Shows to get excited about!

TVOk so I'm not one of those people who's lives revolve around TV. That being said I am addicted to several shows! Having a DVR is amazing to say the least, which is really why I'm able to catch up on so many of my favorites. I just record them all and watch them when I get the chance. Like in the mornings getting ready for work my vice is "King of Queens" reruns. (It used to be Friends but now that I've seen every single episode at least 20 times and can literally quote scenes back to you, really try me!, I have to admit it got a little old)

So here are a few shows that I can't wait for! (well I can but I'm really excited!)

First thing first....drum roll please......The Vampire Diaries.


Not only are the actors visually appealing....mmmm give me a moment.....oh sorry... but they can also act! Which is more than I can say for Twilight. And the story is actually pretty good. It's basically about two brothers, Stephen and Damon, that fell in love with the same girl back in the 1800's. This "girl" was a vampire and changed them both. They both wanted her to themselves and because of this they were constantly fighting. This girl, Catherine, ends up dying (we're still a little iffy on what actually happened here) and leaves them both obviously as vampires. They go their separate ways for oh about 150 years and both end up coming back to their home town in Virgina. Enter Elena, a beautiful girl who lives there and oddly enough looks exactly like Catherine! Her and Stephen hit it off and oh it gets a bit steamy. All the while Damon is making both their lives a living hell. Theres also a story line about Elena's younger brother Jeremy that is dealing with drug addiction stemmed from the loss of their parents who died in a car crash. Elena's best friend Bonnie is finding out that she's a witch and they did some foreshadowing at the end of the fall finale about a possible werewolf.
Honestly it's so worth watching! It's actually based on a book series from the 90's which of course I read as soon as I found that out! I think the show is waaay better than the books which is rare, but they did change up a bunch of things which I think was an improvement. Anyways watch it aaaaand you're welcome! PS) the new episodes start Thursday January 21st

Next up is Glee....


At first I wasn't sure about this and it took me a while to get into it. I actually missed a few episodes during the season but when I came back to it I was able to figure out what happened. This is a feel good show, it's about a high school Glee club who are trying to make it to nationals in order to be able to keep their club. With budget cuts and what not they're constantly at risk of getting shut down. The kids are a motley crew of students including some cheerleaders and jocks that basically joined the club to help the cheer leading coach spy on them. She's a piece of work but a very funny character. My favorite parts of the show though are when they sing, they do some cool mixes and performances....definitely worth taking a look. Season two begins in April.


And then of course there is True Blood! Hey it's HBO you really can't go wrong.

I don't think ones coming back until Summer though so we have a while to go....boooo


Then there's Dexter


This one just finished it's 4th season and won't be back until September. It's pretty great though. I think the writing and over all ideas are pretty original. It's about a blood pattern expert who works for the Miami police department. He's a closet serial killer but he only kills people that have killed people, he has this whole code thing. He's also haunted by the ghost of his adopted father, although it's not so much haunted as it is his own mind conjuring up his father when he's talking to himself. If you've ever seen six feet under it's the same idea. The way they ended the season was unbelievable!!!!!! And I can't wait for more!!! This is also one of the only shows that Dave and I watch together.


Then of course we have American Idol. It premiers on Tuesday January 12th Yay!!!!!



We also have 90210 on the list and this is one of my secret guilty pleasures of course. Now I've never seen the orginal series so I don't have anything to compare and yes this show is pretty cheesey but I can't help myself, and so it made the list! New episodes starting soon!




And last but not least is Grey's Anatomy scheduled to return on January 14th. I have to admit I'm only somewhat interested in Grey's lately, probably because the Vampire Diaries is stealing all my attention on Thursdays, hehe. And I really do miss the days of Denny *sigh*, but it's on my list for a reason so you know I'll be watching it!
