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!

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

Here we go everyone!  It's the middle of September and it's all most that time...Yep, fall premiere week is just around the corner!  I'm mostly looking forward to Once Upon A Time and its spin-off Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, but there are plenty of other great shows on my radar too.  But that is next week and this week I'm here with a new list of my Top 10 Show that I'm addicted to!

If this is your first time reading, here's a little bit of info to catch you up.  I'm pretty much addicted to television, and here are the things I've perused using Hulu, Netflix, the internet, and of course cable!  These shows have made me enjoy life and kept me up all night watching and watching and watching...

Let's Go!

10. Kitchen Nightmares

(Last Week: #6)

Kitchen Nightmares falls down a couple spots this week barely hanging on.  I caught a little bit of one episode, but I was on a vacation for a bit this weekend and then I've been binge watching other shows.  Gordon Ramsey is still entertaining and everything, but he simply loses to everything else that's going on.  With tons of shows premiering next week, I wonder if Mr. Ramsey might get chopped...Speaking of which, has anyone else seen the show Chopped?  It's fantastic, I have a deep obsession with food shows.

9. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #8)

Dropping down one spot this week is My Name Is Earl.  This show is sort of suffering the same fate as Kitchen Nightmares, I just haven't had much time for it this week.  I must apologize to this show because I still have so much love for it...and Jaime Pressley.  The more I watch of this show though, the more I'm sad it no longer airs cause it really should!  It's hilarious and has some of the best characters of any show I've seen.

8. How I Met Your Mother

(Last Week: #7)

After an impressive debut on the list last week, How I Met Your Mother drops one spot this week.  Now I know the show is starting its last season this fall, but I'm still on season three.  I know I'm behind on the times, but I've got this problem where I like to watch things in bulk every night on Netflix rather than catch it every week.  But my goal is to hopefully catch up on the series before its finally!  

7. Million Dollar Quiz

(Last Week: N/A)

I will admit that I really don't understand this show, it's got the most confusing game show layout in the history of history.  The weird thing about the show was that no matter what I did I couldn't look away.  Ryan Seacrest was yelling at me and then Al Roker was pulling people out of bars in New York City!  The questions were easy and you get paid to sit in a chair!  Excitement abounds!

6. WWE NXT

(Last Week: #3)

The awesomeness that is WWE NXT falls down a few spots this week.  The show itself was awesome but it wasn't a complete standout to me like last week.  I'm still a huge fan of Sami Zayn and I'm always one to mark out for Paige, so I don't see NXT leaving this list anytime soon!

5. Hollywood Game Night

(Last Week: N/A)

Hollywood Game Night made its debut on the list two weeks ago and then the next week it vanished just as soon as it appeared.  I caught the show again and it reminded me how much I enjoy it.  This week had a ton of fun people on the show Sean Hayes, Amy Poehler, and Jason Sudeikis just to name a few.  This show will have you dying laughing, it's pretty much the best game show on TV right now.

4. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #5)

The top tier of sports entertainment comes in this week at number four, jumping up one spot from last week.  Now NXT still has my heart but Monday Night RAW will always be the flagship of the WWE.  I'm getting really anxious to see where they are taking the storyline with Daniel Bryan, cause it's starting to feel a bit stale, I'm waiting for a wrench to be thrown in the machine.

3. Weeds

(Last Week: #4)

Jumping up one spot this week is Weeds, now I can't tell you how much I'm falling in love with this show.  Every character is fantastic and I would really like a Heylia button that just says snappy comebacks to anyone when I'm having a bad day.  This show is proving to me why is was such as huge success.

2. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

The forever number two it seems is Total Divas.  This week we got to see what happens when Jojo attempts to sing...it wasn't pretty.  It was weird cause I got to see her singing debut on WWE Superstars before it actually happened and the commentary team played it up so well, it was weird to see the reaction in the back.  Also Nikki Bella got hurt.  This show is really just a tool that teaches me how much I really don't enjoy them.  I mean there okay in the ring, but...yeah, that's it.  Next week is the mid-season finale, so we'll see how it all works out.

