Blacklist, Game of Thrones, Grimm, Parenthood, Walking Dead, Criminal Minds, Gotham, Arrow, Supernatural (loved comic books as a kid), True Detective (at least the first and only season so far) and any comedy that can occasionally make me laugh out loud, like Mike and Molly (Mike sinking the fishing boat trying to get a phone signal), Two and Half Men (Jake and Holland Taylor in the Squab, squab, squab episode from Season 2), Big Bang Theory (Sheldon learning to drive).

I have too much time on my hands ;-)

Blacklist, Scandal and Castle. I still haven't figured out How to get away with Murder.....shows that keep going back and forth between present time and past events can just get too darn confusing.

Now, I'm waiting for Christmas movies....old ones and new ones. I can't get enough of those.....just love White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street and It's A Wonderful Life.

Ever since the ending of Lost, we have sworn off network TV series. I also have a low tolerance for commercials, so we end up watching a lot of movies and Netflix shows. This time of the year we are enjoying cheesy Halloween movies. It started with Blackula, then Scream Blackula Scream, Dracula, Frankenstein every night another delight. We also enjoy the humor in Ancient Aliens. Just the fact than Giorgio Tsoukalos hair is able to defy gravity to the extent it does fascinates us. For more serious TV there is always Game of Thrones and House of Cards.

Breaking Bad (watched throughout treatment) is a favorite; Boardwalk Empire, though not so much this season; Frasier always cheers me up; and I find Law and Order (the original) very calming in it's predictable format.
