    Okay, I'll fess-up. I like "Say Yes, to the Dress." I don't know why. I'm not the least interested in fashion. When I married the first time, my mother told me to go pick out a pattern and my grandmother would make the dress. I didn't know you could buy one ready made. I was the perfect hippy bride of the early '70s. Maybe I like the show because I had so little choice the first time. Undecided

     Well, after watching the latest episode of American Horror last night, I am thinking it is perhaps a bit too graphic for me.....I was sort of drifting in and out of sleep and every time I would open my eyes and look at the screen, there was some sort of violent act going on or a pool of blood and it did not make for good dreams last night.   I really like the Jessica Lang character though.

    Person of Interest, Law & Order UK, Law & Order SVU, Doc Martin, all the mysteries and comedies from BBCA and PBS, Sons of Anarchy, Blue Boods,Terra Nova, Thank God for Netflix. Love British comedies.

    When I was on treatment ages ago, with our support group members we would get a free suite in a 5 star hotel and have a slumber party, it was great, I owe my survival to all this friends,that even than some were terminal were full of love, we all worked together on memory books for them, laugh and tears and a lot of caring made this slumber parties the best.

      I love slumber parties and just finished watching a show I love on demand, Enlightened. The main character is a mess, but really makes a lot of sense with her thinking and some of the characters she works with are really funny.

    I've watched a few black & white "oldies" on TCM lately.  Remember when Turner wanted to "colorize" everything?

    Any Madmen fans out there?  I just recently finished watching the entire 4 seasons on DVDs from the library, and they have to continue this series, they just have to!  We don't have HBO, so I caught up with all the Sopranos the same way.   I also absolutely loved Friday Night Lights.

    My daughter watches all those reality series, Toddlers and Tiaras, 16 and Pregnant (I highly recommend that teenage girls see this show).   Also Sister Wives, LI Medium (who lives right near us), 19 Kids and Counting.  She's gotten me hooked on a lot of these shows.  I now love Say Yes to the Dress, What Not to Wear, and that Gypsy show.

    And of course, every week, I have to see Greys, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives, and Survivor.

    OMG, I LOVE Madmen!  I started watching it the first season and was hooked on it.  

    DWTS, yes, I don't think they're losing the weight like some have done previously.

    Ok, how about "The Big C".  Anyone watch it.  I think its on Showtime.  I just got the 1st season dvds from my library and have seen 5 episodes so far.  I love it.  I hate it.  Am thinking of starting a thread on just this show itself due to the  subject matter.

    rgiuff,  I have seen Long Island Medium.  I kind of like her.  If I lived near you, I would be trying to bump into her "by accident" just to see if she would zero in on me.  My gut instinct says all that is hokey, but you never know.  My husband's cousin lives in Franklin Lakes, NJ where they do the New Jersey Houswives show.  She is Italian...but not like that!!!

     Divine, I love the Big C!!  I love the way she did her bucket list (or at least tried, had some obstacles with the pool)  on the lst season and the 2nd season was even better.....really great surprise ending.  I really liked the neighbor, Marlene.  And it's been nenewed so that is the good news so there will be a 3rd season.  At lst I did not think she fit with her husband at all, but then I got so I liked the guy.  We talked about the show earlier in the thread.  We watched it in MO, Elimar, remember? 

    I guess I need to watch MadMen....my boss has been raving about it for years now. 

    I actually saw Enlightened last night.....usually forget it is on and have to watch it on demand....discovered Boardwalk Empire is on right after it on Mon night so if I watch it then, that would free up my Sunday primetime and I could see how Desperate Housewives are doing this season.

    cp418, I just recently started watching "The Big Bang Theory" (on my sister's recommendation) and was surprised to find out it's pretty funny.

    Marybe, I also think the couple on the Big C seem like an odd match.  I'm only on episode 5, so maybe the husband will grow on me, too.  I like her neighbor, too! And her brother, as he's a TV character that I haven't really seen before.   And you've intrigued me about the second season.  Some stuff on that show, tho, is a bit outrageous. For example,  I don't think the skin doctor would really be remotely interested in her.

      I seem to have a very difficult time staying awake for programs these days....fell asleep watching Glee and woke up to Raising Hope....do any of you watch that show?  It is actually very funny if you like dysfunctional families and boy, are they ever.  Cloris Leachman is the grandmother and she is so funny and I also like just all the characters.  Now I am going to go doze on and off through Parenthood.  

    Oh re Kathy and the doctor in the Big C.....you will discover she is appealing to quite a few men as the series goes on.  Did you see her in Kinsey?...I think she is a really good actress.

      I ended up staying awake until 4 AM, after my initial dozing, watching several shows on demand and two movies.  I was going to quit watching American Horror for sure, Elimar, when I thought they blew up that little dog in the microwave....thought OK, that does it, enough of this show.......but I had to watch the episode to see how it ended and found out it was tomotoes the woman blew up.   Whew!  I am afraid if I didn't work at all, I would spend days doing nothing but watching tv.....there are new series on there that I have never even heard of.

    Like' Madmen', Breaking Bad' and all Law and Order' shows. Also like the gritty dramas - 'The Wire', 'Luther'.  For comedy, like old PBS show 'As Time Goes By' .  Now watching "The House of Eliott' fashion series set in England in the 20s.  Good story, lovely costumes.  And just started ER from the beginning....love it!

    Elimar's pick of the night:  Swampsgiving (on The History Channel)

    Don't think I'd be giving anything away if I guess they'll be serving up gator.

    (p.s.  No offense to my gator-eating swamp sisters.)

    Now I'm intrigued about this Big C show.   I never heard of it before this.

