Teatopia

It's hard not to be a couch potato with so many great fall shows!

Lately, I'm finding myself on the couch or in bed watching TV waaaayyyy too often. I'm just so tired and worn out and it's so relaxing to watch TV. Olivia usually requires my undivided attention, but when she's interested in something else, these days I tend to plop down on the couch and turn on the TV. Same thing at night. When she's asleep, into bed I go and on goes the TV. It's mindless and relaxing. What could a pregnant woman with a toddler to chase all day want more? (Maybe some hot fudge cake, but I'm trying not to go crazy. Pants are feeling snug already).

This fall, I seem to be watching more shows than ever. Some new, some not. Here are the ones I try to catch:

Grey's Anatomy
Duh. One of my favorites for sure. I'm even getting James hooked. *mwahhh hahahaha* Love all the drama and the medical stuff, too. I never miss this one.

Life is Wild
Thank you Ani for e-mailing me about this one, or else I never would've known it was on. I don't watch much on the CW, so thank you, thank you! If you don't know about this one, it's about about a family that decides to move to a game reserve in South Africa for a year. Obviously, right up my alley. When I saw the pilot, the show kind of bothered me. It was the epitome of the "American" perspective of Africa. You know, elephants in the back yard. Constant animal encounters. Happy-go-lucky villagers interacting with animals and selling souvenirs. But it was a fun show, and when I watched the second episode today which I recorded on my DVR last night, I liked it even more. I think it'll be a regular, if for no other reason than it's about South Africa.

Law & Order SVU/Criminal Intent
I like that I can miss an episode or two of these and I don't fall behind. These are always fun.

CSI
Same with these. I can watch sporatically and never really miss anything. These are fun and I love figuring them out.

Jon and Kate, Plus 8
Ok, we are Jon and Kate, minus 7 kids. We bicker and scold each other just like they do. It cracks me up to watch Kate and her rituals and super organized ways because I feel like I'm watching myself, although I have less reason to want such order in my house. James is just like her husband. He's compliant, but really, he's thinking I'm anal and crazy. :-)

Dog the Bounty Hunter
Love this show. My sister got me hooked. At first I thought Dog was crazy, but now I find him amusing. He's a decent guy. I enjoy watching the chase.

Other notables: Either I haven't decided what I think or I haven't seen all the episodes, but they're worth mentioning: Journey Man, Heroes (James loves this one), Little People Big World, and Private Practice.

Then of course, there's the Food Network, Discovery Channel, TLC, and other channels that I watch, but don't stick to specific shows.

What are you watching this fall? Anything I should see?
