Mindless Drivel?

Mindless drivel?...Yet so entertaining!! During the school year I don't have much time to watch TV. I usually try to squeeze in my usual favorites The Middle, Modern Family, and Downton Abbey and that's about it. This summer and with it's easy free-stylin' no schedules aire has allowed me to expand my television horizons beyond So You Think You Can Dance. I share with you my current obsessions.

#1 Duck Dynasty



For months I saw this odd bunch quoted on Facebook/Pinterest etc. but never has any show had less of an appeal to me. A bunch of redneck, camo wearing, hunters? I think not. But over our family reunion at the lake and MUCH forceful persuasion by my brother Kirk (who shares my sense of humor) he assured me that I would love this show. He forced me to watch clips of it at 1am around the bonfire. He quoted it incessantly. I promised him that I would watch it and watch I did. I LOVED IT!! Who knew I had it in me? This is how far the sickness has progressed. When I watched the season premiere last week where Phil and Miss Kay renewed their vows. I CRIED... I CRIED!! Heaven help me but I love this band of oddballs and the message they put out there. My favorite person...hands down...is Phil. #2 Jase. Love them!! Jump on the Duck Dynasty Bandwagon Jack and that is from a true blue Yuppie Girl!!


#2 The Mindy Project



I watched this whole season in a two day stretch and laughed my guts out!! (The episode where her boyfriend accidentally put her jeans on had me on the floor in full on asthma attack hysteria.) I love this show and can't wait for season 2.

#3 Monarch of the Glen



I love this series so much that I give you two pictures. This was a little gem I found on Netflix. This is exactly my kind of TV show...BBC production and all...set in Scotland (watch it for the scenery alone.) It is funny and romantic and all kinds of good. Unfortunately it is also all over so I am trying to delay gratification by holding off watching the final season for a couple of weeks.

My favorite character on the show (besides Archie and Lexie...obviously) is Kilwillie played by none other than Julian Fellows the creator and writer of Downton Abbey. He is an absolute scream!! Anytime he comes on screen he steals the show. Who knew?

There you go... Do with it what you will. ;)
