The Shows I'm Addicted To - 9/28/13

Hello there everyone!  Welcome to The Shows I'm Addicted To!   I'm a little late with this week's edition cause to be honest, I've been busy!  Yep, busy, you know, being a productive member of society and what-not!  But there's been a lot happening on TV.  I'm still awaiting the season debut of Once Upon A Time, and I am trying to catch up on all these fall premieres.  Though some of them have been pretty awesome!  

Just a quick recap for those of you who are new to the blog, this is a countdown of the shows that are keeping me awake at night watching them.  Some of them are on the air, and some aren't.  I'm using Hulu, Netflix, and of course grand-daddy cable to watch all kinds of shows.  So here is the Top 10 shows that I'm enamored by this week!

10. Phineas & Ferb
(Last Week: N/A)

After being absent from the list for a little bit, my childishness comes shining through once again as Phineas & Ferb has returned to the list!  This is my constant show that I put on as I'm falling asleep.  That's not a bad thing either, it's just mind-numbing fun!  Got to love cartoons!

9. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
(Last Week: N/A)

Debuting on the list and on screens worldwide this week is Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  This show was just a guilty pleasure the entire time for me.  It was Marvel references and some familiar movie faces and a Joss Whedon show all the way through.  The show felt just like a mini-movie and I'm hoping each episode follows that format.  This has the possibility to be the next Heroes, or dare I say, better than Heroes.

8. WWE NXT
(Last Week: #7)

WWE NXT drops one spot this week.  This week's episode was alright but it was missing some of that spark that makes the show great for me.  The Divas match was pretty plain, mostly cause I'm not a fan of this Lay-Cool ripoff that Sasha Banks and Summer Rae are going for.  The tag-team turmoil was disappointing due to The Ascension winning.  Seriously, the gothic gimmick never works.  But I will say that I'm enjoying Bo Dallas' new direction and I'm looking forward to how his feud plays out with Sami Zayn, it looks like it's going places!

7. Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
(Last Week: #8)

Swapping spots with WWE NXT this week, Guy Fieri pulls his crazy eating show up a spot and has me hungry for more.  I said it last week and I'll say it again, but I don't care for Fieri, but I really just can't stop watching him.  He's kind of like that guy from Man Vs. Food's douche-bag cousin.  But the real reason I watch this show is to literally just stare at the food and salivate like the sad sack I am on the couch.  This show is way too addicting!

6. WWE Monday Night RAW
(Last Week: #5)

This WWE RAW was alright this week.  It's kind of the same story I had with this week's WWE NXT.  It wasn't a bad episode, just nothing stood out to me.  With the superstars trying to stand up to the new McMahon family faction thing.  It was just a little plain.  Here's hoping next week brings something more exciting.

5. South Park
(Last Week: N/A)

South Park is back!  The new season made its debut this Wednesday.  Now along with the new episode, I've seen so much of the show this week it's crazy.  Of all the adult cartoon shows, South Park has to be my favorite.  It's got that dirty humor to it, but it also has a great social commentary to each episode that I enjoy.

4. The IT Crowd
(Last Week: #3)

Sticking around this week in the top half of the list is that golden show straight out of the United Kingdom.  No, not Dr. Who, it's The IT Crowd.  Now the final closing episode is coming soon and I'm still trying to finish up the series.  But you know there's so many other shows, that I'm just trying to keep up.  This show is amazing and I can wait to see how it ends, as sad as that is to say.

3. Sleepy Hollow
(Last Week: N/A)

Can I just say how amazing this show is!  I watched the first two episodes back to back and couldn't take my eyes off the screen.  I will say I was a little thrown at the first 15mins of episode one cause I didn't quite grasp what was going on, but as the episodes went on, I was literally captivating.  Mr. Crane is one of my favorite new characters.  I am on the edge of my seat waiting for next week!  I'm officially hooked!

2. New Girl
(Last Week: #2)

I'm calling the number 2 slot the Total Divas curse.  It seems when something falls into number 2 it's pretty much destined to stay there.  New Girl has taken in this new slot.  This show keeps me laughing every time so I don't see it leaving the top half of the list anytime soon!

 1. Weeds
(Last Week: #4)

The biggest jumper this week...or should I say this biggest grower...anyone, every week I make a pun and say I'm not.  Weeds jumps up a few spots as I am still obsessed with this show.  I'm plowing through it on Netflix and I love it!  Every characters is golden and every line is so well written...I"m just head over heels for this show.

