The Vamp Diaries - "We found Papa Original"

Watched Vamp Diaries or TVD on Thursday, but my DVR was acting up and kept stalling bits of it, here and there.

Did get the gist though and most of the episode. So not a big deal. Just aggravating. I think or hope I've finally solved my problems with my set-up DVR. Took forever to get Time Warner to help via the phone, but I did, eventually. Yes, the moans and groans of the technological age.
I don't know what we did without these things. Watched less television most likely. In my case, read and wrote more.

( Vamp Diaries - spoilers for the series up to and including this week's episode )

Also saw Secret Circle - which is getting a bit more interesting. At least this week the heroine was not in direct danger, they are saving that for next week. Also definite chemistry between the heroine and Jake. I rather liked this episode. Also, Gale Harrold is another actor that I enjoy watching in things.

TV Slut rides again: What TV Shows I'm Currently Watching...

I've seen a few people on my flist do this meme. I feel like I've flirted with it, because I'm afraid if I actually do it - people will go, whoa, all she does is watch tv. Not true. I actually spend little time watching it - about two hours if that a night, handful on the weekend. See? There's these handy little things called DVR's that can record up to 32 hours of tv shows at a time. I think a bit less for HDTV, which makes no sense...does HDTV take up more room? Anyhow, most of the year - I have up to 10-15 tv show episodes sitting on my DVR waiting for me to watch them (most are Nikita at the moment), which I'll either do when there's nothing else on, or delete if I never get around to it and the DVR has gotten too full. I watch very few shows live. The other handy device is "netflix", which mails to my door DVD's of TV shows and films, that I can watch whenever I want. As a result of these two nifty technological achievements - I watch a lot more tv each year than I used to, but spend less time doing it. Odd, I know, but there it is.

So keep the above in mind when you read my list. Also - I don't have access to Showtime or Starz, any tv show that appears on those networks is limited to netflix DVD's during the summer.

TV is a good thing, bright lights and tiny pretty little people, okay more like shiny, not necessarily always pretty...and since I watch so much? Divided by category with cut-tags for easier reading. And...another caveat? I'm not including any tv shows that are on hiatus, such as Mad Men, Game, True Blood, etc. Because this would take forever. When I say, I'm a tv slut, I'm not kidding. ;-)

1) ( The Soap Operas )

2) ( the Serials/dramas and yes there's a difference between soap opera and serial. )

3) ( the genre serials or fantasy/horror serials, they aren't soaps even if they feel like them, because mythology comes first and very plot driven. )

4.) These are programs that combine the case of the week with an on-going serial plot thread, which is often in the background but in the case of the Good Wife, may at times take over the show, while the case of the week lurks behind it. They aren't pure serial like the above. ( the Pseudo Serial/Procedural Combos - The Good Wife to House )

5) ( Comedies )
