Television

Within the past two years I have discovered that there are actually really good shows on television. Before that I was stuck watching Animal Planet and Grey's Anatomy reruns with my mom. After I discovered The Office, about 6 seasons late, and fell in love with it's humor I realized that the TV world is way more appealing than I thought. I then proceeded to make lists of shows that I wanted to watch. I wasn't really aware that Netflix was a TV thing so I never got to watch anything I wanted to. I have a rule when it comes to just about everything that has a beginning. It is "Thou shalt always start from the beginning, never the middle, never the end." This may even be my motto. I hate not knowing what has happened before because you miss so much! What I am trying to say is that I am still really behind on my TV shows. I have started watching them on Hulu which I love. I have noticed that people either love it or hate it. On Monday I got Netflix and I am not sure how I feel about it yet.
Pros:
No commercials.
A lot of my favorite shows are on there.
Cons:
It mostly just a bunch of crap movies and shows.

I spent a long time sifting through it trying to find the gems. Here's what I found.

Shows that I have seen and love:

This show is the best. Ever. Fact: My best friends uncle's cousin is Jason Bateman. They played together as kids. I almost feel related to fame.

Ok so the thing is... Outsourced was first and indie film (on Netflix) then a TV show (not on Netflix but on Hulu). In my opinion the TV show is better than the movie, but they are both good. I love Gupta.

Enough said.

Pan Am is not on Netflix or Hulu, and it was cancelled. I was so upset. First of all, it was such an amazing show. The characters are so dynamic. I now have this dream of being a flight attendant. I loved the style, music, adventures, and the history too. I love movies and show that include real history. I basically freaked out after watching the season finale with that cliffhanger! And when I found out that I would never know if Teddy and Laura would ever be together (stupid pregnant ex-fiance) I was devistated. Is anyone else as upset as I?

Pushing Daisies is one of my all time favorites. It's a whimsical murder mystery with a twist. "I would kiss you if it wouldn't kill me." This show was cancelled as well, and it's not on Netflix or Hulu.... but I highly suggest finding it and watching it.

Shows I want to see:

Last week I watched the first episode at a friends house and now I want to see more.

I have a friend that quotes this daily.

Said friend quotes this daily too.

This is not a completed list. I feel like there is too many to list in one sitting.

If you have a favorite show I would love to hear about it! What do you like/dislike about Netflix/Hulu? Have any questions about my favorite shows? Or just want to talk about them?

 I know that there are a lot of things I should be doing instead of watching TV all day... but what can you do?
