Some Great Shows That Have Kept Me Entertained
This is a tough list, mainly because I can never think of which shows I am currently watching or have watched. Giving it careful attention I think I have come up with a solid list.

I really enjoy your list and your insights into why you like particular shows. We share an passion for Dexter and I think it'll show in our discussions for the class.
ReplyDeleteNice list, Chris! And yes, it's hard to come up with one because our ties to TV are so flexible, and our interests wax and wane according to, well, a LOT of things. Thus, this class! "Sunny" should be on mine, under "Shows I Can Never Find" or "Shows I Always Forget About Even Though My Best Students Are Raving About Them." I tell ya what, tho: a year or so ago I watched the first two minutes of the first episode (on Hulu, natch)and was blown away by the framing of the female character as she entered, what, a bar? I think the image froze on my computer (I know I didn't do it on purpose) and you could tell that the framing was deliberate and meaningful. So you'd think I'd be watching it on a regular basis, right? Go figure...
ReplyDeleteDude love Californication....probably the only show I regularly watch now. My roommates made me watch all those Ramseys shows and there not that bad but I can't believe some of these so called chefs cannot cook chicken under pressure.
ReplyDeleteCalifornication. Best show on TV for our age group hands down.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of shows on your list I wish I could watch.....if only I had HBO or faster internet!
