Where to begin? I think I'll just sort them by the night of the week I 'think' the shows are on. I hardly ever watch the show on the actual night it airs. Here's the thing - I hate commercials. Loathe 'em. Therefore, I do not watch them. Ever. People will go, "Oh did you see such & such commercial? It was so funny!" To which I reply, 'Nope, I don't watch commercials...' So every.single. show I watch goes on the DVR. Every one. I watch NOTHING, I repeat nothing live. Now-I WILL watch some shows the night they are on if I'm afraid there will be lotsa talk at work the next day about them. I mean - I can't be missing out on talk.... Psssssh.
But here's one even better... I've got it down to a science. To watch a show that starts at 9:00pm, but be finished with it by 10:00pm.... I can start watching 18 minutes after the hour (9:18...) & fast forward through all the commercials & I'm done by the start of the next hour. Scary, huh?! (Love me some dvr...)
Sunday:Amazing Race: It's just fun. Travelling around the country looking for clues. I would never, ever make it on this show. I'm too impatient, too nuts, too chicken! And if B-rad & I tried out for it. We would either be divorced...or dead...
Celebrity Apprentice: I also watch normal Apprentice but celebrity is on right now. This show can be awful, but boy do I love watching them throw each other under the bus when it's board room time. Classic.
Mike & Molly: I just started this one & it's really cute & funny.
Two & a half Men: Uhm-I USED to watch? Don't know if I will be able to anymore?
Bethenny Ever After: I watched Bethenny on Real Housewives of New York (I'm getting to those...) & loved her! She then got her own show when she got married & now she's married with a baby. I love her quick wit & her inappropriateness!
Tuesday:The Good Wife: Love me some Juliana Marguiles so I watch this show. It also has Chris Noth who was Mr Big from SATC. (Sex & the City...)
Wednesday:Criminal Minds: Love this show but it scares the bejesus outta me. I can only watch it when A) it's not dark outside or B) B-rad's home.
Criminal Minds, Suspect Behavior: Eh-this one just started & it's ok. I don't really see much difference in it & the regular ole Criminal Minds.
Top Chef: Great show. I have no clue what they make but it amazes me how they can throw stuff together with time & ingredient restraints.
Law & Order SVU: It's strange I watch this one because I never watched the original Law & Order. But this one is different...it's got Mariska Hargitay! (Are you noticing a pattern here? Some shows I watch soley based on the actors/actresses.)
Modern Family: Hi-lar-ious!
The Middle: I just started this one last season but I love it. They're dysfunctional & they don't care! I don't really know what's wrong with Brick, though. Ya know how sometimes he repeats what he says? Anyone know what that's about?!
Bones: David Borneaz. 'Nuff said...
Mr. Sunshine: This is Matthew Perry who I loved from the Friends years. It was not so good at first, but it's growing on me. Allison Janney plays his boss & she's hilarious!
Survivor: I have watched every.single.season of Survivor. I love how they make little changes here & there to the game every season but it doesn't ruin it. Sometimes when they jack around with stuff it messes up the whole dynamic. I'm just waiting for the season they actually kill someone...
Thursday: Grey's: Hello!! Love.this.show. Love me some McDreamy! Patrick Dempsey is yum-mo! This is one I usually start watching at 9:18 so I can be in bed by 10:00. I don't really like the Callie/Arizona story. They're both chicks....I'm not really about all that...(Disclaimer - I believe that being gay is a choice & I would never condemn someone for who they love. But I don't need to be seein' 2 chicks lovin' on each other, ya know? And to be fair -I'm uncomfortable watching a man & woman lovin' on each other. I don't discriminate...)
Private Practice: loved the Charlotte getting raped story line. Now I realize that may sound strange if you don't watch the show.... but Charlotte is tough as nails & she got the crap beat outta her. I was sooo happy they didn't make her all weepy & whiny like Grey's did with Christina. Charlotte got even...I like that...
Big Bang Theory: This is THE funniest show on television. If you are not watching it, you are seriously demented. Thursdays. 8:00. CBS.
