a return to television (2013 edition)

This has become an annual thing.  I decided. Just now. Because I'm bored. And I'll dedicate to Whimsy again because she asked again. 

Last year I listed what I would and would not be watching.  Link is here:  2012's return to television

Please note that I am posting this exactly a year to the day I posted last year. You know why?  Because I'm awesome and bored (still).

Last year was a total wash because I so totally got into "Arrow". I mean, like I really got into "Arrow". Also, I'm still watching "Revolution". I know, I know. I ENJOY WATCHING IT. I don't know why. It's a thing.

And while I'm on the subject of crappy TV shows that I watch, let me address this to assholes who think their opinion on my shows is of any interest to me... Shut the fuck up.  I don't tell you what I think about your crappy taste in music, books, television, sports, and/or politics so keep yours to yourself.  Oh and feel free to unfollow me.  I'll return the favor happily.

Yeah, I'm a little peeved about the aforementioned assholes.

I digress.

Most of the new shows I watched last year were canceled which is no surprise, but I'm still smarting over "Ben and Kate". It was FUCKING good. Oh and I totally liked "The Mob Doctor". I know it was doomed, but I got off on it.  William Forsythe was fantastic.  James Carpinello was outstanding. They shot it in Chicago. It just needed a different name. Also a different network probably...

Let's focus on 2013's Fall TVseason...

What I Am/Will Be Watching (new shows): 
The Blacklist  - This pilot was so fucking good that I've watched it 3 times now.
Hostages -  I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.  I'm in.
Sleepy Hollow -  Tom Mison is in it and so am I
Brooklyn Nine -Nine - I'm in.
Dads - I will watch anything Peter Reigert chooses to grace with his presence.
Masters of Sex -  I'm in.  I'm way in.  I'm in like that big glass vibrator in the pilot in. 
Hello Ladies - Stephen Merchant
Welcome to the Family - I laughed watching this pilot. I laughed a lot.
The Michael J. Fox Show - I laughed and Katie Finneran and Wendell Pierce.
Marvel's Agents of Shield - or whatever the hell the title is 


What I Am/Will Continue To Watch (old shows): 
Homeland
American Horror Story
Parenthood
Revenge 
Mike and Molly (I'm done)
Raising Hope
The Office (RIP - sniffle)
Scandal
Grey's Anatomy (I'm done)
Private Pactice  (RIP - sniffle)
The Good Wife
Parks & Rec
Law & Order: SVU
Modern Family 
Blue Bloods
Nashville
Haven
Last Man Standing  (I know one other person who watches this and she agrees with me - Mandy is awesome)
Arrow
Once Upon a Time



What I Absolutely Will Not Get Sucked Into NO MATTER WHAT (I have my reasons):
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (is this what it's called? I'm purposely not paying attention to it)
We Are Men 
Mom
Lucky 7
That James Caan sitcom that Whimsy reminded me of that I still don't know the title of. 
IRONSIDE (because some of us remain loyal to Raymond Burr and Don Galloway-a very few of us I'm sure, but I'm making a stand here)
 

What I've Already Tried And Decided No, No, Not Watching This: 
The Goldbergs  (too noisy for me)
Trophy Wife  (I am exhausted of big family sitcoms - I may just be exhausted of child actors)  
The Crazy Ones (history will prove that I detest all David E. Kelley TV shows, this is no exception)

What I May Try But Haven't Made Up My Mind Yet:
Dracula  
The Sean Hayes show that I actually don't know the title of. 
We Are the Millers (is this right?)
Super Fun Night 
The Originals


What I Didn't Want to Watch But Got Sucked Into: 
Betrayal 
Masterchef Junior

I'm totally forgetting something(s) but my laptop is freaking out, and I need a cocktail so I'll just revise as it occurs to me.

Things I Would Do To A 500 lb. Cheesecake

Tomorrow night at the White House Staff Inaugural Ball lucky attendees get to eat a 500 lb. cheesecake. Here are details. 500 lb Cheesecake from Eli's I am consumed with just the thought of 500 lbs of creaminess. These are the things I would do to that wheel of sugar and eggs and cream cheese if I were left alone in the White House, or any house really, with it. 1.)  Stick my face directly into the middle of it and start eating my way to the edge. 2.)  Eat it spoonful by spoonful even if it takes me all year. 3.)  Pour heated hot fudge sauce all over it then begin licking. 4.)  Rub at least 5 lbs of the cheesecake all over my body and writhe in happiness. 5.)  Smoosh a 25 lbs of it on white canvas, matte and frame it, hang it on my wall, and write sonnets to it for the rest of my life. 6.)  Buy a California King sized bed so I could sleep with my arms wrapped around it every night. 7.)  And then eat a little for breakfast every mor...

and once again...

It's been awhile so I have more TV thoughts to expound upon because as well know...TV is what I do best. In no particular order: 1. Dear 30 Rock...I know it's fun to mock Liz Lemon but this season it's getting out of hand. I am, possibly, internalizing it too much, but when loyal, lovable Floyd calls Liz Lemon a badger I think you've gone too far. 2. Additionally 30 Rock, I'm not laughing as much as I used to. Don't get me wrong. I still laugh-specifically last week when you made the pranksters get naked and they were all screaming like girls, but I'm not rolling around in hysterics over every single of minute like I used to. That makes me sad. I depended on 30 Rock for the absurdist, surreal and just flat out manic laughs that it delivered Seasons 1 through 3. 3. I know some BSG fans don't like Caprica. I am not one of them. I have watched each episode of Caprica at least 3 times. It may be Eric Stoltz & Esai Morales & Sasha Roiz & that ...

You know you're alone on a Sunday afternoon... (randomish again)

... when you realize just how loudly you're singing along to a Bob Dylan song.  Essentially it's when your voice is reverberating off the ceiling in the dining room and because you're so freaking tone deaf it hurts your own ears. ...when you make strawberry-basil ice cubes to for a strawberry-basil cocktail that was in Saturday's Wall Street Journal.  I mean, I even made simple syrup.  Yikes. ...when you spend about two hours searching bread pudding recipes, you make the bread pudding, and then proceed to eat half of the pan before you realize just how many eggs and how much cream you put in this goddamn bread pudding.  So worth it though.  Did I mention I took photos too? I did.  Further, I reviewed and rated the recipe (seriously, it's a damn good recipe - here's a link Bread Pudding II (also known as the one recipe that didn't require 'hot milk') Prep! Pre-Bake Post-Bake/Pre-Eaten ...when you actually resort to emailing fami...
