Long Time Gone

So…I’m back! It’s been almost a year since I’ve blogged about my fabulous TiVo, but that certainly doesn’t mean I’ve fallen out of love. Quite the opposite! My boyfriend (TiVo) and I have only grown stronger and my TV watching is still as insane as ever!

So where should I start? I’m certainly not going to cover the entire last year and all of my thoughts, so I guess its best to start over. But this will be a pretty long day in posts and I write bits and pieces between real work that I should be doing while AT work!

I think I will first start with my new love of TV DVDs. Of course I’ve been watching my episodes of Sex and the City (SATC) on DVD for years, but I think it’s just great that you can watch anything and everything on DVD these days. That’s how I started watching LOST and Nip/Tuck and that’s now I’m in the middle of 24 and Grey’s Anatomy. I also found a show when I was living in London for a month called Peep Show and that’s on DVD too! It’s really awesome. I think if there are any sets that I’d really like to get on DVD to sit next to my new SATC box set that I got (yes…even though I have every other season separately), would be That 70’s Show and Friends. I think as many times as I’ve seen each episode of all of the shows, I can keep watching them over and over.

So let’s talk about my new favorite TV show. Yes, I know I’m late on the bandwagon, but you have to understand…I just watch SO much stuff, when this show came on, I just didn’t have the time to squeeze another one in there in my schedule! So, Grey’s Anatomy, LOVE IT! I mean seriously, who doesn’t love a nighttime soap opera with a great cast and constant drama?! I actually knew this show was going to be good, but it was one of those things I put off to wait for the DVD so I could start from the beginning. Glad I did and glad I started TiVoing this season’s show so I’ll but fully caught up in about a week or so. I knew so well ahead of time that I was going to like this show, that whenever any magazine/entertainment show has said something about each season, I just shut it off or close the magazine. So lucky for me, I have resisted the temptation of finding out anything so the DVD watching experience has been great! So great that I’m exhausted today because I stayed up so late watching it and started right when I got home from work yesterday! I’ve actually done the same thing with 24. Sort of. I have heard through the grapevine that the President dies, but other than that, it’s a pretty exciting show as well. I must say though, it’s just not the same for me as Grey’s Anatomy. While 24 is exciting and suspenseful, I just can’t get “into” it like I can the drama or teen angst shows. I have only watched the first 2 seasons of 24 and will do my best to catch up to season 6 by the time it starts. We’ll have to see!

So yes, TV on DVD is such a great thing! One of these days I also plan on starting The Office and Monk. I’m afraid that is just going to have to wait until next summer!
