I don't watch much prime time tv during the week (with the exception of my hour of power on soap net), but when Sunday rolls around, I am a couch potato from 8pm on! The tv marathon begins with The Amazing Race at 8pm...a great show...Tash and John, I fuly expect to be watching you race around the world one day! We are only two episodes into this season, so I can't really comment much about the current cast of characters, but last season was very entertaining!
Then at 9pm, the drama starts. Big Love. Oh Bill, how can one person deal with so much, and why would anyone want more than one wife!?!? Geesh!! This season, the challenges facing the family are borderline ridiculous and almost too much....almost...still very, very entertaining. Nikki Grant is my favorite wife, and I think this is because she is the most stereotypical Mormon wife in the bunch. True Confession: I don't know why, but I am obsessed with Mormons on TV. I hope this is not offensive, because there is really no offense intended. No judgment, at all, and I can't quite explain it, but I am just intrigued by anything Mormon on TV. It all began with a documentary on PBS, The Mormons, detailing the history and modern day experience of Mormons...it was fascinating. Then came the whole Texas compund raid, and my obsession deepened. I felt a need to learn all that I could about this group and their way of life, so, of course I watched the Oprah expose. Okay, so this may be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I really am fascinated by the culture and their practices. I say, who are we to interfere...let Bill and the gang be!!!
Finally, the evening culminates with the show that lately makes me cry almost every week...Brothers and Sisters. Sally Field looks like my mom. That really has nothing to do with anything, but it just happens to be true. Great show, good drama, and Rob Lowe...just doesn't get any better.
So, it is 8:19 and I am half writing, half watching The Amazing Race... I fear I am not multi-tasking well as my attention is definitely split here...time to go!
Things I Like...Sunday SUNDAY (ala Al Roker) night TV!!!
