New TV season

I'm gearing up for the new TV shows to start. I don't have much time to watch TV, but I manage to squeeze plenty of it in each week when necessary, thanks to tivo. And by necessary, I mean, watching shows like...

The Office - Most people seem to like this show. It's painfully awkward at times, but oh-so-funny. J always enjoys the "boy humor", which never strikes me nearly as funny as it does him. But, it's just one of those shows with a little something for everyone. My favorite character is Andy - I laugh out loud when he sings.

Biggest Loser - I find this show downright inspiring. While I haven't been stick thin since about the 5th grade, I never struggled with being obese either. The people who go on this show probably all qualify as obese and they do amazing things during the course of the season. Kudos to them for being brave enough to stand in front of America in very little clothing and get weighed. Then, they let us watch them shed pound after pound through good ol' sweat and tears. Maybe I like it too because Allison Sweeney, aka Sami from "Days", is the host. I watched far too much Days in college...anywho...I'm always motivated after I watch. I only wish my elliptical was in front of my TV instead of in the basement facing the concrete blocks. Watching spiders isn't nearly as inspiring.

Lipstick Jungle - This could definitely be added to my "Guilty Pleasures" (or, this category could easily be titled "Kind of Embarrassed to Admit I Like") list down on the right side of the blog. I can't remember exactly how I got hooked on this show...probably the same way I got snagged into "What About Brian?"...how sad that that show is gone. I digress. Anyways, LJ is just a fun girly show...a little like Sex in the City, I suppose. Not something you watch with your kids. Not something J would ever watch with me. I'm a Brooke Shields fan - especially after the whole Tom Cruise/PPD thing. I was a 90210 junkie, so was happy to see Lindsay Price renew her acting career. And Andrew McCarthy...hello? Pretty in Pink? If only Molly Ringwald were in it too.

Let's hear some of your "must see's" and, more importantly, your embarrassed-to-admit-you-watch shows. Come on now, we don't all just watch CNN. What show or movie do you always stop and watch at least part of? For the record, I always stop and watch "Steel Magnolias" even though I own a copy. Love that Sally Fields.
