — FYI Nene from Atlanta housewives is going to be on The Apprentice with Donald Trump — I cannot wait for that show. I’ve never watched Glee, I hate 30 Rock (boring!), and there are so many other shows that I have never watched. Grey’s Anatomy? Never watched. Lost? Watched 3 times. Oh well. There are plenty of Bravo shows to watch!
I would love for you to do challenge #25 — someone who fascinates you and why.
Nice post! I like Housewives also. Althought im not much of a TV watcher..i like to watch Auction Hunters! It keeps me interested. I never thought about all those old abandoned storage units. Its crazy how they do that.