1. New Girl

(Last Week: #1)

Still at number one this week...Who's that girl, who's that girl?  It's Jess!  New Girl is sort of my addiction and season 3 starts soon, now Netflix has season 1 and I just finished it, so I have to turn to Hulu to catch season 2 so I can be caught up.  I'm not sure what happens, so don't spoil it for me, but I'm praying that Schmidt and CeCe get back together!  Wow I sound like a chick, but it's true. 

Alrighty folks, there's this week's list!  Like it?  Hate it?  Is there something that I need to be watching?  Let me know!  Until next week, this is Joey.  I'm out!

The Shows I'm Addicted To: 9/6/13

Hello Guys!  Welcome to the first September edition of The Shows I'm Addicted To!  This is of course my weekly blog post that lets you know the shows that I'm currently watching and staying addicted to!  Now I'm catching all these shows via Netflix, Hulu, and of course good old regular cable, so they can be from current to past!   So without any further ado, here are the programs that are keeping me awake at night this week!

10. Wipeout

(Last Week: N/A)

Coming in at number 10 this week is ABC's Wipeout.  Now this show is something I've taken to enjoying in the breakroom while I'm work.  Now I know this might be the most tasteful show for some people, but if you don't enjoy watching people fall headfirst into things or tumble off the big red balls, then something is wrong with you!  As they say in German: Schadenfredue, it's happiness in the misfortune of others.  (Thanks for that word Avenue Q!)

9. Phineas & Ferb

(Last Week: #6)

Phineas and Ferb stays on the list this week, falling down a few spots to number nine.  I'm slowly but surely becoming a huge nerd about this show.  It doesn't help that I work for Disney and I see Perry The Platypus stuff everywhere.  Seriously with Disney's merchandising and my frivolous spending, this show might break me.  Also, I really want a talking Baljeet action figure!

8. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #5)

Also falling down a couple spots on the list week is My Name Is Earl.  I feel really bad about not catching as much of this show as I want, but it's really just a victim of the other shows I'm watching (and my life) taking up too much of my time.  I still love this show and I'm still waiting on Jaime Pressly to accept my proposal of marriage!

7. How I Met Your Mother

(Last Week: N/A)

New to the list this week is the impeccable How I Met Your Mother.  Now I feel ashamed about this show, I've been trying to play catch up to it for so long and I'm still just starting season three.  But this week, thanks to my roommate Kati, I've begun catching more of it!  I'm just going to say it, you can't not like this show, it's too good!  Also just look at the cast, there's not a bad one in the bunch!  Also: Neil Patrick Harris, nuff said!

6. Kitchen Nightmares

(Last Week: #3)

After jumping up a few spots to number three last week, Kitchen Nightmares falls back to its usual home on the list at number six.  Much like I said with My Name Is Earl earlier, this show falls only due to the fact that I've been watching so many other shows.  I do have a request if this show decides to return, can Gordon please do a fast food place?  That sounds like TV gold to me!

5. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #4)

Dropping down just one spot this week is WWE Monday Night RAW!  This week has the misfortune as not being as exciting as last week to me.  Now I know that it must be hard to write so much television.  Doing a live broadcast every single week has to be crazy, but last week was so good, this week just didn't live up to the hype.  But I'm still with you WWE!

4. Weeds

(Last Week: #7)

Jumping up a couple spots this week is Weeds.  This show was my next stop cause I lost the TV show of my life that was Orange Is The New Black, but Weeds is just as good.  Who knew that the writer of that show would have another successful show?  I know Weeds has been on longer and I'm playing catch up right now, but I really do love this show!  Can I say that I'm very high on this show??  I'll stop with the puns...My apologies.

3. WWE NXT

(Last Week: #9)

The biggest jump this week comes to us from WWE NXT.  Now I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the best show that the WWE has right now.  The real reason for the jump up this week?  Did anyone else see the match between Sami Zayn and Jack Swagger?  That match was Pay Per View quality!  Seriously, the fact that you had to go to Hulu to see that match was cruel, I want to see this on my television each week!  Seriously one of the best matches I've seen in some time!

2. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

Chilling in its usual spot on the list is my always guilty pleasure Total Divas.  This week we got to see a creepy "romance" "blossom" between Jojo and WWE Superstar Justin Gabriel.  While we got to see that couple crash and burn, Natalya was busy having her bachelor party and stressing over if she should flirt with this other guy or her fiance...Duh Nattie.  Also, drunk Bella Twins...Just as annoying as sober Bella Twins.

1. New Girl

(Last Week: #1)

Still on top this week is New Girl.  I really can't tell you how much I enjoy this show.  I want to hang out with these people and I would like to also extend an invitation of marriage to Zooey Deschanel if this whole thing with Jaime Pressly doesn't work out.  This show is all about dorky awkward and I love it.  If you haven't seen this miracle of a program you need to reevaluate your life and your choices.

The Shows I'm Addicted To - 8/30/13

Here you go guys!  This week's edition of the The Shows I'm Addicted To!  Every week I'm bringing you a list of the Top 10 shows that I can't stop watching.  I've been looking all over the place: Netflix, Hulu, and of course good old cable and this is what I'm watching!  My current addictions are as followed:

10. Orange Is The New Black

(Last Week: #1)

This week's biggest dropper is Orange Is The New Black.  Now this isn't dropping because it's bad or anything, it's dropping because there not anymore for me to watch yet!  (Which saddens me to no end!)  Even though I haven't actually watched this show this week, the series stays on my list this week due to the sheer greatness that it is.  Please, please, please God can we get Season 2 soon!

9. WWE NXT

(Last Week: #9)

NXT continually brings you the some of the best wrestling that the WWE can offer!  NXT may not have the biggest name stars on the show, but it makes me happy.  I love watching the younger guys go for it, because every week they have to make a name for themselves and I stay glued.  By the way, WWE needs to bring some of these stars to the main roster!  Just saying!

8. Hollywood Game Night

(Last Week: N/A)

New to the list this week is Hollywood Game Night!  Now to tell you the truth, I actually had no idea this show existed till week, but then I caught it and loved it!  The show is hosted by the amazing Jane Lynch and featured celebrities playing various party type games.  This week featured one of my favorites Kristen Chenoweth as well as Dominic Monaghan of Lord Of The Rings fame, but I know him better as Charlie in LOST.  This show kept me laughing and it was a ton of fun to watch.  If you haven't seen it, make sure you check it out!

7. Weeds

(Last Week: N/A)

Another new show that I'm addicted to is Weeds.  Now I was a huge fan of Orange Is The New Black and the creators made this show, so I figured I could replace my lost love with this one.  There's a reason this show was the original, it's fantastic and I fell in love!  Weeds has been out for a while and I know I'm behind on the times, but I'm catching up!  One thing I know is that so far, this show won't disappoint!

6. Phineas & Ferb

(Last Week: #7)

Bumping up one spot this week is Disney's Phineas & Ferb.  I love this show, it's usually how I just relax.  I don't have to think when I watch cartoons and that's just the way I like it.  I think everyone should watch a cartoon at least a couple times a week.  It's a way to maintain your sanity.  Also Phineas & Ferb is fantastic!

5. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #3)

Down a few spots this week is My Name Is Earl.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, being from South Carolina, I know each and every one of these people.  This show makes fun of the white trash that we've all met before.  If I had my way, the cast would reunite soon to make a movie!  (My idea!)

4. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #5)

Up one spot this week is WWE Monday Night RAW!  Now I usually catch the show on Hulu the day after cause I'm actually training to wrestle on Monday nights.  This week however I was searching massively on Youtube that night when I got back cause I was hearing all the reviews other people were giving and let me tell you there was a reason I was hearing so much!  RAW was great this week!  AJ Lee's promo was greatness and I'm loving the storyline between Daniel Bryan and the McMahons!  Keep it up WWE!

3. Kitchen Nightmares

(Last Week: #6)

Jumping up a few spots this week is Kitchen Nightmares.  This show is one of my constants because I'm addicted to cooking shows and I love hearing Gordon Ramsay cuss at people.  Oddly I don't watch Hell's Kitchen.  But I'm not sure why, but I've watched a lot of it this week.  It's bloody brilliant!

2. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

Total Divas doesn't move this week, it stays in the same spot.  This weeks episode was great for me because it focused more on Naomi and Cameron (Real names Trinity and Ariane respectively.)  They are pretty much my favorite parts of the show.  I was a big fan of Natalya, but after the last two episodes, she seems overly bitchy.  And I'm hoping that's not her real personality cause she seems like a really sweet person.  The best part of the show was that it didn't really focus too much on the Bella Twins and their daddy issues.  The Bellas are awful and side note:  The Bellas almost ruined AJ Lee's promo on Monday Night RAW this week with their shrill screams.  Hate!

1. New Girl

(Last Week: #4)

"In college, if panties were snowmen, you would be March!"  That is just one of my favorite lines from New Girl!  I'm obsessed with this show now and Zooey Deschanel is freaking fantastic!  Also, Schmidt is one of my favorite characters of any show right now.  Everything about this show is greatness and if you aren't watching it, I must insist that you change that!

The Shows I'm Addicted To - 8/23/13

So here it is guys!  This week's addition of The Shows I'm Addicted To!  After watching way too much TV, mostly before I fall asleep with about 3hrs before I have to wake up for work, I have compiled a list of my favorite shows!  With Netflix, Hulu, and of course television at my disposal, here are my current addictions:

10. 3rd Rock From The Sun

(Last week: #5)

So haven't actually gotten to watch an episode this week.  I've been catching up on this via Hulu since it's close to a decade old now.  This show is still hilarious and none of the references are dated which is nice.  I have to get back into it, cause it is truly a gem.

9. WWE NXT

(Last week: #8)

As I've stated before, NXT is my favorite brand of wrestling that WWE has.  It may not have the flashy lights and glamour of Monday Night RAW, but it offers a solid product every single week.  Some of my favorite NXT Superstars right now include:  Tyler Breeze, Paige, Enzo Amore, Emma, and Leo Kruger.

8. Cake Boss

(Last Week: N/A)

This one I'm blaming entirely on my roommate Kati.  I sat down to look at a neat cake that looked like a zombie and then never got up.  This show is great, even though I really hate how the guy says fondant.  I was a big fan of Ace Of Cakes on the Food Network and was really upset when it was cancelled, so this is the next best thing for me!

7. Phineas & Ferb

(Last Week: #7)

Phineas and Ferb is still my favorite children's cartoon series going, it feels like I'm back in the 90s with my bowl of cereal.  Also Dr. Doofenshmirtz might be one of my favorite characters in anything.

6. Kitchen Nightmares

(Last Week: #6)

Kitchen Nightmares is still great.  It makes me want to open a restaurant just so Gordon Ramsey can come yell to me.  Also it makes me never want to eat out again.

5. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #4)

Every week I either watch RAW or catch up on Hulu.  This past week's RAW was great, I'm really enjoying the Daniel Bryan storyline.  He was totally robbed at Summerslam!

4. New Girl

(Last Week: N/A)

This show has become an obsession over the past week.  It really upsets me that I'm catching up on it via Netflix.  Zooey Deschanel and the rest of the cast shine, I can't stop laughing.  Also this show might have one of my favorite theme songs ever.  "Who's that girl?  It's Jess!"

3. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #3)

I can't handle how much this show cracks me up.  There's not one character that isn't played to a T.  Just got to the middle of season 1 this week.  The Christmas episode had me dying.  "Oh no it's a negro, we must getting robbed!"  I want to marry Jaime Pressley.

2. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

Still my guilty pleasure.  Part of me wishes I didn't like this show as much as I do.  This weeks episode dealing with Natalya's relationship and Ariane''s (Cameron's) boob issues was great.  When Cameron lost a fake boob in the pool though, Naomi had me rolling with, "Those things float.  Who knew?!"  Greatness!

1. Orange Is The New Black

(Last Week: #1)

So much like last week this show has amazed me from start to finish!  So not like last week, I'm kind of bittersweet to be listing this as my number one.  Not because it doesn't deserve it, but because I finished the first season and season two isn't here yet!  I want to see more, there needs to be more of this show in my life!  Season two can't get here soon enough!
