Another show I'm planning to watch but just haven't found the time yet is Glee. I've had several friends say that it's great and it's received good reviews so I intend to give it a chance. The first two episodes are on my DVR so hopefully I can watch those before I get too far behind. Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it...catchy songs.
There really haven't been any other new shows that have peaked my interest. I did watch The Jay Leno Show on Monday night mainly to see what Kanye West was going to say after the VMA incident and also because Jerry Seinfeld was the guest. It was basically a total knock-off of The Tonight Show. I think the only difference was Jay wasn't behind a desk which actually made me think it looked more like Oprah once they sat down. And then to further affirm that feeling Oprah appeared! It was confusing and awkward and I think the only way I will watch again is if there is a guest I want to see or if there is nothing else on. In which case I should probably just turn the TV off and read a book...or watch one of these other shows already taking up space on my DVR! Because I'm sure you're curious what takes up most of our DVR space, here are my thoughts on some different shows I'm currently watching:
Mad Men - Loooove it, each episode gets better and I really love reading these recaps too. Peggy Olson has been my favorite character this season although I am missing Joan, she hasn't had nearly the screen time she's had in past seasons.
Top Chef - I started watching Top Chef Masters when it was on a few months ago and was totally surprised that I enjoyed it. I mean it's a show about cooking and my version of cooking involves a frozen meal and a microwave. I assumed the fact that OU graduate Rick Bayless won the honor of Top Chef Master may have had something to do with my interest. Yet, when the non-master version of Top Chef started I decided to give it a chance and now I'm hooked! It has even inspired me to try to cook more. Of course on my first attempt to make homemade guacamole I cut into the jalapeno and immediately began cursing at the pain my fingers experienced from the juice. And then when I cut into the avocados I discovered the importance of making sure an avocado is ripe before you plan to eat it. Awesome. Anyway, Jen & Kevin are my favorites and I'm sure when they started cooking they made rookie mistakes too, right?
Project Runway - For some reason this season has been pretty boring to me so far. I think the challenges are uninspired and Michael Kors (my favorite judge) has only been present for one out of the three episodes. I do think that the right person has gone home each time (Seriously how did Mitchell even make this season??) and I hope that as it gets down to the truly talented people it starts to get more exciting for me. My current favorites are Carol Hannah and Shirin (yay for Richardson, TX!)
Biggest Loser - In the past this is a show that I've watched once it gets down to about 5 contestants because what I really love about it is seeing the transformations and the episodes seem to drag. I think this could be solved if they made it a one hour show instead of two, but no one asked me. However I admit that if I watch an episode long enough it usually makes me cry. Case in point, last night I watched the first hour of the premiere and teared up a few times. This season is about second chances and hearing each person's story was actually really touching. The contestants this season have been through a lot and because their stories are so intriguing I think I might find myself watching more often than I have in the past. No favorites yet although Abby's story was the one that brought the tears.And I think that's it...as if there would be room for more, right!? I'm starting to think that I might need to get a new hobby that doesn't involve television. Until then, happy premiere week everyone!
