The Obsession

I have a problem. and i am the first one to admit it (it's the first step right?). i watch a lot of tv. i mean a LOT. prior to getting a PVR i kept 4 6-hour VHS tapes on rotation so that i could tape everything and be able to watch it all. Ry and i live in a 570 sq ft apartment and we have 3 tv's. at one point i wanted to install a series of mirrors in the hallway so that i could watch tv while in the bathroom. (the room is too small for a set fo its own, unfortunately). i calculated it out and on average i watch about 45 hours of tv a week. (my FULL-TIME job is only 35 hours a week). i fear going away for long periods of time cause i dont trust my pvr to not erase something i really wanted to watch. i am super nervous about going on my honeymoon cause it will be during season premiere time, and i hate missing out on those first episodes of the season... pathetic, i know.

my (continually growing) list of shows are (in no particular order):
  1. Gossip Girl
  2. 90210
  3. Melrose Place
  4. Heros
  5. House
  6. Ghost Hunters (if you dont believe in ghosts, watch the Manson Mansion episode and tell me if you change your mind)
  7. Destination Truth (the host - Josh Gates - is the bravest man i have ever seen)
  8. Hoarders (though this may be dropping from the line-up soon as its super repetitive)
  9. American Idol
  10. So You Think You Can Dance
  11. So You Think You Can Dance Canada
  12. America's Next Top Model
  13. Canada's Next Top Model
  14. Britain's Next Top Model
  15. Modern Family
  16. Lost
  17. Community
  18. Parks and Recreation
  19. The Office
  20. 30 Rock
  21. Fringe
  22. Grey's Anatomy
  23. The Simpsons
  24. Family Guy
  25. South Park
  26. Biggest Loser
  27. How I Met Your Mother
  28. Survivor
  29. The Bachelor (i am ashamed about this one)
  30. Project Runway
  31. Project Runway Canada
  32. Dexter
  33. Weeds
  34. Saturday Night Live
  35. Amazing Race
  36. The Apprentice (occasionally)
  37. Worst Week
  38. Canada's Worst Driver
  39. C.S.I
  40. Ghost Hunter's Academy
  41. Oprah
  42. Jersey Shore (super ashamed about this one)
  43. Paris Hilton: My New Best Friend
  44. Kenny vs. Spenny (occasionally)
  45. Ugly Betty
  46. Wipeout

Not to mention:

  • all those one-off shows that only last one season but involve a bunch of bitchy girls living in a gorgeous mansion vying to be the next big thing. Love the drama.
  • Ry's shows
  • Movies that i always wanted to watch but never did and they play on tbs like 6 times a day
  • re-runs of Seinfeld, Robot Chicken, South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy etc
  • all the bridal shows i have been obsessed with watching to help plan with my wedding

So as you can see i have a problem. But i am damn proud of it.

WOW! I really like Criminal Minds, CSI, Dexter, 18 Kids and Counting (that whole can't-look-away thing), but I can take TV or leave it. It just happens that my laptop is in the living room, and I turn the TV on for background noise.
I am impressed you can manage to watch all those shows every week!
