A little late to the party...

I know I'm very late on this one...three seasons late...but I'm loving True Blood. I downloaded the first season for our trip to CA and was obsessed. I watched every episode and I'm sooo hooked. I'm waiting for Hubby to get caught up so we can start season 2.

I'm soo bummed...

...that Favorite Thing #81 - Lipstick Jungle has been canceled. I loved that show.

Guest Favorite Thing - TV Show Dexter

This is actually a favorite thing of mine as well but I thought I would let my hubby do a guest post.

If anyone asks me about MY favorite things, more often than not it will relate to television. Just recently, Christina and I took the advice of several friends and family members and FINALLY gave the show Dexter a shot. Let me tell you something: this is one of the most addictive shows I've ever watched. Here's the skinny: Dexter Morgan is a blood splatter expert for the Miami Metro Police Department. So, alot of the story lines revolve around murder scenes. But wait: this ain't no CSI or Law and Order. The twist with this show is why it's so good. Dexter is a serial killer. Yup. He chops 'em up into little pieces and feeds 'em to the fish. Wait, wait, wait. Let me explain. He is actually a guy that you find yourself rooting for. That's right, you will quickly support his actions because he only kills the bad guys. Now, I don't want to give too much away, but throughout each episode the storyline reveals more and more about Dexter's childhood and the moments that made him who he is. Another highlight of the show is the cast of characters that, in their own right, can carry intersting plots. From the foul-mouth sister to the sex-crazed asian forensic scientist this show keeps you wanting more. My wife and I just finished Season Two. A feat that we accomplished just as fast as NetFlix would send us the DVD's. Season Three just finished airing on Showtime, so we are currently awaiting its release on DVD. This is definitely one of MY favorite things. So go out, get the first two seasons and enjoy!!! Oh, and let it be known that I do NOT condone serial murders.......unless they deserved it.......like most Ravens fans. I kid......I kid.

Favorite Thing #81 - Lipstick Jungle

I started watching this favorite thing one lazy Saturday last year when I was sick on the couch and there happen to be a marathon. Well I immediately got hooked on Lipstick Jungle and highly recommend it. I love this show because it follows a similar premise to Sex and the City but with a different twist. The show is based on the best-selling book (which I need to still read) by Candace Bushnell (same person behind Sex and the City). It follows "three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game." There is the Wendy the movie executive (played by Brooke Shields) who tries to balance family and career, Nico (played by Kim Raver) is editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine, and free-spirited fashion designer Victory (plated by Lindsey Price) who wants to find Mr. Right.

I definitely recommend catching up on old episodes and NBC.com and then set your DVR for Wednesday nights at 10pm.

Favorite Thing #74 - Gossip Girl

My husband and I are obsessed with this show (sorry hunnie the secret's out). Gossip Girl is a guilty pleasure that I got hooked on last year thanks to my good friend Lisa. The premise of this series is about the lives of "Manhattan's Elite" - prep school teens on Manhattan's Upper East Side. There is lots of sex, drugs, drinking, drama - everything you need for a TV dram. The show is completely unrealistic but will have you addicted after the first few minutes. The show airs on Monday nights @ 8pm on the CW. For those of you that missed season one catch up on iTunes. For you existing fans - xoxo Gossip Girl!! :)

Favorite Thing #69 - TV Show: Jon and Kate Plus 8

My husband and I are addicted to this favorite thing - the TV show Jon and Kate Plus 8! The show follows the daily lives of Jon and Kate Gosselin, an average American couple living in Pennsylvania raising a set of twins and a set of sextuplets for a grand total of EIGHT CHILDREN!!! We started just watching the show if it happened to be on when we were watching TV but now we are full on ADDICTED!! We DVR every episode - I think at any given time we have at least 5 episodes for us to watch. New episodes air every Monday night on TLC, and repeats air throughout the week at all different times. We love watching what goes on in this family - they are very real and the kids are ridiculously adorable.

Jon and Kate have a book coming out in November titled Multiple Blessings. It's available for pre-order on Amazon.com for $13.59. I've pre-ordered a copy already so stay tuned for a book review. The first two seasons of Jon and Kate Plus 8 are available on DVD for pre-order on Amazon.com for $14.99.
