I had big intentions for my blog posts this week but then
life happens and I didn’t even have an opportunity to sit down at the computer.
I’m off today and I’m off Monday – I have to take Mater to the vet for 12:30
then I have a tattoo appointment at 3 for myself. I’m hoping to really sit down
and take time to write some posts over the weekend and on Monday though.
With that being said, I thought I would sit down and
share what I’ve been watching recently on TV. I’m honestly always struggling
for shows but lately have found some that I’ve enjoying.
I thought I’d share what I’ve been watching (and what I
stopped watching recently, too) today.
Shows I’ve Been Watching
For the People
I honestly really skeptical about whether or not I wanted
to watch this. It’s a Shonda Rhimes show and I always find I watch her shows
for the first bit then stop. It’s about both prosecutors and public defenders
in a federal court who handle super high profile cases. It’s only on the second
season and I’m honestly really enjoying it thus far. I hope the quality doesn’t
go downhill as it continues.
Splitting Up
Together
This is another newer show that I was iffy as to whether
or not I’d enjoy it. There’s some episodes I love and some episodes that are just “meh” to me. However, it’s the
ones I love that make it worthwhile. Ellen DeGeneres is one of the executive
producers and it stars Jenna Fischer (if you know me, you know I love The
Office) and Oliver Hudson. It’s about a couple who separates and tries to live
in the same house but alternate weeks of them living in the house – one parent
stays in the house for a week, the other lives in the garage behind the house.
It’s honestly really funny at times and serious at others.
Good Girls
I know a lot of people watched this since it’s on Netflix
now but I’ve been watching it since the pilot episode on NBC. It’s currently on
its second season on NBC. It’s about three moms who all need money for
different reasons and decide to pull off a heist of a supermarket – but the
heist leads to so much more.
Friends
I think everyone on this planet has had to have heard of
Friends at some point, but Friends is one of my two comfort shows (see below
for the other). If I was left on a stranded island for a month and could only
watch one show, it hands down would be Friends.
Gilmore Girls
My other comfort show. I grew up watching Gilmore Girls
and have continued to watch it into adulthood. I’ve watched from the pilot
episode until the end at least five times, even suffering through A Year In The
Life three times just to say that I watched it. It’s such a wholesome show and
I don’t even know what else to say about it.
Parks and
Recreation
I am huge sucker for The Office and had been putting off
Parks and Rec but I have learned quickly that I love it. I’ve watched it from
start to finish twice now and am currently starting a third time on it. It
starts so many great people including Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Rashida
Jones, Retta, Chris Pratt and Adam Scott. It’s a similar setup to The Office,
but it’s based on Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation department instead of Dunder
Mifflin. I 10/10 recommend this show if you need a good laugh!
Parenthood
I’ve watched about halfway through the show once before
but recently decided to try it again. It’s such a wholesome family show. I’ve
turned to it to watch as I’ve stopped watch This Is Us. It starts Lauren Graham,
Dax Shepard, Peter Krause, Mae Whitman and more. It’s about four siblings who
are dealing with life and marital problems, and they all lean on each other.
Shows I Stopped Watching
I won’t go as in detail about plot lines, just why I
stopped watching these shows.
How to Get Away
with Murder
It’s always seemed farfetched to me, but this past season
has gone so far that I can’t return. I might tune in for the series finale but
I couldn’t do this season.
This Is Us
I love This Is Us. It’s such a nice family show and has
so many nice things about it. I just found it way too predictable. I figured
out how Jack out, I figured out the election stuff this season and Kate having
a baby way before any of it actually happened. I just couldn’t do it anymore.
Grey’s Anatomy
I do still PVR this but I skip a lot. I just want to know what happens to Karev and Jo at this
point. I don’t even care about Meredith’s storylines so much anymore.
The Good Doctor
I loved the first season of The Good Doctor but it just
felt like a slippery slope during season two and I can’t get back up the slope.
What shows have
you been watching and which have you stopped? Let me know in the comments!