    Elimar,  I usually take my dog for half hour walks and try to vary the terrain.  I could easily stroll over to the LI Medium's block and see if I could run into her, although it would make the walk a bit longer than usual.   And LOL, I had thought the same thing, how great it would be if she felt "something" in my presence.  The show makes me laugh because she looks more like a mobwife than a Medium!

    I watched show #1, season 2 of the Big C on the internet.  I so wish I had Showtime so I could see the whole series.

    Marybe, even tho Laura Linney is quite a popular actress, I have never liked her!  Along with that, I find that much of "The Big C" is complete ridiculousness and removed from reality.  Ha, ha, but the joke's on me because I'm still entertained by it!  I've finished watching the 1st season.

    Jules, I don't get Showtime but was able to get the first season of the big c series from my library.  Maybe you can get it thru your library as well.  Now I have to wait for the second season to come out on DVD; looking forward to it.

    fitzdc, when it came on cable, I started watching all the ER episodes from the beginning, too.  This was a number of years ago.  It's such a good drama.

       Sometimes both Showtime and HBO will have a free weekend.....usually they announce it a few weeks before.   Last night I fell asleep during Private Practice,   tonight only saw half of Letterman before dozing off.   I am finding it to be a good sleep aid, but will have to make myself stay awake for my Sunday night shows.  I did see a little bit of Grimm tonight, but was in and out of the room trying to get some things picked up.....I like the wolf guy who is helping him.

      Last night I went to bed and was going to go right to sleep because shopping wore me out, but of course I turned on the tv.  The Mentalist was on and I always liked that show.....like the star although I don't know what his name is, Simon something.  He used to be in the Guardian and some show I watched before that even.  I was really surprised to see it on Sat. night and it was not a rerun so am wondering when they moved it.  I won't kill myself with Thanksgiving, 3jays....it will be the days after that do when I am finishing up my faux finish on the walls and trying to get the house whipped into shape before the party the following weekend.  

    My father has this huge old TV in the living room with the back that sticks out and I am going to pay someone to come haul off, but I am going to tell my father I sold it and give him $150  which should make him happy.  The agreement was we were to get rid of it when we bought the big flat screen (a year?, maybe it's been two yrs ago) for the family room, but that big thing is still there and very much in the way.   It comes in handy when he is watching Lawrece Welk if I am there on a Sat. night, but I can always go upstairs if there is something I really want to see.

    Well I might as well jump in here as I love TV.

    Right now I am watching Bones, Big Bang Theory, The Good wife, Greys Anatomy, Dexter, Body of Proof, Castle, Two Broke Girls and The New Girl.  I love netflix, you would have to pry my roku box out of my cold dead hands.  So many wonderful series that over the years I have missed and are now available.

    Currently I'm working my way through the Ghost Wisperer, I'm saving all 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for when I have my surgery, haven't watched that start to finish in years. Oddly having it to look forward to kind of helps lol.

    Marybe: we have the old big screens, also.. one in the liv rm; and one, way up on a dresser in out bedroom... i can't see any other tv but them... both  were given to me, when ple got new flat screens. we wouldn't be ABLE to afford the flat screens, but big IS  better!!!... maybe you could put it on craigs list for free to someone.. or the recycle one... im sure there's someone who would be thrilled, like I was when someone gave me mine... just a thought.. you Might not be able to "sneak" that by daddy. i know im SOOO grateful for someione elses cast offs......3jays

    The tv gets a good pic, 3jays, but it just takes up way too much room and weighs a ton. It would take two weighlifters to budge the thing.   Those flat screens have come way down in price and I got a great deal on the one I got for my Dad's family room.  

    So tonight I watched DWTS off and on.....was running in to see who was dancing and then going back to my sorting and trying to clean off the DR table.....did not see Ricki Lake, but did see the other two.  Then I switched over to HBO to watch Enlightened and a friend called whom I have not talked to for awhile and she needed to talk cuz she's got all sorts of crap going on in her life, so even though the tv was on, I missed most of the show.......I am hoping to stay awake long enough so that I can see it at 11.   That's the way HBO and Showtime work, if you miss it one hour, you can always watch it later.  BoardWalk Empire was good last night and so was Hung.  My Dad doesn't get any of the premium stations so I will have a lot of tv to catch up with when I come back from Thanksgiving.......but you can bet I will not be watching Lawrence Welk with him on Sat. night.

    I found all sorts of good things to watch on television tonight while tearing up bread for stuffing and baking pies.   Ist I was watching some movie, but then I wanted to see if Gray's Anatomy was on and I was flipping around since the channels are different #'s here at my Dad's and The Waltons was on....and they were all so young....JohnBoy, Mary Ellen, Jason and Elizabeth....and the little redhead whose name I cannot remember....even the parents were young and I loved the Grandfather.   Then I went to another station and what's on but Gone With the Wind.  I have always thought that Clark Gable was the best looking man in the world and I still do.....right now they are at the part where Rhett threw the glass at Scarlet's portrait after she told him she no long wants to sleep with him and he saw that she had been looking at a picture of Ashley Wilkes.  I am just about done with my kitchen duties for tonight, but am going to have to stay up to watch GWTW.

    Hi all!  Fun thread!!!

    I love Criminal Minds, wish I didn't (it's pretty demented.)  Hoarders makes me clean my house (literally, while I watch it!)  I love The Good Wife and can't wait for it every week!

    I think The Big C is spot on, but I felt like Five was written by people who like to wear pink ribbons but have never been affected by this disease, IMHO.

    Keep this thread running.  I'm going to try Boardwalk Empire because of it!Smile       Janice
