The Office: Probably the best television comedy of the DVR era. Underrated: Creed (the character, not the horrible band) and Toby. Remember in Season 1 when Steve Carrell was kind of fat and slicked back his hair and everyone liked the British version better?
30 Rock: This one gets better with age. Despite the aggravating presence of that dude that wears the unfunny trucker hats, this show delivers the goods. Tracy Morgan's absurdist humor never fails to make me laugh out loud, or LOL as the kids say. If it's really funny, I LOLZ!!!!
Lost: Always entertaining, sometimes brilliant. I'm only a few years away from being 'bearded, drunk Jack'.
Rock of Love: A train wreck of sluts, Ed Hardy t-shirts, bandannas and really bad music. What's not to love? Well, by that description, plenty. We really have no defense for watching this.
Celebrity Apprentice: Logic dictates that this show should be horrible, especially given how unwatchable Season One was. But something about the crude mix of Dennis Rodman, Jesse James, Clint Black and Joan and Melissa Rivers makes for fascinating television. Ok, fascinating might not be the right word, but it's...something.
Saturday Night Live: SNL is an easy target to criticize for being irrelevant or past it's prime, but really, it's still good for at least a few solid skits per show. Besides, at our advanced age, we're usually home on Saturday nights, so staying up until midnight now qualifies as being edgy and rebellious.
Top Chef: Reality show drama + pretentious cooking + Padma Lakshmi = Must See TV.
Check Please!: Local Chicago fave where 3 different people try out the other peeps favorite restaurants and then discuss over wine. This is how we find out where to eat. If it's good enough for Mr. President, it's good enough for HHH.
*It should be noted that we don't get the premium movie channels, so we can't throw any HBO shows on there for street cred, although The Sopranos still remains in our Top 5 of All Time. Other than that, Curb Your Enthusiasm is a reliable DVD staple and we've had Mad Men in our Netflix queue for ages, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
Michael Scott: I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day.
