TV Shows......

I have been watching Breaking Amish too. There was a show years ago, I think it was called Amish in the City. It was sort of the same premise, but the Amish people lived in a big house with "regular" people as roommates, and at one point they took them back to see how the Amish lived as well. I find it really interesting! She don't have Amish here, but we have Hutterites who basically live the same way. We have bought a lot of meat and vegetables from them but don't really know much about how they live.

It is really interesting learning their beliefs and how they live. I saw a little bit of this show the last time it was on, but didn't get to watch it all. I think I remember the other one you've mentioned. There are so many unless you write them all down it's hard to remember from year to year or season to season what was one.

Real TV is back this week! Hurray!

I watch NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, Criminal Minda, The Mentalist, CSI, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, and the Office. I DVR those, and DVR Dr. Phil and Anderson Live during the day. I love all of the shows you all mentioned, like Pawn Stars, and all the collectors and antique pickers. They are such fun! I love Hoarders, and on HGTV there is a show "Million Dollar Rooms" that makes me so happy! The extravagance is amazing!

Then, there are my guilty pleasures, which consists of Investigation Discovery, etc. All these shows about murders, serial killers, and Who the **** Did I Marry?
Give me a good serial killer, and I'm happy! I don't know why I enjoy these shows, but I find them fascinating. The crazier, the better. Go figure that one out!

I watched Upstairs/Downstairs on PBS last night. The 1st season aired in 2010. They showed 3 episodes of season 1 last night and I think 3 episodes next Sunday night, proabaly until seasons 1 & 2 are aired. I think they must be rerunning seasons 1 and 2, getting ready for a new season 3 soon, although I'm not sure. It was good though. It is much like Downton Abbey - which is a fabulous PBS series on British aristocracy and their servants. I like Downton better, but Upstairs/Downstairs is good too.

There's a new PBS series that started last night, Call the Midwife. It was really good. It's about 4 midwives in London (I think it's London, maybe not) in the 1950's. I really liked it.

I've also been watching Land Girls on PBS, and it is good, but I've missed some episodes, I need to get caught up. I have Hulu and can usually get caught up on some things that way.

The Midwives sounds interesting! There is a book by Chris Bohjalian that is supposed to be really great called Midwives. I wonder if the TV show is similar.

I watched 666 Park Avenue last night. It is really good...evil on Park Avenue!

Linds, there is a show about the Hutterites on TV here. The girls do not seem to be so happy, I have to say.

I read somewhere that the Hutterites were not happy with how the show was turning out.

I do have to say that we watch a LOT of Mickey Mouse!!!! Not my choice!!!!
