30 Days… My favorite show (Day 3)

…  I can’t pick one.  So, here’s a little peek:

…  Eternally?  Friends.  I watched every episode of this show on its original airing.  I watched it in the hospital the night before I gave birth to Monkeyface.   This show is the reason she wasn’t named Emma.  (That was my first choice, but when Rachel named her baby Emma, I knew it would become FAR too popular for my suiting.)

I tend to be a late bloomer when it comes to TV shows.  I rarely get hooked when a show debuts, and I find myself 3 or more seasons behind, and then I watch a massive amount via the internet or DVDs, often after the series has been cancelled.   Firefly, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and Kitchen Confidential were series’ I watched after they’d been cancelled..  and loved all of them.   Weeds, Dexter, True Blood, and 30 Rock are shows that I came into way late into the game, and enjoyed the marathon of those, as well.

… In my current line up?  Not a lot, really.  Umm… Survivor, Criminal Minds, and…..  *takes deep breath* …  Jersey Shore. *hangs head*

So, yeah..  only like 3 or 4 people who know me know that I watch Jersey Shore, because… THEORETICALLY…  I’m against it.  I mean, I know it’s stupid.  I know it’s an hour a week of my life I’m never going to get back and have gained nothing from, but …  I just can’t help it.

I’d never seen it until Handcuffs and I broke up.  I spent 3 very dark days, following that breakup, where I did not eat, I did not sleep, I pretty much did nothing productive, I just sat and felt my heartbreak.  I sat on the couch with my laptop, and searched Netflix for something to mindlessly stare at.  I came across Jersey Shore, and figured… Hmmm, this might work.  The sheer volume of episodes and continuing storyline were a draw, because it was a LOT of hours I could mindlessly medicate with.

So, I tore through all three seasons.  (2 on Netflix, 1 on MTV.com)   They are absolutely ridiculous, but truth is – they make me laugh.  So, there you have it.  A confession. It’s liberating, really. :)

…  Don’t judge!
