I like those shows too, mama! Also all the Law & Orders and Bones. Also The Sopranos WAS a great show. Didn't think I would like it- but I was addicted after the first episode! I've never seen "Dexter" which a couple of my friends like. It's about a forensic investigator who is actually a serial killer!

I just can't get into TV that much. I believe Many shows on TV are rubbish, especially sit-coms! For some reason I have never been a big fan of them!

On the other hand I love to read!

RE: "rubbish"

I agree wholeheartedly, Cathy!

When working in kitchens I NEVER had the time for TV. If I wasn't working an 80 hour week at one job- I had TWO jobs to make ends meet. Didn't have the luxury of free time, ever.

In Alaska, not only did I rarely have free time, but many times I worked in locations so remote that there was not TV or Internet access- and telephone was available only by super-expensive sattellite phone.

When I left kitchens and returned home and started working just a 40 hour week, AND when I took this relaxed 3rd shift position where we monitor security systems using 4 computer screens, only then did watching TV shows or movies become part of my life. Now, during slow weekends, we're allowed to use a spilt screen on one of our monitors to watch DVD's. In the last 3 years I've watched the movies and tv shows that I missed out on over the last two decades! For instance, I just this year finally watched all 7 seasons of "Golden Girls", several seasons of "The Sopranos" and much of "Mad About You", "Seinfeld" and "Northern Exposure". In know- I know- 20 years late for some of them- but I always was a late-bloomer! Ha!

I dn't like sitcoms and soaps - TV is usually on for company - I'm always doing something while it is on. I to missed many years of TV because of my schedule - now it's my noise in the background.
