Okay. Like I promised, I am going to do a blog talking about all the shows I watch. Some of them you know about because of my commentaries. Others, you might not know about. But here you go.
There are shows of all different varieties which I watch. Some are scripted, some are reality. And I'll also include shows I watch over the summer.
American Idol is the show I've watched the longest. I started watching this show in 2003, and I thank my cousin Bonny for getting me hooked for life. I always end up rooting for the runner-up, except for seasons 4 and 6, where I rooted for the winner (Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks, respectively). The show discovers undiscovered singing talent and puts them through a competition every week. Last season didn't end in a victory for Adam Lambert, who had been my favorite since the end of the semi-finals round, but it was still a great season. Lots of unexpected turns.
Survivor is the show that changed reality television. I didn't start watching this until 2005 (this coming season, season 20, will be exactly 5 years since I started watching the show), but I've stuck with it pretty much through and through. I was happy with the way the last season ended up (my favorite got eliminated right before the final 3, but after he did, the person I wanted to win won). Next season is "Heroes vs. Villains" and it premieres this Thursday night. And as you know, I do commentary for the show on this blog, so be on the lookout for my thoughts.
The Amazing Race is a show I got into, fell out of touch with, and then got back into. I took 2 seasons off this past season, but I decided to get back into it this past season. It's very unique and a lot of fun to watch. This season ended up being good. Two of my favorite teams since the beginning made the finals, with one of them coming out victorious. The next season premieres next Sunday, Valentine's Day, and since I have no man to hold, that's what I'll be spending the holiday doing.
Grey's Anatomy is my kind of soap opera. I had heard a lot about this show before I started watching it, then decided to start watching it to see what all the hype was about. And I immediately fell in love. I own the first 2 seasons on DVD so I'm caught up, and I need to get the rest of the seasons. I fell out of touch with it seasons 4 and 5 (I did see a few episodes of season 4 tho), but now I'm back in it. It's a great show.
Private Practice, a spin-off of Grey's, is also really good. I wasn't too sure about this show when I heard about, but decided to give it a shot. And I ended up enjoying it. It's another one that I fell out of touch with, but decided to hop back into. It's a great show and I get wrapped up in the petty drama of it all.
Dancing With the Stars is a show I started watching about this time 2 years ago. My grandma got me into it, and now I've only missed one or two episodes per season at the most (I didn't miss any of last season tho). This show takes regular celebrities and shows how good their dancing skills are. This past season didn't end in a victory for singer Mya or model Joanna Krupa, two of the more talented dancers, and was also the first season I didn't vote for the eventual winner at all throughout the season, but it was still a crazy, great roller coaster ride of a season. And I thank my buddies at Idolforums.com (particularly Wallace and Denise) for helping me keep my composure and giving their thoughts.
I Survived a Japanese Game Show is a summer show. I first saw the preview for this show one day in the summer of 2008, and decided to check it out. I missed the first episode for some reason (I think I was working), but watched it online and was instantly hooked. When they renewed it for a second season, I KNEW I had to tune in. And I follow the blog of one of the contestants from this last season, Dan Barbour. If you care to read it, feel free. He has some good stuff to say. My friend Stephie liked him too and she declared the two of us (me and her) "Team Dan". So far there's no word yet on this show being renewed for a 3rd season, but I hope they do renew it because it's always one of the highlights of my summer.
16 and Pregnant is a relatively new show on MTV. My friend Lauren said she liked the show, so I decided to check it out. I've only missed 1-and-a-half episodes of the first season, but I loved it nontheless. And the new season premieres on February 16th, so a week from this coming Tuesday. I will be doing commentary for it on this blog.
Paris Hilton's My New BFF is a show that I will admit I decided to watch out of boredom. There wasn't anything else on TV that night so I decided to give it a try, and I fell in love. This past season was a good one. The eventual winner, Stephen Hampton, was one I liked from the time I started watching, and who I've talked to on Twitter and stickam before. He's SO nice, and he's called me baby and sexy and has told me I'm cute. And the lovely Paris Hilton herself tweeted me back once. She's actually a nice person despite what the tabloids say about her.
The Hills is another one of those shows that I had heard a lot about, but never considered watching until this year. I get wrapped up in the petty drama of it all. I follow several of the cast members on twitter, and two of the more well-known ones, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, follow me (they follow their fans). Heidi's tweeted me back once, Spencer's tweeted me 4 times and also gave me a shoutout on Ustream. And two of the tweets and the Ustream shoutout were him telling me that he loves me. When I told my friend Wallace that he said "wow, that's actually nice of Spencer. I didn't know he had that side to him".
Teen Mom, the spin-off of 16 and Pregnant, is also a good show. The show features 4 of the original girls from 16 and Pregnant as they navigate their first year of motherhood. One of the girls, Farrah Abraham, is from my home state, so I sort of have a connection there.
Saturday Night Live is another show that I never watched until now, but have heard a lot about. You know I do commentary on it on this blog. I started watching this show in October 2009, and I love it. I grew up watching variety shows like "All That" and "The Amanda Show", so I just naturally love SNL as well.
That's all for now, I hope you enjoyed my rambling.
Love y'all,
