I (Heart) TV

When I was younger, I spent a lot of time watching movies. I watched, on average, about 5-10 movies per week throughout my twenties. But lately, I have had a hard time digesting movies of any kind. I get antsy and I also think that they have really lost a lot of appeal to me. On the other hand, I currently (heart) television. There are so many great shows on now. Better acting...better writing...better everything. (Bonus: If you fall in love with a show there are often multiple seasons!) So, inspired by lists everywhere, here is my list of favorite shows (in no particular order other than how they come to mind):

• Big Bang Theory (Do I know these people? I am these people.)
• Sons of Anarchy (Awesome!)
• Californication (Awesome Squared!)
• Dexter (Love the show , love the books.)
• Game of Thrones (I can't wait for Season 2)
• Breaking Bad (The last season wasn't as good, but I will withhold judgment...for now)
• The League (It makes me laugh)
• Revenge (I do (heart) Kevin Williamson.)
• Suits (I can't pass up a good lawyer show or movie.)
• Vampire Diaries (Teen drama = me watching)
• Rookie Blue (nothing to really say here)
• Detroit 1-8-7 (again....no reason)
• Justified (totally sweet....gotta love the hat)
• The Walking Dead (The rumor is Season 2 isn't as good...)
• Chuck (geez I watch a lot of TV)
• 
  

Here is a list of shows I watch, but either haven't come to (heart) or no longer (heart):

• House (Getting old, but I still like House as a character.)
• True Blood (This show jumped the shark after Season 1)
• PanAm (I (heart) Christina Ricci, but that is about it)
• Rescue Me (It got repetitive and should have ended a season or two before it did.)
• Gossip Girl (First season was great....then...???)
• Lie to Me (ho-hum)
• Hung (the characters are not growing on me...no pun intended)
• Weeds (i'm bored)
• Entourage (see above)
• Mad Men (this show is som much better on mute)

And finally,  a list of shows that I have watched and (heart) but are no longer with us:

• Dawson's Creek (see comment for Revenge)
• Friday Night Lights (an underrated show)
• The Shield (got better with every season)
• The Wire (see above)
• The Booth at the End (only on Hulu)
• Outlaw (Still love a good lawyer show)
• My So-Called Life (Claire Danes + Jared Leto = pretty. The quintessential 90's show)
• Portlandia (Life in Portland....so apt)
• Wonderfalls (so quirky)
• Durham County (Dark...gritty)
• Freaks and Geeks (my junior high life)
• October Road (The TV version of "Beautiful Girls")
• Life (revenge...prison...great)

I'm sure I'm missing some. Some that I watched but really don't make the list are Hidden Palms (Kevin Williamson), Sex and the City (after the second movie it doesn't deserve mention),  V (the original series), Flight of the Conchords (their music is the best), MI-5 (BBC = napping), and many more...
