The bobbinbug Strikes Again

It has been awhile since I posted a picture of my sweet little Claire...Here she is in an adorable dress that Nicole (aka thebobbinbug) made!  I love those two Birmingham girls!

The TV Guide

Now that back-to-school has turned into how many days until Thanksgiving break...and football season is underway,  next up is the beginning of the new TV season.  So I am all conflicted...should I take the plunge and actually commit to a TV show on a weekly basis? Or should I continue on my present course of waiting till a show is in its third or fourth season and finally give in to pressure and "try it" only to be swept up in a frenzy of marathon sessions in which I complete an entire season in a few days...much to the demise of the rest of my life.  In my defense this habit started back when I worked.  I really didn't have time to come home at night and watch TV.  My girls were involved in everything...soccer, piano, dance, cheer leading...and I had to wait for summer to have enough down time to even think about TV!  It was actually during one summer long ago that I first found Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars.  The girls and I would schedule life around our marathon sessions! We loved the immediacy of the whole thing.  No commercials...no cliffhangers!

So let's recount the list of my favorite shows that I have watched (or am watching) well after the fact.

Gilmore Girls (Lorilei and Rory...grow up together...yep they are mother/daughter)

Veronica Mars (Nancy Drew with a twist...or two...or three)

Alias (Lots of good guys and bad guys sometimes a challenge to know who is who)

The Closer (I identify with Brenda Lee for some reason...possibly the cute sweaters she wears and the junkfood drawer!)

24 (Rich and I are still working on this one...7 seasons is a long time)

Glee (Season One...I now watch it weekly)

And just last week Kate and I started Friday Night Lights (have I mentioned that I like football?)

So...is there a show out there that you are rearranging your schedule to make time for?  If so (and assuming it's not in season 5) tell me...should I commit?  What is your favorite show? 

And to wrap this up...I am at this moment (by chance) watching Oprah's opening show for her 25th and final season and really...why didn't I become a fan of hers years ago?  I could be in that studio audience right now...and going to AUSTRALIA...
