I watch almost nothing! I like The Simpsons and Family Guy. I really miss King of the Hill. Anything else I see is mostly music vids/concerts. I get stuck having to hear a lot of SpongeBob Squarepants and Power Rangers because this is what my son likes. My husband likes Scare Tactics. I have to say, he'd be a perfect person to be put on that show!

The shows that i found most entertaining (to me atleast) got cancelled:
Swingtown and Invasion

Shows im looking forward to watching every week:
United States of Tara Buck and T are my favorite
Dexter thank god rita is dead..thank you! thank you!..my sister felt the same way i did about her lol..but then again it is sad that she died and its all because of dexter
Weeds this show never fails me..i remember my mother made us (my sister and i) stop watching it because she thought it was all about drugs..imagine the look i gave her. it was like her telling me that i couldn't watch sex and the city when i was younger..but i still watched it anyway..
CSI: Miami...Horatio Caine <3 (Max Payne as my father likes to call him)
CSI: NY..best theme song out of all of them, and CSI:
NCIS and Criminal Minds love Abby and I miss AJ Cook in Higher Ground..
Heroes: couldn't watch most of this season because One Tree Hill, House, and Heroes comes on all at the same time =[
Law and Order: SVU..i can't stand Criminal Intent for some reason
Grey's and Private Practice
the Secret Life
Degrassi: it use to be really good but now its kinda repetitive but i still can't stop watching it.
Idol: i love ellen degeneres and i watch her show everyday so im curious of how this is gonna turn out.
Oprah..if u dont like/love her there is something wrong with you.
Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown joe reminds me of my grandfather..i imagine if they ever meet each other they would be like best friends
Attack of the Show: Olivia Munn =]
Ninja Warrior
and Hoarders..the first episode with Augustine was sooo terrible how the hell can anyone live like that and she didnt even know that she had 3 dead cats buried underneath of the trash she had in her house. and here was another lady who hoarded food (the only way she will not eat the food is if its puffy..even if it expired years ago)..i absolutely love the part of the episode where the guy gets a little sarcastic when she asks "whats the worst that could happen?" "You can get food poisoning and you will die.."

Kid stuff:
iCarly and old episodes of Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, The Jersey, So Weird (Mackenzie Phillips is still completely amazing to me no matter how ****ed up she is), and every other old disney channel shows before it got really really ****ty on me and every actor, for some reason, believes that they can sing.. Alexz Johnson is kinda the original disney channel actor/singer who actually has talent..got nothing against Miley Cyrus tho..

I used to watch So Weird when it was brand new. I enjoyed it very much. But at that time its schedule was inconsistant. Sometimes it wouldn't be aired for a month and then they would show two episodes and then it would disapeer for three weeks and then they changed the time slot and then one new episode and then gone for four weeks and, and, and you get the idea, so I just gave up.

From your description Hoarders sounds like an interesting show. What network is it on? Since we are both on the east coast, what time is it on as well?

And lastly when you talked about the show Dexter(which I've never seen) first you said you were glad Rita died and in the next sentence you said it was sad that she died. Which one is it?
Whenever I am glad to see a character die, I never regret the desicion to off them(in my mind).

Plus, why do they all use that damn handheld camera technique & the frequent zooms in & out? Cinematography is a virtually dead craft in the United States. The cameramen are a bunch of boys with no individuality or taste.

Oh, I forgot about Mad Men! Love it. Also forgot about True Blood (I met Charlaine Harris this summer!) and The Tudors (guilty pleasure, the history is so bad!), although I have to wait for these on DVD. I also caught the latest Spooks (MI-5 in the US) series on YouTube.

Hoarders comes on A&E.. if u have on demand you should definately watch augustine first.

So Weird: that show started in err '98 or '99 when i was 5 or 6. i use to watch it when it came on at night (i think it was before the Walt Disney presents thing came on or something cuz i used to watch that too).. so i had no idea what the time slot was or when new episodes were coming on =\

p.s. if you want any of the songs from that show i have them all

and the Rita thing.. i was glad to see the character go because she annoyed the hell out of me. i wasn't sad for her i was sad for dexter because it was kind of his fault because if he had never been around she wouldn't of had to die. So i dont regret that she got offed but i do regret that her kids have to go through that

Rita had to go- she spoiled all of the fun! I think Julie Benz is a terrific actress (with a great boob job!), but Rita as a character was insufferable. Unfortunately I think she will be returning in future episodes as a figment of Dexter's imagination (like Harry). But I have to admit I felt elated to see her sitting there in a bathtub full of her own blood!
I don't think that Rita will come back as a figment of Dex's imagination in future episodes, because it wouldn't really make sense.

In my opinion, the Harry in Dexter's head isn't really Harry. It's like the Dark Passenger wearing Harry's face, just another aspect of Dexter's personality or psyche. You'll notice over the progression of the seasons, we first see Harry in actual memories, but once Dexter realizes that the code might not actually be the right thing, Harry switches from a memory to an active thing that Dexter has arguments with.

But the code is what allowed Dexter's Dark Passenger to keep doing what he was doing without any fear of repercussions or backlash. Going back to the code would be the ideal situation for the part of Dexter that just wants it to be easy so he can keep killing. When Dexter begins taking risks that go against the code, he finds himself struggling with not getting caught even more & Harry starts showing up in his head to point out what he's doing wrong and try to push him into going back to the old ways.

The writers may choose to bring back Rita in Dex's head, but I would find that hokey and rather like fan-service. MAYBE if they swapped Harry for Rita now, and had Rita trying to goad him back to the old ways, that might be okay for me - because then, instead of Harry pointing out what COULD happen, Rita could point out what DID happen. She'd have more ammo and be a harder thing to ignore or defy.

Besides, Julie Benz must be awful tired of getting killed off and then having to come back to give important life advice to her character's loved ones. Though I suppose that, at the very least, she won't have to try to talk Dexter out of killing an innocent girl he nabbed in an alley so Deb can give birth to a fully-grown Gina Torres with maggots on her face.

you win at dexter. and life.

the way i was thinking, it seems as though dexter is pushing away from the code of harry and the dark passenger, but now he is going to need guidance with the whole Family Man aspect of his life in rita's absence. so hejira's suggestion didn't seem to wacky.

however, i hear that julie benz's contract is done, and your analysis is pretty much 150% awesome.

I never thought anything would replace Colin Firth's Pride and Prejudice as my favorite period miniseries, but...

Also Return to Cranford starts here in the US on PBS tonight. I'm looking forward to it!
