Favorites

So I'm catching up on some of my favorite shows while L is in his jumper and thought hey why not share my love with the rest of the world. So let me know if some my shows are favorites of yours or make a recommendation for some of your favorites that aren't listed I'm always looking for new things to obsess over. Now obviously TV/cable is not generally part of cheap living, but when you find an awesome deal on internet that just happens to include TV for less than you were paying for internet alone you go for it.

So here are some of my favorites at the moment:

Selfie: The title makes it sound awful and I almost didn't watch but when it started there was nothing else on worth watching in it's time slot. So I gave it a shot and I love it and am devastated that it is being cancelled.

How to Get Away With Murder: I can barely start on this one, I mean where to start? It's kept me hanging since the beginning. I was just able to watch last nights episode today and already have thoughts of giving it its own page just to discuss and hypothesize.

Red Band Society: I swear if this one gets cancelled as well, I may just give up on TV all together (probably not but I will write a very strongly worded email). I know I'm probably not it's target market, but I find it uplifting at times and comical at others.

Reign: Now with this one let me preface by saying I know it is very far from historically accurate and I don't care. I like the fact that they are even showing a historical show on regular channels and that they address some historical events.

Grey's Anatomy: Need I say anymore? Ok I will. Now I have been a pretty dedicated fan since the beginning and I will say this season is not one of my favorites but it still has time to improve and add more twists as it has in the past. It's especially fun to have watched the characters evolve and welcome new characters.

Scorpion: This one didn't really hook me in the beginning, why I kept watching I don't know but I'm glad I did. The dynamic between all the characters makes me giggle (yes I giggle and am unashamed to admit it) and really get into the show.

Jeopardy: So some wouldn't categorize this as a TV show, but as a game show, but since it's one of my favorites I had to add it. I get supremely excited when I know an answer and the contestants don't, honestly I feel like I just won myself.

Resurrection: I got into this show when I saw a preview for this season during the end of summer. So I caught up on what it was all about before the new season started and whoa with the mystery. Where did they come from? Why are they really here? So many questions and I need answers so I must continue to watch.

Arrow: Both L's dad and I are huge superhero fans, we've seen Guardians of the Galaxy twice (and if you have kids you know that is really a lot before a movie is even out on DVD), same with Captain America: The Winter Soldier (this one I technically have only seen once since the first time L was a month old and it was our first time going out without him and I fell asleep in the theater). Back to Arrow though, I find that it flows nicely along the plot and story line. It honestly makes me wish I could be a superhero.

Shark Tank: This show makes me think I could invent something that the world is currently without or improve something and make millions ( I know I probably can't but this show gives me hope). I love the banter among the sharks and seeing some of the great products that people come up with (or not so great). I have actually searched for some of the products just to see what prices are and if they are affordable. I know a couple of people that swear by groove book and so far that is probably the most affordable one I have found. The only reason we don't use it is because L's dad works for a photo printing company.

Bones: I have been a fan since basically the beginning and continue to find the show enjoyable.Plus it has moments of comedy gold. I typically enjoy any show that has some mystery that has to be solved. When I was a kid my mother and I used to watch Murder She Wrote religiously, ok fine I still watch a rerun here and there, and maybe that's where my love of mystery comes from and I relate it to those great times with my mom.

Criminal Minds: Again another mystery that I get hooked into, plus the fact that Shamar Moore isn't half bad to look at. I love Penelope and her kitten photo/video needs.

Law and Order SVU: I have loved Law and Order since I can remember when they started doing spin offs of the original my love grew. Now SVU is really the only one left, and I miss original Law and Order, but SVU is the one that made me want to go into criminal justice when I was younger (I am an education major but still have love of the law).

I'm going to combine two since they fall under the mystery category: CSI and Castle, both fill my need of a good mystery to solve.

The Originals: This one probably makes me sound like a 15 year old school girl, but I'm ok with that. It's my guilty pleasure. It's just one of those shows I can sit and get into and really just enjoy.

Jane the Virgin: When I first saw the previews for this show I laughed and thought I would never watch it. Rewind to a random Friday night and I'm bored, L's in bed early and S (his dad) is still at work, this show comes on and I'm in the middle of doing homework (horrible habit but it's become background noise for me). I have no idea where the remote is and at that point I don't really care since I figure I'm not going to be watching anyway. An hour later I was hooked, it's like a well acted soap opera and cute girl next door show all wrapped into one.

The Flash: I'm not 100% sure on this one yet, it's not hooking me quite like Arrow has. I'm still giving it a chance and will definitely watch this season.

New Girl and The Mindy Project: I put these two together since they are back to back and I find both to be comedy GOLD!! I have fallen off the couch while watching New Girl and basically stopped breathing from laughter while watching Mindy.

The Amazing Race: Fun story I used to hate this show and think it was ridiculous, but when I moved back into my mom's house she would watch the show every week and so if I wanted to stay in the living room I had to watch it as well. So fast forward a couple weeks and I'm sitting there routing for one of the couples trying to get my mom to come over to my side since her favorite was just eliminated. This all brings me back to the Murder She Wrote idea that I adopt some favorite shows by the enjoyment I get spending time with my mom.

Share with me some of your favorites and please if you are going to comment with any spoilers label them as such so those that haven't watched can avoid them or if they are like me can search for them.
