Hey guys, sorry this is a bit late; it's been a long, but lovely day - hubby's mums birthday, so been rather busy! So here we go!
Each week Cambria sets us a Q and we all link up to answer it - it's a fab way to get to know our fellow bloggers;
Here's this weeks' Q:
Let’s talk TV! What are your favourite shows?
T.V? I rarely have time to put my feet up and relax and when I do, my nose is usually in a book! (Just finished reading Glass Houses by Rachel Caine... awesomeness)
If I do share my fav' shows I'm a tad worried that I will slip down the cool-o-meter.. But what the heck, here goes...
Family Guy The Griffins |
Family Guy/American Dad
I am such a kid, and these adult animated shows are fun.
Created by the wonderful and funny Mr Seth Macfarlane; I can't help but love these shows. Sometimes... erm... mostly over-the-top humour and strange characters such as a German inside the body of a fish (Klaus), an alien (Rodger) and a baby that can talk and wants to take over the world (Stewie)...
It's just nice to escape with some outrageous humour and laugh!
American Dad The Smiths |
Come Dine with Me
Food game show I guess is the way to describe it. Each contestant hosts a dinner party over a week and the others give a secret score out of 10, the winner bags a £1000 prize. Made highly entertaining by the voice-over talent of Dave Lamb... Food and fun, great combo.
Cougar Town
When I first unwrapped this at Christmas year before last, I just thought, I have never heard of this and it doesn't look like my "thing"... Oh how I was wrong. It made me laugh soooooooooo much. I found myself saying "Just one more?!" Hubby watches it with me! I am now in the middle of season two.. The characters just work...
Being Human
Being Human
This should have been on the top of the list... A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost all living together? Perfect TV! This has it all... drama, suspense verging on horror with s good sploosh of comedy. I watched the whole of series 1 and they have shown series 2, but I didn't get to watch them... (blogging, writing, reading etc) but luckily, my husband is pretty thoughtful, and has recorded them for me! Ahhhhh, my hero!
And lastly my guilty pleasure (because I am British, ha!):
Eastenders!
I have basically grown up with this as my mum loves it. We would hear the |Eastenders theme tune and knew it was time to be quiet so mum could watch (it also meant the half an hour count down to bed time!)
A soap opera classic.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
It was only when I scooted over to your blog after posting this that I thought... THE SIMPSONS! How could I forget that??! *shame* It totally paved the way for more adult animated shows...
ReplyDeleteBeing human is indeed a British show, shown on BBC Three... I absolutely adored the first series and really need to catch up.... (they are up to series four I think...) But it is set in Bristol, not too far away from where I am. :-)

Thank you so much for your kind comment, "Rainy Day Ramblings" rocks too! :-)
GReat List!!!! I admit I don't watch Family Guy but some of your other shows looks great! I have always wanted to watch Being Human and I always forget about it!!! No fair! But it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Cougar Town but it looks hilarious!
I have never heard of Come Done with Me but it sounds like something I would watch too.
Great picks! Happy Tuesday!
Thanks Cambria!
DeleteI really think you would dig Being Human :-)
Loving TMST!
Hope you had a groovy Tuesday!
My absolute favorite shows are "Friends" and "Gilmore Girls". My husband and I just finished through the series "30 rock" and loved it. Now we are resuming our journey through HIS favorite show, "The West Wing".
ReplyDeleteI loved friends, that's why I was given Cougar Town to watch. Courtney Cox is hilarious in this!
DeleteMy hubby likes Boston Legal, so I sit and watch it with him. It's great to still share some of each others favourite things!
I must give Cougar Town a try! It sounds like fun. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those; I'll just watch one more episode kinda shows... You'll have to let me know what you think! ;-)
