Don't we all love fall? I love fall weather. I love scarves, obsession from my mission. I love hot chocolate and tea, another obsession from my mission. And yes, I love Ute football. And this year my cousin, Coleman, is the kicker, which makes games even more exciting. I love trees and their changing leaves. I love Halloween. Who doesn't love to dress up and eat all the free candy they can get? I love butternut squash soup, however Mitch does not. When I was in college I loved fall for many reasons. The beginning of a new semester always brought excitement, Ute football, campus and Chi Omega Rush (slightly vain, I know). Now that my college days are long gone. I have a new found love in fall, TV. I am not ashamed to admit it. I love shows and I love them even more when I haven't seen them. Disclaimer #1: Did not have a TV through all of college. I had no idea what shows people loved. In fact, I didn't even know what 24 was. Awesome, right? Seriously, it was awesome.
After I got married I started having "my shows". I blame this on the fact that I moved to Minnesota where it is absolutely freezing outside and the most time I could cross country ski in one day was an hour. I also blame this on the fact that I Mitch and I seriously knew no one our first month there. So, now I am a person of shows.
My favorites include:
Tuesday Nights:
- NCIS, go ahead and laugh. But it's addicting. And yes, the show is made for old people.
- The Biggest Loser. I have only seen one entire season of this show, but every time I watch it I cry. I do love this show.
- Parenthood. I love this show for so many reasons. My good friend Megan got me hooked.
Wednesday Nights:
- Modern Family. I laugh every episode. Last year I had dance on this night, so I missed most of the episodes. But Mitch is obsessed.
- SVU. I used to love this show, but it's not on the top of my list.
Thursday Nights:
- 30 ROCK!! I love, love, love this show. It makes me laugh all the time. Mitch and I watched all the seasons on Netflix last winter and I am looking forward to watching the show on TV. And if you watch 30 Rock and NCIS, you will get all the NCIS jokes. They are sooooooooooooooooo funny!
Sunday Nights:
- Amazing Race. I have only seen one season. Megan also got me hooked to this show last year. And I love it. I might need Megan here to help me watch it again this year!
Others: (Yes, I even have an others column)
- Friday Night Lights. I can honestly say this is my favorite show I have ever watched. I am really sad it's over.
- Suits. It's on USA. I watch it online. And I really like it.
- Covert Affairs. So, I only actually saw about 1.5 episodes this year. But I do like it.
- Chicago Code. It used to be on Fox and was canceled in May. It was my favorite new show last year.
- SYTYCD! I have only seen three entire episodes. But I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to watch an entire season...one day.
- Debates. I know this doesn't actually count as a show. But aren't they so exciting? And election season is just about to start. Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I love politics. I even bought my first campaign button, it makes me so happy.
- Chopped. I have no idea what time or what day this show is on. But every time I watch I have a great desire to make something delicious to eat with random ingredients. This doesn't ever actually happen, but it's a great thought.
*Disclaimer #2. I don't actually ever sit down and watch any of these shows when they air on TV. Mitch and I basically have no time here. Between school, job #1, job #2, visitors and trying to prepare some kind of meal each night, I feel lucky if I get five minutes of alone time with Mitch. We end up eating dinner about 9:00 pm every night and going to bed at 1:00 am. My life currently has no structure. It's basically fabulous. Back to TV. I haven't watched any actual TV, except CNN...of course (it's always on in DC, everywhere you go), since moving here. I just find catch up time to go back and watch them online. I have an hour lunch break every day, I am way too cheap to go out to eat and I don't have a car at work. So, I watch shows.
Basic point I am making here...none.
Happy Wednesday!

We love Suits!! If you and Mitch need a series recommendation, we also love White Collar.
And yes, Modern Family... oh man. The best.
PARENTHOOD!! i am so in love. i will sink into a deep depression if that show is ever canceled.
SYTYCD is my fave summer show.
also love modern family (but come on, who doesn't?) and watched the whole 30 Rock series this year.
wait til you have a baby... then you will have daytime shows! Mine are today, regis and kelly, ellen, and sometimes other series i'm watching on netflix. currently: jon & kate plus 8 (so embarrassing. i hate myself) and felicity.
did i tell you there is a flat screen tv right next to my desk that plays CNN all day? it makes me so happy.
modern family in t minus 24 minutes. sure wish we lived closer and could watch together every week. love you.
You are too funny! And we are totally "show" people here in our house. Gotta love Nebraska winters. We LOVE LOVE LOVE 30 Rock too. And Parenthood and Modern Family. I think you would like Parks and Rec - as if you need another show to watch. But it's hilarious. Love you!
I love TV. not afraid to admit that one. I loved this post, because it was like having a conversation with you! I want to call you but don't know when with your new job and busy schedule. we need to figure that one out. love you sar. and my new fav show is new girl. well i have only seen one episode. but it was funny. loves.
I'm thinking your show schedule on Thursday is looking a little weak. You should probably start watching Project Runway also. Even James watches it with me, but he probably doesn't want everyone knowing that. It's the bomb.com.
Sar, I too LOVE tv and am not afraid to admit it. I just recently discovered parenthood and love it. Don't worry, I watched two seasons of fringe in two weeks (you should watch that one.)
