TV Quirks & Peeves

1. Why do channels like TNT and TBS think it is so freaking fabulous to put the same movie on 3 days in a row with three chances to watch? Is it really necessary?

2. Why do these same channels brag that it’s a big premiere movie and the movie is 7+ years old? Can’t we get something a tad bit recent? Maybe 3 years ago?

3. Don’t you hate when there is a show that you never really watch so you put it on and it happens to be the ONE episode that you have already seen on the one time you did watch?

4. Reality TV shows – really don’t care for them. Survivor, Bachelor yada yada gag.

5. LOST is OFF TILL FEBRUARY. This one pisses me off the most. FEBRUARY? I was annoyed with them already and now… pfft, I am not watching when it comes back. [bite me, I will NOT]

6. Law & Order SVU ROCKS so does the original Law & Order but Law & Order Criminal Intent can’t stand VINCENT D’ONOFRIO and by can’t stand I mean detest. He annoys the shit out of me.

7. Weeds is a must watch. If you don’t, you need too. If you, do you miss it too.

8. Denny Krane, Dr. Christian Troy and Dr. Mc Steamy are a must – MUST people, you must watch them and love them.

9. I couldn’t live without my DVR, seriously. I watch everything after the DVR has taped it so that I can speed watch. Love it. Don’t know how I lived without it.

10. New Adventures of Old Christine – GREAT. Some Elaine going on and yet not, tons of goodness. Really I could keep going but I have work to do ;)

OMG. #3 happens to me all the time. I’m not kidding. It drives me crazy.

I don’t like most reality shows, though I did indulge myself with The Surreal Life. That series is train wreck that is too good to pass up.

I quit watching Lost a while back. I shouldn’t have, because I LOVE Naveen Andrews. But the show just couldn’t hold my interest this season (and most of last season, too)

I do love Grey’s Anatomy, but will have to wait to get it on DVD or something, because I never watch it anymore. I forget when it’s on.

I think what the channels mean by ‘premiere’ is that it’s the first time it’s being shown on their network. But I’m not sure.

#3 also happens to me quite often, only I get really lucky and see the same show sometimes two or three times. Not that I watch the show or anything, but I always find it so odd that I catch the same one over and over again.

The only reality tv show that I watch is the Apprentice, that one I heart, the rest Ick!

You know what pisses me off? The Sopranos. When they go on hiatus, it’s for a year, year and a half or more.

I love Denny Krane & Dr. Christian Troy, they are a must for me.

#7… OMG… I could NOT agree more… I CANNOT stand him!! I didn’t think anyone else agreed with me. LOL
