Now before we moved here Amoeba asked me to research the LocalTV-Satellite choices. He likes to watch a sporting event every now and then. His favorite is Australian Rules Football (“the footy”). He says it is his favorite mostly because he can actually watch the game and doesn’t keep getting interrupted by commercials.
I’m not much of a TV watcher, but lately I have had the most incredible urge to do so. It is kind of weird because for at least 6 years now I have not followed a TV series or turned the tube on for anything but special programs and DVDs. And even that little viewing has pretty much gone by the wayside because I don’t even look at the listings anymore for special programs. That means I haven’t even got any idea what’s on and what might be good to look at.
When we were checking out localtv-satellite.com Amoeba and I discussed the fact that we don’t really watch TV much, but we still decided we wanted to have it — in case the urge ever arose. Well, it has. The thing is, I don’t know what to do about it. I can pull up the Direct TV listings, but I am so out of the loop I probably wouldn’t know what programs to choose anyway. What do you watch and why do you like it?
Visit ScuttleButt…you’ll know what I like
Thom — reality shows and soap operas are what sent me running from TV in the first place!
pffft.. ya don’t know what your missing. LOL But there again, maybe you do
I am not a huge fan of reality tv but,I’ve been watching “Celebrity Ghost Stories” and “I Survived”.
I like “Celebrity Ghost Stories” because it is hardly ever scary and I like seeing the celebs tell their own stories, not someones elses. My favorite so far is Justine Bateman. She tells a story about her family and what happened after her Grandpa died. During the entire telling, she has this kinda smirk on her face like she is going to come to a great twist ending. Or the smirk could tell us she is just really nervous, not having a script or telling such a personal story.
I absolutely LOVE “I Survived”. Again this is a personal story told by someone who has survived a catastrophic event. The event could be anything, a home invasion, a plane crash, a kidnapping, an accident. For me the story itself takes a backseat to the person and how they retell their trauma, how they feel about the trauma and surviving it, sometime later.
Both of these shows can be seen on the Biography Channel.
Nancy — I survived sounds very inspiring.
I´m more of a half hour sitcom girl. Something funny and entertaining. A new show I like is “The middle”. I hope you find what you´re searching for.
Betty — I am leaning more toward crime dramas.
Crime drama ??
