Television Show Addictions...

I'm really enjoying Expedition Impossible (ABC) right now.

I love the Food Network..

Iron Chef
Next Food Network Star
Chopped
Challenge
and many more

I learned how to chop onions without too many tears there.

I also watch Animal Planet. I love the one's about cats obviously. Also the one's that rescue animals from cruel and neglective owners. I saw one last night about some horses that were so emancipated that one could not even stand. They had to put him in a brace so he would even have a chance to live. The owners were convicted of felony animal abuse. They got 5 days in jail, $1000 fine and 100 hours of community service. The horses were adopted out to new, caring homes. The one that couldn't even stand made a full recovery. It didn't look like the same horse.

I liked to watch Ina Garten,Barefoot Contessa (DH calls her the Snobby Contessa, but I love some of her recipes) and Alton Brown's Good Eats. That's not airing anymore, but Alton is working on another series. Can't wait for that.....I just love that guy; I love his quirkiness and I learned so much from him. I think I like him because he doesn't just tell you to do something; he tells you why you have to do it that way. Sometimes I'll watch the Neeley's, too, but I have to in the mood to watch them. I haven't watched the Food Network in a long time.

DH watches Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, but I can't stand to watch Guy what's-his-name. Honestly, that man curdles my corpuscles.

OTOH, I used to watch Man v. Food quite a bit on the Travel Channel.

True Blood is my hands down favorite. I've read all the books and I still have no idea what's going to happen next on the show. I saw a lot of True Blood mentioned, maybe we should start our own thread?

Otherwise:
Pawn Stars
House Hunters
Conan
Law and Order/NCIS/CSI

Eh, what's ever on really. I tend to get sucked into marathons.

I used to love Good Eats, but then my view of Alton Brown was soured immensely by his behavior on The Next Food Network Star... he can really, really be a jerk. I wish his personality would line up with how he is on Iron Chef and Good Eats, but unfortunately it doesn't.

I don't really follow anything real-time, just wolf it down in large amounts on Netflix and Hulu later.

My favorites-

Criminal Minds
Dexter
Dead Like Me (glad to see other fans here!!! )
The Office
House
Glee
Justified
Game of Thrones (just getting started)
Psych
Freaks and Geeks
Pushing Daisies

My "big ones" - my can't live without them, desert island TV shows - would be Criminal Minds, Dexter, and The Office.

The never-miss-an-episode list is pretty short:
Criminal Minds
Survivor

We do watch a lot of tv around here,tho. The 'must-have' list includes:
any Law & Order
30 Rock
The Closer
CSI (the original)
The Big Bang Theory
Raising Hope
The Good Wife
Cubs baseball
Bones
House

In the "why did they cancel that?!" section, we have:
Pushing Daisies
Dead Like Me
Better Off Ted
Law & Order LA
Gardening by the Yard (HGTV)

And, in my "guilty pleasure that DH doesn't like" section, we have:
Food Network Challenge
Chopped
HGTV's Next Design Star
Cupcake Wars

I just had a flashback to another old show I absolutely LOVED. Third Watch. I still have a framed picture of the original cast in my room at my parents house.
Eddie Cibrian is so gorgeous!

I was really into House for a time but I have sort of forgotten about it. I was following Cake Boss for a good while too. I think I have some shows to catch up on. But right now its time to catch last nights new episodes of Hoarders and Intervention.

Oh - I forgot. Thanks to the Hoarders thread floating around in the Cat Lounge, I'm now addicted to that, too

Bones
House
Forensic Files

I utilize my DVR often

Right now we are watching Bones seasons 1-5 on Netflix instant because we missed some of the beginning seasons (didn't start watching regularly til 2009-ish). We missed a lot of last season's because the DVR kept forgetting to record it So when that comes out on Netflix we'll be watching that AND checking the DVR every week to make sure it records season 7 if we haven't caught up by then!

Summertime is
Royal Pains
Drop Dead Diva
Eureka
Necessary Roughness
Masterchef
Next Food Network Star

Waiting for the fall
NCIS
The Good Wife
The Middle
Modern Family
Bones

Canceled but I'm grateful for DVDs
Dead Like Me
Wonderfalls
Pushing Daisies
Better Off Ted
Arrested Development

Next Food Network Star. So addicted to that show

It's bad. My 17 and 14 year old watch it too. It was too funny. They had this one contestant on that the girls were comparing to Sneaky Pie (she used to hiss at everyone) I can't remember her name- but she was the one who won a challenge and then was a you-know-what by stacking the next challenge in her favor AND then she said "Oh yeah- I did that on purpose".

My family cheered when she got sent home

I almost turned the TV on last night to watch HGTV's version of it. But then I thought I'd get addicted to that show too

And oh yeah- but this one isn't on in the summer.

Worst Cook in America. That was quite addicting as well

I looked on Food Network's site to see if I could find some of the recipies they were doing. They didn't look all that hard.

And one more- Restaurant Challenge. Or is it something else? It's the show where the British chef takes restaurants that are failing and gives them a $10,000 makover in 2 days. You have to admit, the stories are facinating. People who take their life's savings (or a family member) to start a restaurant, and really don't have a clue as how to do it right. It's neat to see how the chef (and I can't remember his name) helps them turn things around, even though he can be "in your face" at times.

I've got dh watching that one too

ME TOO . I don't get to watch the Housewives shows much but do like to catch up when I can. I love the Orange County "b's" And I like Vicki, she is a hard worker. YAY, the NY group doesn't do much for me at all. I like the Mafia group from New Jersey. My favorite at the moment.... And I LOVE Flipping out too

I also like to watch:
Hoarders
Animal Cops
Kardashian's
Grey's Anatomy

You are talking about Penny. I was glad when she left too. I love Cupcake Wars but DH hates it.

People are shocked I haven't been watching AGT this season, because I do pole dance for fitness and fun, and there's a pole dancer who's made it a couple rounds. But I just cant take Steven Retchless that seriously. He's very strong and talented on the pole, but the outfits and dancing very femininely just turns me away from really wanting to watch it. My brother has a new crush on him though

Most of mine are off season but about to start.

Dexter
Boardwalk Empire
Entourage (final season ;(
Gigolos
Shameless
White Collar
The Borgias

I don't know if this counts, but I like to watch Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee clips on YouTube and make fun of them... I would definitely say I am addicted to that.......

Right now it is True Blood and Big Brother!