So what do you think about this week's list?  Do you like it?  Do you hate it?  Is there something I should be watching that I'm not?  Sound off and let me know.

The Shows I'm Addicted To: 9/20/13

So here it is everyone!!  I know you've been sitting on the edge of your seats with anticipation, foaming at the mouth ready to sink your teeth into this week's edition of The Shows I'm Addicted To!  Now for those of you new to these parts, this is a blog where I list the Top 10 programs that I've been watching over the past week.  I've been scouring Netflix (mostly), Hulu, and of course grandfather cable.  But nevertheless, onward and forward with the list!

10. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #9)

One week down and anther spot down goes My Name Is Earl.  I think I've only caught one episode this week.  I'm sorry Jaime Pressly, I still love you.  (I would really like to believe that she reads my blog.)

9. Ugly Betty

(Last Week: N/A)

New to the list this week is Ugly Betty.  Now Netflix recommended this to me and so far I'm a big fan.  I'm still on the first couple of episodes, but I will say that I love the writing of this show so far.  Betty is a genius, but I will say that all the other catty fashion people are just as great!

8. Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives

(Last Week: N/A)

Now I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to this show, but boy oh boy did I watch a lot of it this week!  Mostly just one day of it, my roommates and I just pulling a binge marathon of it.  Not sure why, but I love seeing the food here.  I also love to make fun of Guy Fieri, he is just a tad on the annoying side, but it works for the show in a weird way.

7. WWE NXT

(Last Week: #6)

Down one spot this week is WWE NXT.  The WWE's apple of my eye is down one spot this week.  I'm still becoming a huge mark for Sami Zayn but other than that NXT didn't really have too much standing out for me this week.  I will say that I'm becoming a big fan of Bo Dallas' new gimmick where he reacts to all the heel heat he gets with babyface actions.  Keep at it Bo, you're making me proud!

6. How I Met Your Mother

(Last Week: #7)

This is Legend...Wait For It...Dary!  Yep, How I Met Your Mother is up one spot this week.  I'm hook line and sinker for this show, but after all, is there anybody in this world that isn't?  I'm still trying to catch up on it so I can watch the final season with the rest of the world.  I may not get any sleep at all, but I'm going to accomplish this!

5. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #5)

WWE RAW chills at the same spot this week, but I have to brag about this week's episode.  Three Words: Stephanie.  McMahon.  Helmsley.  The segments she was in this week were all golden, but the one at the end with Dusty Rhodes and Big Show.  I will say that Big Show can't really act his way out of a paper bag, but just seeing her cold reaction was the stuff wrestling is made for!  Seriously, I'm beginning to have my fill of them screwing over Daniel Bryan, but if I get to see more evil things like this.  I'm down!

4. Weeds

(Last Week: #3)

Down one spot this week is Weeds.  Now I've made it through the first season finally and I have to say that I'm just so into this show.  I really wish I had caught it while it was still airing.  Season 1: Episode 9 is totally my favorite at the moment, where she gets jacked by the college security guy.  I know that this show is only going to get better, but I'm really high on it right now!  (See what I did there?)

3. The IT Crowd

(Last Week: N/A)

Hello, IT, have you tried turning it on and off again?  Those famous words are now my new favorite!  I'm re-watching and catching all that I've missed of this show so I can be ready for the special feature final that's coming on September 29th.  This might be the funniest show of the last decade and I'm ready for the finale to bring it all together!

2. New Girl

(Last Week: #1)

Dropping from the top spot this week, New Girl has had an interesting watching schedule for me this week.  Now I know season 3 just premiered, but I had just finished season 1.  So I was kind of lost for a while this week cause I didn't have any more episodes this week because my Hulu watching has been glitchy.  But then I got an email from Netflix saying season 2 was up!  Holy crap I watched about 5 episodes right after the email!  New Girl has returned to my screen and it's here to stay!

1. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

Finally climbing up to number one this week is Total Divas!  After being stuck in the background at #2 for most of its season 1 run behind Orange Is The New Black then New Girl, the women of the WWE have grabbed my attention this week.  With this being the season 1 mid-season finale, and having Natalya's wedding, the show was really good this week!  But more interesting was the reunion episode that followed.  Nikki Bella continued to get on my nerves, but hearing Jaret come out and say horrible things to TJ was intense, I was hoping for a WWE throwdown right there!  But with no new episodes till November, who knows where Total Divas will end up on the list next week!

So that's it!  There is my list this week!  What do you think?  Do you like it?  Do you hate it?  Do you not care about this blog at all?  Tell me!

Until next week!
