We watch too much television, for sure. There are some shows out there that we just love and I wanted to share those with you to make sure you're not missing them! I'll just mention our newest favorites and leave out the oldies like Grey's Anatomy.
The newest show we love is Mike & Molly, which airs on Monday nights on CBS. Mike is Billy Gardell, who has been in a number of shows like My Name is Earl and Yes, Dear. Molly is the fabulous Melissa McCarthy (Aka Sookie from Gilmore Girls). It's a comedy based on two overweight people who meet at an over-eater anonymous meeting. Sounds lame, but it's hysterical.
On Tuesdays, we watch Parenthood. We LOVE Parenthood, which airs on ABC. It's an hour long, family comedy/drama that has lots of recoginzable cast members such as Lauren Graham and Craig T. Nelson. The show is about a family of four siblings and all of their individual families. It deals with a lot of topics like teenage drama, love, marriage, parenting and family, but I especially love the grandson that they've recently discovered has Asperger's (a form of autism). I love the way that they're very real about life and they don't try to make things all happy and cheery all the time. And I love Lauren Graham.
Wednesdays--We watch The Middle on ABC. As imdb.com describes it, it's about "the daily mishaps of a harried woman and her semi-dysfunctional family and their attempts to survive life in general in the city of Orson, Indiana. If you're a mother, it will speak to you. Seriously. It's hysterical. Patricia Heaton (Ray's wife from Everybody Love Raymond) plays the mom, Frankie Heck. Neil Flynn (the Janitor from Scrubs) plays the dad, Mike Heck. Their kids names? Axl, Sue and Brick. Seriously.
Those are the newest shows we love. Other faves you should check out would be Big Bang Theory on CBS Thursdays, Pawn Stars and American Pickers on History, and Chopped on the Food Network.
What are you watching these days?
I like Parenthood too, but I hate the whole dynamic between the grandparents. The episode where she was mad at him because he didn't want her to take the art class really ticked me off. lol
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are Modern Family, Community, 30 Rock, and the middle. I used to really like The Office, but I think I'm getting tired of it.

I agree, Jamie. We do enjoy 30 Rock, but we've never watched Community. We'll have to check it out. We have the first season of 30 Rock on DVD, but we're way behind what's actually on TV. We'll catch up eventually!
