Forget Reality

My last post was quite a dose of reality. I decided my next post needed to be fun and nothing more. So, here it is. I'm not a big fan of reality television. I feel as though I get reality on a daily basis. You know, seeing as how I'm alive and all. I am not one of those that enjoy watching reality television in order to feel better about my own life because usually I only come away feeling A. Ashamed for watching the reality show. B. Full of hatred for those that are on the show because they seem to be a waste of space. C. Confused because I can't figure out why the show was supposed to be entertaining in the first place. D. Saddened because those on the show lead me to wonder what is happening to mankind. E. All of the above. I think that there are some great shows on television right now that don't include Simon Cowell, dancing, unintelligable talking that requires captions at the bottom of the screen, cook offs, Jon & Kate (yes, I once watched this show until their reality made me want to seek therapy), men and women who are famous for some unknown reason, and those that are willing to humiliate themselves for a quick buck. Here are a few shows that are entertaining and worth the space on my dvr. I will not go in to detail about The Office because I don't need to.

Modern Family, ABC, 9, Wednesdays, I laugh out loud every week.

Chuck, NBC, 8, Mondays, It's now season 3 and I'm so happy NBC got a clue and moved Leno back to his time slot in order to bring the show back sooner. I love the music, the wit and the characters.

White Collar, USA, 10, Tuesdays, This show is quite funny and the premise is not tiresome. It's found a home on my tv.

Burn Notice, USA, 10, Thursdays, This show has been on a while and it continues to keep me watching. Very action packed though still makes you laugh.

Scrubs Med School, ABC, 9, Tuesdays, I've always been a fan of Scrubs and I have found that I enjoy this new cast almost as much as the old. Some of the old characters are still on the show which makes it a must see. I also tend to download a lot of the music from this show.

Parks and Recreation, NBC, 8:30, Thursdays, I've watched this show since the beginning and let me say that this season has been awesome. I hope this show stays on because it is hilarious. I have quoted several lines from this season.

Community, NBC, 8, Thursdays, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this show. I guess I wasn't sure about the premise but the writers have pulled it off as well as the actors. I think every episode gets better and better and it never hurts to have Jack Black as a guest star.

Men of a Certain Age, TNT, 10, Mondays, I literally just started watching this show this week. I found that I really enjoyed it. Though it has a serious nature at times, it still manages to make you laugh. Well done, TNT.

A few shows that aren't on right now but coming back:

Royal Pains, USA, I think the premise of this show is just fantastic. I know the doctor stuff is probably not possible in real life but it still makes for great entertainment. I also think the characters are super funny and just plain likeable.

In Plain Sight, USA, I like how there is a new character every week and though it is another "crime drama", it's still different. A female U.S. Marshall that is a smart a** and good with a gun. I like it. USA has got it going on when it comes to some programming.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, FX, This show is crazy. The characters are deplorable and the lowest of the low but still they are wonderfully written and the funniest of the funniest. Do I feel horrible for laughing at their jokes? For a brief second and then I go back to laughing.

Happy watching!!!
