what i'm watching.

Nothing says filler post like that title, am I right? But honestly, we all love television. Good, bad, really bad. Us bloggies can't get enough of it. And to be completely honest, lately I'd rather watch TV than write a blog post. I'M SORRY, okay? I can't pull content out of my ass. So until I get caught up on my stories — the televised kind and the life ones — you have to read this kind of bullshit.

the new ones

The Following

Aren't we all? Some of the early episodes irritated me. OH NO ANOTHER FOLLOWER. But now as we reach the end of the season I am peeing myself. This shit is just pure crazy and I love it. It fits in with my real-life-crime-shows addiction quite nicely.

Top of the Lake

This is a heavy, heavy show featuring the extraordinary Elizabeth Moss. It is on the Sundance channel, which I'm still not even sure what that means. It is good, real good. A little weird, but I would watch Elizabeth Moss in anything. She is brilliant.

Vikings

Dying...DYING over this show. I've decided that I am a viking, so don't fuck with me. The History channel has nailed this one. The main character bears a striking resemblance to Jax from SOA. Yea, that's right. I'll wait while you go set your DVR...

the old ones

Game of Thrones

Don't even tell me you don't watch this. GET OVER YOURSELF. This was the show that when Justin said I had to watch it I replied, "I don't like period pieces." Which doesn't even make sense. All I know is that I need me some dragons and some long blonde hair.

Lost

Please see the first two sentences above. This is the one show that I insisted Justin watch. We are on season two. I still cry over it all the damn time. Rose + Bernard 4eva!

Shameless

One of the best shows I've ever seen. Ever. The season finale is this week and I am not emotionally prepared. While I loathe William H. Macy's character, the rest of the characters are so beautifully acted. Emmy Rossum is a dream, you guys. Talk about an amazing cry face. Joan Cusack is just perfection and plays one of my favorite television characters of all time. I can't say enough about this show. Just watch it, yea?

Eastbound & Down

Justin and I are going to write a book about how this is the greatest show of our time. Although quite horrific at times, this show has feelings. Real feelings. And we also agree that Danny McBride is one hell of an actor, even when he is playing the world's biggest doucher (which his roles usually include). La Flama Blanca for life!

Weeds, season 8

I was a huge fan of this show in the beginning, so I have to finish it even though I heard terrible things about this season and I can't stand Jennifer Jason Leigh's character. I started it this week because I couldn't find any damn crime shows to watch (and I don't allow myself to DVR that shit because it could get out of control). We shall see where this final season takes us...

and starting Sunday...MAD MEN IS BACK! I can't even handle myself.

Thanks, Kelsey!

the ones I refuse to watch

All of the damn housewives

Starting now I have placed a moratorium on any housewife watching by yours truly. I watched half of RHOC the other night when I couldn't sleep and I've had heart palpitations since. Related? PROBABLY. I think it has something to do with Vicki's face and also all of the screeching and bickering. Even though the teaser of Laurie/Chyna returning is tempting, for my health I can't even with these shows. Any of them. Okay except maybe Atlanta sometimes...

And holy shit I just realized that I need to get a life. This is a lot of television time. Damn you cable. Damn you so good.
