I easily become obsessed with things. I find a song I like and I listen to it repeatedly until I tire of it. I find a show I like on Hulu or through Netflix and I watch every single episode, as fast as possible. I find an author I like and I have to read all of their books. So, I thought I would give a list of television shows that I am obsessed with right now, as a snapshot of what I do with my spare TV time. These don't include my normal shows; these are just shows I have discovered recently.
Battlestar Galactica
I know, I am late in the game on this one. I've avoided it for years. Then I stumbled on a 90 minute show called Caprica on Hulu. I loved it. Turns out that it is a prequel to Battlestar Galactica. Brian and I rented the first disc of season one and we are hooked. Luckily, I have downgraded my Netflix membership to 1 disc at a time. It is keeping this obsession a bit under control.
Intervention
Brian and I have been watching every episode we can find online of this A&E show. You get to look inside the day-to-lives of addicts and see their families and friends before they have an intervention. It is very personal and heartbreaking.
Three Sheets
On New Year's we discovered this show on Hulu. Thank goodness for Hulu, without it we never would have discovered our new favorite TV personality. Zane Lamprey hosts this show where each episode features him drinking in a new city. So far we have watched him in Paris, Tokyo, Prague, New York and many more places. He is my new drinking muse.
Adam Richman eating at Katz Deli. That is one of my favorite New York meals.
Man vs. Food
Similar to Zane Lamprey in his shenanigans, Adam Richman visits one city per episode and takes on one big food challenge. It is always either some huge food, like a 6 pound burrito, or something really spicy, like sushi made with the ghost pepper. It is oddly compelling to see if he can do it. If you have Netflix Instant Watch, seasons one and two are on there.
Other shows that I haven't made up my mind about are Hoarders, Ghost Hunters, and Legend of the Seeker.
Anyone know of any new shows that I should try? I am always looking for good filler while I am knitting or doing cross-stitch.
