Monday night T.V. is good again finally! That hasn't happened since high school!

My friends and I used to have "Ally Mcbeal nights at Kim's" back in high school and I love that show to this day! When I look at Ally I see so much of myself. Her self-conscious awkwardness, quirky personality and her taste in clothes are all me. I'm a lot like her but with a healthy dose of prude and a mound of morals. I love the humor and the way she imagines things that are just so nuts happening to her and those around her is fantastic. Everyone on that show is just a little "different" and I would love to live in a world where it was so obvious that others have faults and insecurities, too. I have purchased the DVD box set and revisit the gang now and then! Anyway, just as we had our tradition on Monday nights back then, I have a new Monday night tradition now.
I am addicted to Dancing With the Stars! I have a standing Monday night date with my Grandma to watch and "oooo" and "ahhhh" over the talented and not-so-talented stars. We like to guess the scores and then complain when Len gives junky dancers higher marks then our favorites. All the attractive men don't hurt either! Eye candy is always a plus. That's right, boys! Girls do it, too! We just refrain from drooling all over and scratching ourselves.

Now after that show comes Castle and that is joy as well! That show has heaps of sarcasm and tons of sexual tension. I enjoy shows that have these qualities very much. I live vicariously through the characters made up in Hollywood. I don't have the confidence to be the bold personality like the ones I admire in those shows and movies. If you know me and are reading this you may disagree but in my head I'm way more insane then I am in real life. I have quite an imagination but hardly ever display what it comes up with. I try to tone myself down to make it legal to go out in public. You can thank me later for having such restraint so you don't get injured as a result of the three ring circus like the one that is being carried out in my head.

So if you have a favorite show or a tradition or anything I would love to hear about it and discuss the subject with you so send me a comment and we can chat. I always like to hear about different fun stuff I haven't happened upon yet. You never know what you could be missing and I would rather not miss a thing if I can help it. If you can be a part of broadening my horizons then that would be a great service you provided and I thank you for that in advance. Tell me about your favorites or complain about garbage television and film, that would be a great time as well. So long for now... see you next time, folks!

  1. I like it! I would do stuff like that with my grandmother. She was a bit of a filthy old lady...way filthier than I could ever think to be. So we would watch raymond, 2 and half men, and then jay leno.....which ironically enough...was on Monday nights! Not to say those shows are filthy per say....but she would find a way to chuckle at the inappropriate comments!

    Aside from my So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway, and LA Ink gatherings...I am a big fan of the Mentalist and House. What is it about witty, obnoxious, jerky, loud men that I find so funny and endearing?!!?!?! Not sure...But I do know that those traits are one of the many reasons I think your brother is so great! (so i'm thinking you might agree!)

  2. I do find those qualities endearing, Amy! I completely agree! Those men are far more fun to watch then a meek little pip-squeak man is! There is a character on Ally Mcbeal who is the perfect cocky quirky guy but he also has a hidden self esteem issue buried deep down inside and that makes for interesting turmoil. That show was great and still is inmy DVD box set! Two and a half men is very entertaining and I am sometimes surprised at what they get away with... good for them!
