Television

I go in phases with my television watching.  I'll make up my mind that I'm ready to give up cable, we cancel anything but the smallest cable package, and then a few months later I'm trying to convince Mr. GV that I *need* to watch "19 Kids and Counting."  lol Just a wee bit irrational. 

But lately something's changed.  I'm much more resolved about not watching as much TV.  I just......don't wanna.  So I got rid of several of my season passes on Tivo.  And I've made a vow to not set any new* season passes.  That is a big deal for me. *Note--I will make one exception for a new season pass, and that is for "Big Bang Theory" when it starts in syndication this summer.  I told Mr. GV I would watch it with him, and I'm keeping my promise. 

So what do I currently watch?

1.  Chuck--Mr. GV and I watch together.  It will have 13 episodes in it's last season this fall, and I'm not replacing it.

2.  Saturday Night Live--I enjoy some good snarky, topical TV every now and then.  For now I will keep this timer, but it might be on the chopping block as well.

3.  Desperate Housewives--Haven't decided if I will continue to watch this in the fall. 

4.  Good Eats--I only watch an episode of this every now and then, because I skip the meat-based episodes.

5.  Psych--Another show Mr. GV and I watch together.

6.  Mad Men--Not giving this one up, as I adore it.  If we get rid of cable, this will be one of the few shows I will be anxiously awaiting from Netflix.

7.  Aarti Party--We love Indian food, so I occasionally watch an episode of this on Food Network.

8.  Mike and Molly--Mr. GV and I watch together.

9.  The Sing-Off--Mr. GV and I watch together and it only lasts for a couple weeks a year.

10. Season 25:  Oprah Behind the Scenes--Have enjoyed this look behind the curtain and it will be over soon.

11.  19 Kids and Counting--Thinking of getting rid of this one as well.  (Kicked Kate Plus 8 to the curb recently.)

12.  Days of Our Lives--This is something I have watched on and off since I was young, due to my mom watching it.  For now it's staying.  I admit I also half watch it sometimes, because I usually have my laptop out at the same time. 

Wow--that looks like a lot of TV.  Of course, some of these are fall shows and some are summer, so I'm not watching tons each week.  This coming week, for instance, will have 5 hours of TV. 

How does Mr. GV feel about this?  Well, I don't think he cares too much.  He is probably expecting me to flip-flop about it in the near future.  lol  But I'm hoping not.  I'll report back here occasionally on how it's going.
