growing up i was never a big tv watcher [unlike my sisters]. i guess i was more of a book reader. then, in college, i felt like i was too busy to watch tv. or maybe i was too uptight. i could never unwind enough to sit down and really watch a show. then, i graduated, got married, and we had cable... it was like a whole new world opened up for me. now, i have multiple favorite shows i look forward to watching every week. most people are excited about football season starting up this fall...forget football, i'm just excited about season premieres.
1 // the mindy project - this show has to be the funniest show i've ever watched, by far. i fell in love with mindy kaling on the office, and now she hits it out of the ball park with every single episode on the mindy project. plus, she always finds herself in awkward, embarrassing situations, which i feel i can relate to, so it makes me feel better about myself.
2 // new girl - new girl comes on fox right before the mindy project. i love that its a show that scofield and i can enjoy together. three of the main characters are guys, so there is definitely more humor he can relate to. plus, who doesn't love zooey deschanel!?
3 // grey's anatomy - it's embarrassing how quickly i soured through ten seasons of this show on netflix. although, it did keep me fresh on my medical terminology for my nutrition internship. so, that makes watching it kind of like studying...right!?
4 // the office - of course this one made the list ... it's such a classic. it took me a while to get into it, but once i did, i was hooked! scofield and i have watched certain episodes over and over .. it seriously never gets old. plus, jim and pam. i mean...
5 // house of cards - this show is a netflix original series. season one and two are out, and i'm on the edge of my seat waiting for season 3! just about every episode left me with my jaw wide open. you seriously never know what to expect, which is so unlike most shows out these days. it is definitely more of a risque show, though, and there are inappropriate scenes that you may want to move past, fyi.
what are you favorite shows to watch? i'd love to know and try them out, too!
hope your week is going well!
- If you like The Office, I would suggest Parks and Recreation! The first season is a little slow (a la The Office) but it's so hilarious once you get past the initial awkwardness. It's also super quotable!
ReplyDelete- My husband and I were also really into Revolution, but unfortunately it's been canceled. I believe you can still watch it via netflix though.

scofield and i started watching revolution when it started, because we were huge lost fans and i think the producers are the same? we haven't stayed up with it, we'll atleast have to finish out the seasons! sad to hear its off the air
DeleteI've seen The Mindy Project, The Office, and New Girl as well! I would highly recommend Brooklyn 99 or Community - B99 is my favorite sitcom right now.

oh, i've heard brooklyn 99 is great! we are definitely going to have to try it out!
DeleteI am a HUGE Office fan. My boyfriend and I watch an episode or two almost every night before we go to bed - it's safe to say that we're obsessed. It just gets funnier and funnier each time you watch it.
ReplyDeleteI need to try House of Cards! It sounds like a great show.

yes! isn't the office hilarious!? we're slightly obsessed too ;)...
DeleteI could not agree more with all of these shows!!! Such a good selection. House of Cards is my guilty pleasure for sure, I can hardly wait for season three!
ReplyDeleteme too! they need to hurry up with it already! :)
DeleteI have heard that the Mindy Project and New Girl are both really good, but I have never watched either of them! I need to check them out. I am always looking for good shows to watch on Netflix!

yes, you've got to. they're the best! :)
Deleteohhhh i love the mindy project too! i also like mike + molly, downton abby, and lots of shows on the food network/cooking channel! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeletethe food network channel is the best!
DeleteI'm not a big tv watcher. In fact I didn't start watching until recently this year and I started with the mindy's project. I was seriously so sad when I watched all the seasons available on Comcast because I knew there is no other show as funny as that one. Glad to see someone likes it too!
ReplyDeletei know.. i think its gotta be one of the funniest shows out! love fellow mindy fans! :)
Deletezooey is the best, agreed. i love new girl. as far as recommendations... dawson's creek, buffy the vampire slayer, the following, the killing, the x files. those are all kind of dark haha, but for comedies modern family and friends! if you haven't watched friends it's a must see!

Deleteliterally the PERFECT lineup!
ReplyDeleteHouse of Cards is SO good! I’m still on the first season, but hooked!
ReplyDeleteisn't it!? it reels you in!
DeleteI adore Mindy Kaling and the Mindy Project- she is such a fab lady! And it's funny that you mentioned Grey's because my sister and I just got hooked on it and have been binge watching it on Netflix. It's sooooooo good!
ReplyDeletesooooo good!! i basically binge watched through 10 seasons, so i totally understand!
