What do YOU watch?

So...here goes:

My name is Laura, and I'm a TV-aholic.

Okay, now that we're past that, I was thinking about all the shows we love to keep up with, and wondered what YOU liked to watch. Is there a show that you just CAN'T miss? We have been spoiled with DVR, so we can watch our shows whenever we want, but if we didn't have that, I'm afraid we would probably turn our phones on silent during certain shows. Anyway, here's our DVR list:

We both like to watch:
UPDATE: I CAN"T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION HOUSE!
I knew I was going to forget something.
We LOVE House!

24


American Idol


Top Chef


Good Eats


Smallville


The Office


30 Rock


How I Met Your Mother
(although we might drop this one soon...)



Big Bang Theory
(if you have never seen it, you should totally check it out...it's hilarious!)

So You Think You Can Dance
(it's not on now, but I had to mention it)


Chopped
(just started...not sure if I'll keep watching)

Ace of Cakes



Food Network Challenge

Iron Chef



Other Food Network programs definitely not including Rachel Ray
(If I ever hear E-V-O-O again I might scream)



Just for Blair:

Dirty Jobs


Modern Marvels


Shows specifically about fighter pilots and guns and stuff
(blah...)

Shark Week

(some week in July....he can NOT miss this one)


Just for Laura:

Grey's Anatomy



Private Practice
(just starting this one since the Grey's/P-P combo show...thought maybe I'd like it...we'll see)



And I'm debating whether or not to admit this next one:


Gossip Girl
(although since 24 and American Idol started, I've been having to watch it online since we can only record 2 at a time)




Okay, now I'm a little embarrassed. At least I can say that we rarely watch commercials. Does that make this list a little better?

Probably not...

I love Desperate Housewives! It needs to be added to your list! But maybe rent the first season or two in order to be able to fully appreciate the characters... :) I'm having a horrible time NOT watching it while I'm in France this semester-- but it'll be a wonderful treat to catch up with... Just maybe give the 1st season a shot?

Yeah. We got rid of DVR recently to cut back on some expenses (as well as some cable stations) so there is a lot that we don't watch anymore, but we share a lot of the same shows on our list. Here are my NEVER miss shows:

24
Heroes
(both play at the same time now though so we have to switch channels during commercials)

House
Desperate Housewives
Grays AND Private Practice (it's way good too!)
Smallville (this is a NEVER MISS for Adam and me)
Friday Night Lights

I will say though that after switching between Channels for 24 and Heroes last night I told Adam maybe we were getting a little obsessive and that I wanted to start cutting back on my TV. We'll see if I can actually stick to that. Doubt it.

When we had DVR and only one child, our list was probably longer than yours. When it was just the 2 of us, even LONGER.

Goodness, lady, you are addicted! :)

I only have one show: The Biggest Loser. I can't miss it.

Well, I guess you can say I have a few more, since I practically don't go a day without watching: Curious George, Sid the Science Kid, Super Why, and Clifford the Big Red Dog. We're real intense over here, y'know? :)

West loves 24. That is his only addiction show. Me and the kids love American Idol, Survivor (We've watched EVERY season, I almost tried out, we love it that much), John and Kate plus 8, The Duggars, The Office and 30 Rock. Just wait until Cami gets a little older, you'll be surprised how that list will change. (Not the way you'd want it to.) The kids addictive shows are all on Disney Channel or Nick. We are currently watching That's so Raven. Funny how you start enjoying these silly shows.

We're office fans over here! We usually watch in on nbc.com a few days later.

We watch the Office...have seen every episode. I watch SportsCenter (can't believe nobody has mentioned that) and we've watched a couple of episodes of Lie to Me. Sporting events probably don't really count. Bekah watched Extreme Makeover and enjoys an occasional Funniest Home Videos. Ah, lest I forget, sometimes I unwind with an episode of Friends.

My favorite is Biggest Loser...I LOVE it! One of Trent's favorites is Scrubs...we own the first 5 seasons I think... He's usually working when it's on (and it's during Biggest Loser) so we usually watch it online. And here's one that no one's mentioned yet--we like to watch Chuck on Monday nights on NBC...it's a fun one!
