What’s up blog world…

I know that I can’t be the only one that binge watches TV shows. Watching an entire show series has become easier now with all the streaming apps. Most of the time when I take on the challenge to binge watch a show series, I become obsessed and watch episode after episode; it can really annoy my family, because my main focus is usually on that tv show that I’ve dived into and nothing else. 

I have a friend that I watch shows with. He has suggested shows for me to check out and I’ve done the same for him. Him and I can talk for hours on end about the shows we watch together and that has become one of my favorite things. This past December we watched the first season of The Wilds on Amazon and throughout the watching process (which lasted about a weekend for us) we talked about certain things that had happened, characters we liked and disliked, and what we hoped for in a second season if given the chance. We both got excited to find out that it was renewed for a second season and talked about what to watch next while we waited. One day in January my friend suggested that I watch a show called The Rookie, so the day after he suggested it, I was already on episode 8 of the first season and to say that I was hooked is an understatement. I was able to binge watch both seasons that had already aired just in time to watch the current episodes on tv. I have become obsessed with The Rookie and I anxiously wait for Sunday nights so that I can watch the new episode; it has definitely made my top five favorite shows. My friend and I talk every week about what had happened in the new episode and what our thoughts are on the promo for the following week. The Rookie is a police procedural show, it stars Nathan Fillion as a fortysomething rookie with the LAPD. The cast is amazing, the storylines are great (Chenford for life), and it’s actually pretty funny. It is currently in its third season and the show along with their fans are anxiously awaiting on news of a renewal for a season 4 (please ABC). I strongly recommend this show to anyone. The Rookie airs on Sunday’s at 10pm (pst) on ABC or next day on Hulu.

I don’t really like the question “what’s your favorite television show?” because I don’t have just one. I definitely have a top ten favorite tv show list, maybe even a top twenty. Once I get into a show it definitely gets a spot on my favorites list. 

Here are my top ten favorite tv shows:

1. Roswell (1999)
2. Ghost Whisperer
3. Rookie Blue
4. Supernatural
5. The Rookie
6. One Tree Hill
7. Teen Wolf
8. The Office
9. Big Bang Theory
10. Baby Daddy

I can literally continue adding to the list and give the next ten, because I love talking about my favorite shows. I will watch these shows over and over again anytime reruns are on. I am a little sad that out of my top ten list there is only one show that currently still has new episodes (show #5), but for the ones that aren’t I get to stream them and watch them anytime I want.

When I get obsessed with a tv show not only does it go on my list, but I can get a little crazy with it. I will find fan pages, set locations so I can see and visit where they filmed, follow cast members on social media so I can check out what shows they are doing now, buy merchandise from the show, watch a ton of fan made YouTube videos, and even talk my friends into watching the show so we can talk about it. One of my favorite things to do is converse about my favorite tv shows with fellow fans, because we can get deep into the show and dissect it for ourselves. 

My husband watched One Tree Hill when it was airing and suggested it to me. Two episodes in I knew I was hooked and ready to add it to my favorites list. I binged watched the entire nine seasons early last year and fell in love with the show. He had also watched Gilmore Girls when it aired in the early 2000s and told me that he thought I would like it; I started it last week and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. I’m already in the middle of season two and I know it’ll be a show that I add to my list once again. My husband is waiting for me to finish all seven seasons so we can watch the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life mini-series on Netflix together.

All the shows that I’ve talked about and listed are available (free or for purchase) via streaming networks: Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock. They can also be purchased via streaming apps such as Amazon and iTunes, or you can buy the DVD/Blu-ray boxsets. I have most of these boxsets and I also have purchased these on streaming, so that I’ll forever have them in my library. 

Like I said, I love chatting about my favorite shows or a new tv show to check out. I’d love any recommendations on a show to check out that is binge worthy or just chat about any that I’ve mentioned above. I’m also curious if anyone else gets obsessed with binge watching shows like I do. Let me know.
