List Wednesday: TV Shows

Adam and I have a few tv shows we're watching this year. I don't think we've ever watched this many shows live. We usually are watching them after the series or season is over. It's kind of hard to have to wait each week for a new episode. I like watching marathons of shows with no commercials! Instant gratification is awesome.

1. Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
Taking place in the 1920's during prohibition, this show is about power and corruption in Atlantic City (also featuring side stories in New York and Chicago). We started watching this last spring (downloaded). Adam thinks this season is kind of boring, so we're a few episodes behind. I love it though. It even inspired our Halloween costumes this year!

2. Dexter (Showtime)
Pretty much our favorite show ever. It's about Dexter, a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide, who is also a serial killer on the side. He only kills people that meet his rigid criteria of bad people though. It's fascinating!

3. The Walking Dead (AMC)
I love zombies and zombie movies so was super excited to find out about a tv series about zombies. I mean, what could be better? It's a little predictable and poorly done at times, but fun to watch even if sometimes it's a little grotesque. Zombie intestines anyone? It's one of our favorite shows.

4. Desperate Housewives (ABC)
Oh the drama queen housewives of Wisteria Lane. I've been watching this show since it's second season (of course after catching up on the first season). It's kind of ridiculous, but pretty funny. Adam actually watches this with me as well.

5. Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
While Grey's Anatomy may take place in a hospital, it's more about the relationships between the medical staff and the stories with the patients. It's been kind of icky lately and I've had to avert my eyes. I've also been watching this show since it's second season after catching up on the first. It's silly, unbelievable and overly dramatic, but entertaining. Adam started watching this with me a few years ago too.

I can't wait for Mad Men (AMC) to start up again in the spring. Another show I really like is The Tudor's (Showtime), but I can't get Adam to watch it with me so I'm a few seasons behind.
