Most of you know Michael C. Hall as the lovable serial killer Dexter. I know him as the self-loathing gay brother who runs a funeral home.
I watch a ton of tv. Maybe I watch more than I should, and maybe I don't. What I do know is that I make no apologies for the shows I love. I sometimes sit around an entire Sunday catching up on dvr'd shows and watching bad movies. Here are some of the shows I watch on a regular basis:
Parenthood
Criminal Minds
Modern Family
Person of Interest
Mob Wives
Supernatural
I like shows where they use great music. I like crime drama. I like to laugh. I like shows where I get so involved with the characters that they kind of feel like family. I watch pretty much all AMC, HBO, and Showtime series. I heard Starz has some good ones now too, but I don't have Starz, and I'm not getting it. I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs, that played on Thursday night's episode of Point of Interest.
Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart
You don't have to feel guilty or ashamed of anything you enjoy. And don't let anyone make you think you do.
Happy picture of the day: fresh-squeezed orange juice. I juiced about 16 tiny oranges to get this one large glass of juice. It was worth every minute.
The way I see it, a "guilty pleasure" is something that you know isn't all that good for you but you love it anyway like County Fair food. In my case, I love things that most people just shake their heads at. I don't mind, but knowing that it isn't something others are interested in, I tend to not talk about it. Does that make sense? I'm not embarrassed by them, I just don't make a big deal about it.
ReplyDeleteAs for TV shows, I can't say I've seen any that you listed but that is only because I really limit what I watch otherwise, I'm sure I'd get nothing done, but right now I love, Love, LOVE: Finding Bigfoot, Ancient Aliens, The Walking Dead and reruns of Star Trek.
I just don't like the term because it implies you should feel bad about the choice. I had a deep fried Snickers at the fair this year, I didn't feel like it was a guilty pleasure. I felt like it was a treat. Treats are great to be enjoyed in moderation. I don't think people should be made to feel bad about food, or other choices. The words carry a weight I'm just not comfortable with.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE old Star Trek. Watched all the original episodes on Netflix instant a while back. I have a ton of sci-fi stuff in my house. The Walking Dead is a phenomenal show!
I get that. Makes sense too. I guess I just never really put that much into the connotations of the words. But you're right. Labeling something a guilty pleasure does make it sound like it is a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd deep fried Snickers? How was that? I've heard of them, but never actually tried them. I'm not a big fan of Snickers...maybe a deep fried Mounds or Milky Way?
I also don't say things like, "I was bad today. I ate some fried chicken and cake." That kind of language is what gives little kids food issues. I try to just start each day anew and aim to eat healthy. If I have a day where I eat really rich foods I just realize I have to balance that out in the days following.
ReplyDeleteI bought the deep fried Snickers as a novelty. I never imagined it would be so delicious. It was wonderful. I also once made tempura bacon, with a chipotle aioli. Deep fried, breaded bacon? Yep.
Supernatural is my ALL TIME favorite show. Love, love, love that show!!
ReplyDeletePlus, isn't Sam delicious ;) hahaha
I'm totally team Dean. I think it's because I remember Jared from Gilmore Girls, when he looked like a baby. Haha.
