TV Shows......

[Marilyn]

My viewing habits are a little different. I don't get to watch much, but when I'm home on Saturdays doing cleaning and laundry, I always try to have HGTV on. I skim watch House Hunters, House Hunters International and any other shows they broadcast. Love to see decorating ideas & inside other peoples homes, especially in exotic locations.

Regular shows when they are on... True Blood (this shocks some folks, but I like vampires and werewolves), The Newsroom both on HBO. Grimm on NBC, Big Bang Theory on CBS. I may watch Boardwalk Empire on HBO this season, not sure yet. Wasn't too keen on last season.

That's about it. We have some kind of premium package on Direct TV, a huge TV with surround sound system and I barely know how to turn it all on. You have to turn on three things and have the correct source selected. If its already on and I just have to change the channel I'm okay. My family makes fun of my ignorance on this being an engineer they think I should catch on better.

I go through spurts of watching HGTV. It seems like I'll start watching and then after a while I get tired of it. I enjoy the decorating and remodeling that they show. I sure wish my husband was handly with wood and a hammer!! It would make watchng the shows more interesting!!!

I like watching all the home improvement shows too. If I sat down and watched everything I liked whenever it was on.....I'd get little else done. I honestly don't watch that much, but if I'm in bed, I'll watch whatever is on before I fall asleep. There are only 5 that I try not to miss.

I'm really liking the Rizoli and Isles show!! I think that it's one of my favorites!!

There are also some new shows that I enjoy.....One is Abandoned where some guys go through abandoned businesses and pick things to resell......of course, they have permission. Another is Toy Collector about a guy who goes through other people's toys and then auctions them off. I enjoy any kind of show that has collectibles.

I saw the Toy Collector once, but it didn't hold my attention much. I've not heard of Rizoli and Isles, what is that about? I haven't seen Abondoned either...what station is it on? Sounds like something interesting.

Rizzoli and Istles is about two girls.....one a police officer and the other a medical examiner. They're pretty much detective shows but it has a bit of humor in it.

I enjoy the Toy Collector because I love to collect things!!

Abandoned is about a guy and his crew that go into abandoned buildings and get out things that they can sell or refurbish. It's interesting. One was an old church that was about to be demolished......another was an old cotton mill.

Saw Abandoned the other night and it is good. I found another that I haven't seen for quite some time and it's just starting again...Breaking Amish about kids that reach a certain age and go out on their own to find out if they want to stay with the Amish community or go out on their own. It's really interesting to see and learn how they live. A bit of a hard life at times.
