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. 

Follow Me on Twitter: @joeyesrojo and you will get updated on my show watching habits!

Till Next Week Folks,

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!

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

Introducing something to new!  Here are my Top 10 Shows that I'm obsessed with watching right now!  Now these are on Netflix, Hulu, and of course television!  Here's my guide!  I'll post it weekly, maybe it'll change, maybe it won't!  Enjoy!

Let's start with #10!

10. WWE Smackdown

Got to love Smackdown!  It's like the highlights of RAW, but with some storyline continuations as well.  But always try to catch Smackdown, cause you can expect the unexpected!

9. WWE Superstars

Superstars is one of my favorite because you get to see a lot of WWE's minor and mid-card wrestlers which are some of my favorites.  Always nice to see some solid eight minute matches and see what some of the guys you don't see so often you can do.

8. WWE NXT

NXT is one of my favorites because the matches are always great and the small crowd really gets into it!  Always exciting to see!

7. Phineas & Ferb

Always have fun watching Phineas and Ferb.  It's the one current cartoon that takes me back to my childhood, it has a real 90s feel to it.  Never too old for cartoons!

6. Kitchen Nightmares

Gordon Ramsey doing anything makes me happy!  Maybe it's just the cursing and the British Accent, but I've been watching this show obsessively.  But I always wind up cooking afterwards.

5. 3rd Rock From The Sun

I'm really disappointed I missed this show growing up, but like it more now that I'm older and get all the jokes.  This show is rapid fire fun to watch.  Grab some popcorn and just get ready to laugh.

4. WWE Raw

I always try to catch RAW!  I'm never home on Monday nights cause I'm ironically in wrestling training.  But I catch it on Hulu.  Been a constant for me since I was about 10 years old.  That's saying something!

3. My Name Is Earl

Another show I'm mad I didn't watch when it was on.  This show has me cracking up the whole time I'm watching it.  Maybe cause I"m from a small South Carolina town, so I know some of these people...

2. Total Divas

This show is my guilty pleasure.  I normally don't like this kind of reality show, but with the WWE tied in and getting to see all the backstage lives, it's just like crack.  It just kind of makes me hate John Cena more though...

1. Orange Is The New Black

This show is brilliant!  It's a Netflix original and I can't get enough of it!  The characters are fantastic and played to a T.  It's funny, and the drama of it just keeps you hooked.  If you're not able to watch this due to lack of Netflix, either purchase Netflix or find a friend who has it!
