Summer Television: What I’m Watching

By

Television is my absolute favorite. I know it’s rotting my brain, but I just can’t stop. I LOVE IT! Even though my favorite Fall shows are on re-runs (No I don’t watch re-runs of those) I’m enjoying new summer television.  Most summers I don’t get excited about summer programming but this year I’m really enjoying it. So here’s what I’m watching this summer!

Big Brother 16

Big Brother is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I don’t get to enjoy it live, so I DVR it and watch after the boys go to bed. Would I like to watch the live feeds after dark? Yes! But I mean really, I don’t get enough sleep as it is so I don’t. I always consider buying the extras too. LOL  So far I’m enjoying the game and keeping up with the BB16 Twitter feed. You can get some good updates just keeping an eye on it.

My favorite players so far? Donny hands down. I’m sad that Joey got sent packing at the first eviction. I’m also hoping Brittany makes it a little further. We need a girl to win!! BRAVO

Ah Bravo.. Truly my favorite channel, unless they are showing movies. I need my shows on 24/7 Andy Cohen! Seriously, I’ve caught myself leaving it on the channel until the info-mercials come on. Not going to lie, I am almost purchased Hip Hop Abs the other night.. For $19.95.. yeah.. But I didn’t..

Here are my favorite shows on Bravo! 

Dont Be Tardy

Kim Zolciak-Bierman, her honey Kroy and their family are so cute and I can’t look away! Two teenage girls, and four babies under four! I totally cried during the first episode while they showed the birth of their twins too! Makes me want a baby, umm ok maybe not! But I’ll keep watching! RHONJ

I actually watch all of the Real Housewives shows, but I wanted to spare you. I can’t help it. I’m a bit of a voyeur. But I think it’s healthy, it’s not like I think we are friends, the housewives and I.. There’s a few new ladies on the Jersey crew and the jury is still out.. Even though Theresa & Joe plead guilty to the charges, I am really hoping for the best for them. I hope their girls have family they can reach out to in case they do go to the pen though. 🙁 the bridge on fox

Did you catch this show last summer? I was completely obsessed with it. Diane Kruger is such a great actor. Her character, Sonya Cross is pretty bad ass. The Bridge is set in El Paso, Texas so you can imagine the type of cases she gets. I’m excited for it to start up again.

This show was the topic of a lot of discussion last year. Was it appropriate for there to be all Latin maids, etc. You know what I thought about the debate? Who cares! I actually like the show too! It’s in it’s second season and more of the secrets are unraveling. It’s on Lifetime and I hope they keep renewing it.
true bloodOh say it ain’t so! This is the last season of True Blood on HBO and I am sad. I love the whole Vampire thing and I’m going to miss this show and it’s serious eye candy. If you watch it, you know of the character deaths that are making me batty. That damn Vampire HEP disease is just reeking too much havoc and I don’t want Eric and Bill to die!! I mean why can’t Sookie zap it out of them? Anyways.. I’ll be sad to see it go.

So that’s what’s keeping me up late at night along with the documentaries and movies.

What are you watching this summer?

    I have to admit I haven’t been watching much television lately. Project Runway starts this week and I will DEFINITELY be watching that. I’m holding out for fall when everything returns (but I do love Bravo!)

    We don’t have cable so I miss out on some pretty great shows. Not too many great shows on regular television but we’ve found a few. I’m glad the library has so many great movies we can rent! 🙂

  8. Robin (Mom Foodie) says

    These are all shows I have heard so much about. I’ve been watching feeds on Twitter and they are all coming across. There isn’t much watching in this house though. We’ve been so busy.

  11. Ben says

    I’m not big on reality television. Mainly because it’s not real. I really like Falling Skies and Under the Dome.

  16. Kathy says

    My husband and I are watching the second season of Orange is the New Black on Netflix. I love that we don’t have to wait a week for the next episode.

  17. Carly Anderson says

    I’ve been real into Pretty Little Liars and Switched at Birth. I still need to catch up on LAST season of True Blood. We stopped watching it within a couple episodes in, so I know we’ve got lots to catch up in!

  18. Liz Mays says

    I’m a bit of a reality junkie so I’ve been watching The Bachelorette, all the Real Housewives shows and Big Brother. I’m enjoying Big Brother this year more than last!

  21. Chrystal says

    True Blood! Yes! And I love Kim Zolciak. I know she has a lot of haters but I think she’s funny. I follow her on Twitter because I did a lot of news reporting about her for a while. Shes really nice. I stopped watched Big Brother after like the 2nd or 3rd season.

  25. Theresa says

    I am watching True Blood too, but am catching up on it from my OnDemand service. I am on season 4 right now, and am really enjoying it!

  28. Amber says

    You’re watching a lot of the same shows I am. I watch a lot of stuff on Bravo. And Big Brother.

  29. Tami says

    I’m a reality show junkie. I’m loving The Bachelorette right now and can’t wait for Bachelor in Paradise to start in August.

    • Candy says

      I stopped watching the Bachelor a long time ago.. I was watching a preview for Paradise.. could be interesting!

  31. Rosey says

    I’ve heard of True Blood. Everyone laughs at my oldest son (including his new wife) is addicted to it. 🙂

  34. Amanda H. says

    Bravo Housewives are my favorites to watch – any city! DO you have HuluPlus access? I also fell in love with The Only Way is Essex (a British reality show – much more risque than American shows).

  35. savoryexperiments says

    I’m obsessed with Bravo- I watch nearly everything, but never intently- almost always as background noise.

  38. Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest says

    I LOVE Big Brother, this is my first year subscribing to the live feeds and I’m so glad that I didn’t because boy do they edit stuff to twist things. We’re watching True Blood as well, we’re betting Sookie saves Eric and he turns her.
