TV Show Lists

Hello & welcome to Rush Delivery!  I will be using this blog for Advanced Media Criticism with Dr. Jenny Nelson (or just Dr. J if you're hip to it) at Ohio University, spring semester.  For our 1st assignment we've been told to assemble some lists of tv shows we've been watching/forced to watch/recently started watching amongst other things, so here goes!

Current Shows:

• Shameless
• House of Lies
• Flight of the Conchords
• World's Worst Tenants
• Workaholics
• The Walking Dead (it's not currently on but it will be back soon)

For the most part I watch these shows via downloading them then playing the files through my Smart TV/Xbox 360 or just by watching them as they premiere on tv (mainly the shows that are not on premium cable channels).

Peripheral Shows:

• This Old House
• Anything on HGTV really because of the parents
• There's not too many in this category as all my siblings are gone & so is there influence & my parents usually clonk out pretty early so I'm left to watch as I please.  As for my roomates we tend to always watch the same shows together.

Guilty Refusals:

• 30 Rock
• The Big Bang Theory
• Community
• Parks & Recreation
• Family Guy (I watched the older seasons but feel like the more recent ones aren't up to snuff)
• The Simpsons (same deal as Family Guy)

Guilty Pleasures:

• Not sure how guilty of a pleasure it is but I absolutely love PBS, so pretty much anything in their primetime line-up. Some examples would be:
• History Detectives
• Independant Lens
• Globetrekker
• Anything backed by Ken Burns
• Masterpiece Classic, Contemporary, or Mystery, they're all fantastic.
• Antiques Roadshow

All-Time Favorites:

• Breaking Bad
• HomeLand
• Weeds
• It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia
• Tosh.O
• Friends
• Home Improvement
• The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
• Doug
• Recess
• Cowboy Bebop

Shows I used to Like, But Not So Much Anymore:

• Family Guy & the Simspons as I said earlier.
• Pawn Stars
• Storage Wars

I Would Rather Eat Coal than Watch These Shows:

• Anything produced or distributed by MTV in the last 5 years or so. They're so god aweful I don't see how people can stand them haha.
• Judge Judy or any similar court-room daytime show.
• News of any sort.
• Modern cartoons geared towards kids, they just don't make them like they used to I guess.

Shows that are so strange you can't help but find them hilarious (also shows your mother would find incredibly offensive):

• Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
• Check it Out! with Dr. Steve Brule
• Metalocalypse
• Squidbillies
• Ren & Stimpy
• Any of the Aqua Teen Hunger series

That about sums up my lists, hope it was enjoyable/informative!!
