Autumn/Late Summer Television Watching

Shows that I'm hooked into...

REVENGE
Set in the affluent Hamptons, Revenge is pure eye-candy for the snob in me. I have real estate envy on the main character's ( Emily Thorne's) beach front cottage. The plot is not too bad either and after two episodes, has me hooked in already..
Monday, TV2 9:30pm

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

Half a decade ago, my favourite tv shows to watch were Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and Lost. However, New Zealand soon got invaded by the sudden influx of C.S.I and Criminal Minds-esque shows, then along with the Screen Actor's Guild strikes in Hollywood circa. mid 2010, good TV shows were hard to find. The ones I watched became dull, boring, predictable and pretty soon I turned to YouTube for new blood. But six years on, Desperate Housewives is finishing up its final season with what promises to be a great finale.. and so far I'm liking it.

Monday, TV2 8:30pm.

NEW GIRL

29 year-old school teacher Jess suddenly finds her self single and dating again.... wait. 

Is this a biography of my life? It's pretty spookingly close to my own tragi-comic year.

I looove Zooey Deschanel (see 'The Happening' with her in lead with Mark Walberg) and I love this show so far.

Channel Four, Tuesday 8pm

GO GIRLS
Not bad for a New Zealand drama. The main character Kevin is not bad on the eye either and Anna Hutchison, bearable to watch.
TV2, Tuesday, 8:30pm.

DOWNTON ABBEY

I am a sucker for a good historical drama and Downton is set in an old English manor around the First World War. I love how this show explores the social classes of old-England and its preoccupation with ridiculous and fastidious etiquette. Worth buying the box set and settling in to watch this one dreary winter.

TV2, Tuesday, 8:30pm.

ONCE UPON A TIME 

I don't know. Is this going to be whimsical nonsense? The premise of the show could turn the plotline into the "cheesy" category. Fairytale characters living in modern times, not knowing their true identity? The second episode has barely scraped by on the watchable radar. Time will tell. 

Thursday, TV2 8:30pm.

MIRANDA 

I know I'm a bit late on the bandwagon for this one, but this show calls for a LMAO comment.

I'm not particularly addicted, but every time I watch it, I find myself LoLling- eek I said that ghastly word.  Miranda Hart is a comedian, a giant, and a huge personality. Her terrible blonde friend in the picture, is from Smack the Pony- a show I loved in Britain. 

Thursday, TV One (I know) 9:30pm.

What are your favourite shows?
