If you follow me on the twitter, you know that I made a huge announcement a few weeks ago regarding Justin and I.
Yes, YES! We are GETTING CABLE!
What? Expecting something else? Calm down, team marriage. Cable is a huge step for us because #1 we are trying to be frugal and cable is the opposite of that, and #2 because I tend to go full-retard when I have cable. Justin has strict orders to monitor the DVR and if I happen to have 18 episodes of Animal Hoarders saved, I am not allowed to have the cables any longer.
You may be asking yourself, why now? BECAUSE. So many good shows are starting all at once and it requires way to much energy to find them online or wait for them to come on Netflix. Technically, I'm already behind because I haven't caught up on Downton Abbey, The Walking Dead, Girls, or Dexter. But our glorious package comes with On Demand so I can watch all the shows, and then some. Basically, I'm never leaving the apartment. But at least I will be all caught up on my shows!
Here are a select few that I am most excited about:
![]() |
| One of the BEST shows on television. Season 2 had me sobbing. I can't wait to see where they pick up. The acting is some of the best you will ever see. |
![]() |
| I'm giving up most of my other network shows because I am so far behind, and because they are full of unnecessary emotional terrorism. So, I think I'll give Mr. Bacon a chance. |
![]() |
| GAME OF THRONES. The entire show is in caps lock. It just is. |
![]() |
| You really don't get it unless you get it. It's true. Final season. I can't even. |
![]() |
| I mean, COME ON. |

| You know how they say that Big Bang or House or whatever is the smartest show on television? THEY obviously haven't seen this. Both seasons are on Netflix. Need more reasons to watch? |








Too Cute is like crack! CRACK. I love that show.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited you're getting cable. I don't know how you lived without it.
Congrats and best wishes on the cable!! How did I miss your announcement?? Matt finally said yes to HBO and Showtime so I too shall get to watch Girls...and re-runs of Dexter and True Blood in the summer!! So excited!!
ReplyDeletesooo jealous.
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember what it is like to have television let alone cable.
I either have to wait for netflix or talk my husband into downloading it for me.
what am I saying? I don't have to talk him into it. he loves it.
gets some sick thrill out of it.
now I'm just telling lies.
probably because I'm green with jealous rage right now. haha
I would literally DIE without cable. Major props for surviving this long without it. Also... HAMMTASTIC photo selection. He has a great ability to make a disgusting face yet still exhibit panty-droppin' levels of sexiness.
ReplyDeleteNormally I just steal my parents HBO password and get on the app, but I feel like I need to watch Girls in real time this season. It's a serious conundrum.
ReplyDeleteI saw an advertisement for a show called Deception and peeked my interest. I might see if I can fit it into my non existent schedule. But right now I am addicted to Revenge. I love it.
ReplyDeleteShameless has been my addiction for the past week or 2, only a few more episodes and I'm ready for season 3. I wish we were in the same friggin time zone. Maybe we can watch tv together in May between beers...naww just beers and food.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations....I am so happy for you both!! :) I will be toasting this milestone with some bubbly tonight! And you are the THIRD blogger today who has talked about Downtown Abbey. I am def not a cool kid.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!! Shit! Now we can start talking about stuff that really matters in life - TV! Except I don't have fancy channels and we watch diff shows lol. I'm excited for the Following. Kevin Bacon better fill my Kiefer/24 void.
ReplyDeleteUghghhgghh so jealous. We still don't have cable and I'm on the verge of tears because everyone and their brother is caught up on all these shows and I'M NOT. Not that that's worth crying over, but yes it actually is because hey, PMS.
ReplyDeleteSO MANY THINGS TO SAY!
ReplyDeleteIS IT THE LAST SEASON OF MADMEN?!?!? (omg capslock!) Because I will die. Long live Don Draper the lady raper!
Downton Abbey! I swooned so hard over Branson last night, and I don't even know why.
I still need to watch Sherlock.
"Crappily ever after" gave me the giggles.
You're getting cable, and we're getting rid of it! In 6 months. Respectively.
First of all, I'm sooo happy for you both, congratulations. I'm right there with you, girl. Seriously. I'm experiencing something new (since I've never had a DVR before) fear of the DVR being full. Now mind you, it doesn't stop me from filling it up. But what this fear does is, motivate me to watch stuff quickly so I can delete it, like a woman who sneaks shopping bags into the house, or someone who eats when no one is around.
ReplyDeleteAwesome fake-out -- take that, Team Marriage!
ReplyDeleteI watch zero of these shows but I am still excited for you to get cable. Maybe you can even come over to the dark side of Bachelor and Real Housewives with me.
ReplyDeleteSo clearly we don't watch any of the same shows.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very depressing comment.
Sweet baby Jesus, we can talk aout Girls, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones... so excited! If you happen to get HBO I highly recommend Homeland. It's all kinds of amazing, hoochie.
ReplyDeleteNot even joking but I think that me and you could watch tv for hours on end.
ReplyDeleteGAME OF THRONES!!!!!!!!!!
I fully believe that cable helps with frugality because you can stay home and be entertained for hours on end! We're going to watch The Following too. I need Mad Men to give us a start date already! I need to plan my spring.