I have no clue what night: Real Housewives: Ok, I have tried them ALL over the years. The ones I still watch are: Orange County, New Jersey, Beverly Hills, Miami (it just started) & New York. Atlanta gals got too ghetto for my liking & the DC chicks were too black vs. white. I really not about that crap either....
Fairly Legal: New show on USA. It's about a chick that does mediation. (That's un-official law stuff, not mind voo-doo). Like I said, I love me some law stuff...therefore, I love un-official law stuff too....)
Sister Wives: A guy who has chosen to be married to 4 different women? He must have a screw loose...
Also deserving honorable mention are the shows that are on hiatus right now...(& these are just the ones I could think of...): The Closer (Incredible show. One of my favs. Sadly it is ending after this season. Mrs. Kevin Bacon stars in this one!), Psych (hilariously funny. Lotsa 80's references...), Burn Notice (I have no clue who the main guy is-but he is H-O-T.), Project Runway (like Top Chef in that I have no clue what they're talking about but they make incredible clothing out of practically nothing...or sometimes trash or groceries. Genius!).
I used to watch CSI, but there's just no time. Surprised?! I still allow B-rad 1 hour of dvr time a week to tape it. (Ok-he gets more than 1 hour a week, but not much more. He does his fair share of dvr'ing too people - don't let him fool you! But his stuff is boring motorcycle races. PLUS his stuff stock piles on the dvr because he has no time to watch it. My stuff is in & out again...)
This list doesn't even include the stuff I used to watch but dropped for a variety of reasons: Cake Boss, 19 Kids & counting, The Defenders, Cougar Town, Gossip Girl, 90210 (the new one-I stuck the old one out until Donna married David... sigh...), CSI: Miami, CSI:New York, Top Chef:Masters, Days of Our Lives, So You Think You Can Dance & Dancing with the Stars. (just to name the ones I can think of off the top of my head...)
Whew-I told ya I was a tv lover! It gets really bad when I'm busy & can't keep caught up on my shows! Eh - I've got no kids & a husband who is hardly ever home, what else am I gonna do with myself?! Drugs? Drink? Paperwork? Housework? Jewelry shows? Puh-leezzzz!

YOU.CRACK.ME.UP!!! I knew your list would be a good one. I couldn't wait to read it!!! I've never even heard of some of these shows!! I am glad you enjoy them though! :)
Seriously, this is like a part-time job. Do you ever feel overwhelmed?? You are hilarious girl.
We have a lot of shows to watch too!! There are so many I had to me a spread sheet to keep up with the times and days!! Good thing we usually have Sat and Sunday to catch up on all of them!!!
Erin a spreadsheet?! EXCELLENT idea! I have a tv guide app, but it doesn't really remind me when stuff is on.
Ginmommy-I only feel overwhelmed when I'm not home in the evenings & can't watch 1 or 2 shows a night. When they start to stock pile I start to feel like I'm drowning. In the summer most shows go on hiatus, so that helps... except that I watch a lotta shows that cable channels broadcast in the summer. It's a vicious cycle. But I love the viciousness!
Alicia-Yes, I have a sickness! When you're home all day with Nora & have nothing to do (HA!), let me know & I'll pick out the very best ones for you to try! ;)
This was awesome. I will admit if I didn't have kids my list would just about as long. I don't like having a lot of shows on my dvr, it's an OCD thing. It has to be clean and pretty. I get overwhelmed if I can't watch them all so I just stop watching.
I love it!! You aren't kidding when you said you loved tv! Reading your blog, I forgot about Top Chef! I didn't list it, but we watch it religiously. You're hilarious!
Whew! Jaime, that list wore me out! I've never heard of some of these shows! When does Sister Wives come on? I've seen one episode of this, and I was mesmerized. I've only caught it that one time on tv, and I don't know when it's on to dvr it. I love my DVR!
Denise-Sister Wives is on Sunday nights on TLC. This season is interesting bc they are dealing w/ the aftermath of 'coming out' to the world. Mesmerizing is a great word for it! I don't necessarily agree w/ the lifestyle, but I figure they're not hurting anyone?...
