TV JUNKIE

Yup, I have always been a TV Junkie. Gosh, from the time I was old enough to watch Sampaguita and LVN movies after school, to Heredero and Yagit, to Pinoy Big Brother (First Season). From The Love Boat, to Dynasty, to Knots Landing and Falcon Crest. From 90210 to Melrose Place. I am a true sucker for telenovelas, soap operas and different series. Now, well I cannot say that choices are better, but I take time out to download episodes from these shows. So here is my list of guilty pleasures...

1. Project Runway (US) Sadly I was not able to catch the Philippine series, but Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are my constant favorites. I like this show because the drama is just restricted to creating beautiful dresses. When they bitch about others, it is really based on their performance as designers. And oh, those creations they make are such work of art! That for a time, I thought about making my own clothes (haha, in my dreams)...I love this show because I love looking at clothes made from scratch, newspaper, what have you. So interesting...

2. Greys Anatomy ...I downloaded the first two episodes, but I have yet to see if they live up to their hype. Last season was not as great as the previous ones, but each episode never fails to make me cry. Whether it is about love, or reality, I still learn something from this show, even if it gets a little cheesy..

3. Gossip Girl...Haha.... A 33 year old housewife like me should be into Desperate Housewives, but no. I LOVE this show!!! It allows me to just relax when I watch this, not to think too much, and enjoy the scenes (pretty girls, pretty dresses, gorgeous men!) The show can be influential in some ways, I mean sometimes, it is just a little inspiring to be as scheming as Blair and Georgina!

4. Mad Men.... Hands down, my ultimate favorite for this season. I loved it the first season, the second, and I always find myself begging for more. The whole sixties theme is just amazing, and maybe it is me, but there are just so many metaphors, hidden issues that one can pick up in this show. It is poetry and history meticulously woven in an advertising agency, and in a nuclear family. It is so engaging, although many of my friends find it a little too dark, or boring. But the sight of John Hamm, lighting a cigarette? My week is almost complete...

6. True Blood... Sad but the season just ended. LOVE this, too. As I wrote in my status in facebook, after crashing on True Blood, I just cant take it in small doses. I can watch 3 episodes in one sitting... and I can hold my pee, too... drat, cant wait for the new season...
