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.
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!


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!
ReplyDeleteAside 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!)
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!
