I have a friend, LULA, who possesses a certain quality that endeared me to her...her love for TV. Yes, I agree there can be too much TV and that there is a whole lot of TV that is just plain ol' trash...BUT...I am grateful for those moments when I can sit down and be someone else for 30 minutes or more.
Lula just shared some of her TV loves and she inspired me to do the same. So, I proudly introduce to you my old TV flames.
1) The Cosby show...oh my goodness I loved that show! I would laugh so hard when Cliff would roll his eyes in his special way...and I loved the scene when the Hugstable family sang for their grandparents anniversary...and what about Denise and all her crazy life adventures...Theo and his earring?...Kenny and Rudy and their friend, you know the fat boy who would always run out and barely talked...oh so many memories. I wish I could sit on the couch and watch 1/2 hour of the Hugstables with my kids just as I did with my parents
2)Growing Pains...Mike Seaver...is there anything more to say?
3)Family Ties...loved loved loved Alex P. Keaton...my all time favorite was when Alex and his current wife (can't remember her name on the show...Ellen?), anyway when he found her at the train station to tell her he loved her and the song "What Would You Do..." (not quite sure if that is the title, but if you watched that show you MUST know what I'm talking about
4)West Wing...incredible dialogue, and I love Washington D.C.
5)Alias...did y'all know they based the character of Sydney Bristow on me? LOVED HER! I always thought it would be nice some days to sneak away from 'mom world' and go kick some butt like she did...and for my country!!!! I was SO sad when that show ended.
6)24...thanks to my brother Dan I am a 24 follower...although, thanks to the good ol' writer strike I have not seen any of that action since last May! What an amazing writing staff...all the twists and turns...Chloe is the BEST...and when they shot Milo standing only feet away from him, right in the head...you could hear me gasp a mile away! My plan is that they should jsut go ahead and do double seasons. A fall season (that I should be in the midst of right now) and then a Jan-May season. We shall see...24 come back to me!
7) Currently, thanks to my dear friend Lula, I am LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when I saw the previews for this new show called Lost...I really thought it was not going to be anything I loved. Thank you, Lula, for showing me the light...I am a people person and LOVE character development on TV, and that is totally what LOST is about! I LOVE IT...I just started watching this season, which I believe is season 3, but my husband and I have started at season 1 and are trying to get caught up (though I have to say that doesn't make me feel any more FOUND).
Well...that are a few of my favorites...and only one am I currently able to watch. I enjoy TV...and I LOVE to watch it with comfortable friends :)

Remember the good ol' days? Your warm apartment (when mine was so cold!) with brownie batter, coke in a CAN, and an hour of Rosie before she got all psycho and easy to dislike. Sigh...I miss those times.
Love Cosby...Love Family Ties (Alex P. Keaton--the original, shameless Republican!)...and Lost, of course. Truly the greatest. But what I'm cracking up the most over is your "You know they based the character of Sydney Bristow on me?" HILARIOUS!!!!
Good post...loved reading it. Now I wanna watch the anniversary episode of Cosby. Incidentally, the song they sing is "(Night Time Is) The Right Time" by Ray Charles and it's a Litton Family Favorite!!! Libbey can sing it word for word...even the, "BAY-bay..." part. We need to teach it to all our kids so the next time we have a reunion they can gather on the stairs and serenade us. Ha-ha!
