Before I get into it, I need to whine for a minute. My feet are so incredibly sore. I went to visit Beth Ann for lunch on West, and instead of parking inches away from my destination, the deck was closed and I had to park miles away and walk. In heels. In really cute by not at all comfortable heels. And now I have blisters. And they hurt. Bad. But lunch was good. I miss Beth Ann.
Now. Television. My favorite past time. I’ve been pondering how to break it down for you. Last year I gave you the run through by day, but nowadays, I rarely watch a show the day it airs. So, let me give you my top shows. I realize not everyone can be as committed and dedicated to TV as I am, so if you only have a few hours a week to spare, these are the shows you should be watching (why? because I said so, and I’m never wrong).
Ellen – Guaranteed to increase your quality of life. I promise. Everybody needs to laugh, and if you’re not laughing at Ellen, then you have no idea what funny is. I Heart Ellen.
The OC – You already know how I love this show. And that I think you’re crazy if you arent watching it.
Veronica Mars – My new love. *kiss*
Gilmore Girls – In its 5th season, this show sure has had its ups and downs. But the relationship between these women never fails to be intriguing. I know boys are afraid to watch this show because its all about women, but if you’re half smart, and at all interested in understanding the ways of a woman, then this show would be an excellent study guide.
nip/tuck – For all the people that wish they were a lot more badass than they actually are. You, too, can live vicariously through Sean, Julia and Christian. This is the most shockingly dirty show I’ve ever seen. And I’m not afraid to admit I enjoy every minute of it.
Grey’s Anatomy – For all those that got tyerd of ER. It’s not just another hospital show.
Desperate Housewives – Even my pastor watches this show.
All the other shows I watch:
Alias – The only reason I didnt recommend this show is because its too damn late for you. If you arent already watching this show, I’m afraid you’ve missed the boat. If you are watching this show, you must be as anxious as I am for the premiere. Unfortunately, it’s not till Sept 29 (though thats better than waiting till January).
Everwood – You know I’m a WB junkie. But really, this show is very good.
Lost – JJ Abrams knows what he’s doing and I trust him.
ER – I’m sorry, I cant stop watching this show. Even after Carter left. Its like caring for a really old dog, you kinda want it to die, put it out of its misery… but at the same time, you dont want it to leave.
One Tree Hill – If I had to drop a show, it’d be this one. Four high schoolers, living in a town on the water, eventually they all hook up with each other… wait, where have I heard that before?
Numbers – The Steve likes this show, and I’ll watch it if there’s nothing else to do. Its good.
Las Vegas – Another show The Steve watches. But there’s no denying Vanessa Marcil’s hotness. I’ll watch.
The Office – I know it’s not as good as the British one. But I’m gonna give it another shot.
My new picks for the fall, will they make it?
Bones – Rachel told me about this show. It has something to do with bones. But, uh, David Boreanaz is in it. That’s enough for me.
Supernatural – Hmm, really, I dont just pick shows because of the cute boys. But, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are the only reason I’m watching this show. It might prove too scary for me, though.
How I Met Your Mother – The premise doesnt sound like it can last too long (but thats what I thought about Lost) I’m desperate for another half hour sitcom.
Kitchen Confidential - I think this show looks really funny. Bradley Cooper, Bonnie Somerville and Jaime King. Mmm mmm good.
Arrested Development – This show has been around and the critics love it. I’ve watched it a couple of times, and I laughed enough. But Charlize Theron is guest starring. We all know how I feel about her.
Love, Inc. – I believe now that UPN can have good TV. I saw a preview for this show and it made me laugh out loud. It has that guy from Rat Race that got his tongue pierced. Heh.
Ghost Whisperer – There’s a 99% chance this show will suck hard. But The Steve loves The Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Inconceivable – I’m intrigued, thats all.
Commander in Chief – Woman president? hell yes. I read an article in Entertainment Weekly, and I have nothing against Geena Davis.
Well, I think that’s it. If I keep all these new shows, that equals 20 hours of television a week. I said I was dedicated.

Awesome. “Sabrina’s Picks” have heavy influence in our household. You should distribute laminated versions of these for folks to keep on their coffee tables.

sabi – i must say that you watch more tv than anyone i know…and a more ecletic collection of it than anyone i know. and how can any red blooded woman not watch a show starring david boreanaz? mmm!
christin
i feel like i hardly know you. you watch Everwood? How DO you feel about Charlize Theron, cuz’ apparently, I don’t *know* like everyone else! and I also didn’t know you liked David Boreanz!!! i love how you said: “it’s something about bones.” You are presh.
I don’t have time to watch half of these but your top ones? I watch 99% of them. I would also add 24 to the list, but we only watch that on DVD because we missed the first 3 seasons, and then started the 4th season too late – so now we have to wait til those come out. you see my dilemma here.

Oh and Joan of Arcadia…now i’m off to get a life.
Sabrina
Shoot! I forgot Scrubs! I watch that one too, and enjoy it more every season. I knew I’d forget one.
Joan of Arcadia was a great show, though the first season was better than the second… too bad they didnt give it a junior year shot.
Lets see, I missed the boat on 24, it was too much of a committment at the time. Maybe one day I’ll get the dvds, like, if I get mono or something.
Christin, darling, you dont know me at all. Shame.
