In the past couple of years I have become a big time TV show
addict. One after the other and seasons after seasons, the obsession continues
in the year 2012. When I am hooked to a particular TV show I momentarily switch
off my life and get into the world of characters of the show. They make me laugh;
they make me cry and also at times make me ponder on my own life. Here are some
of the shows in random order.
1. Coupling:
This was the very first TV show where I completed all the seasons.
And this happened so long time ago that I hardly remember anything about the
show but one thing is for sure that I had crazy time watching it! The
genre is adult humor and if you have a hard time understanding the so
called 'double meaning jokes' then you might want to skip this one.
2. Keeping Up With The Kardashians:
I am certainly not ashamed to admit that I am a fan of this show!
This family is pure entertainment. It is a reality show into the life of the
Kardashian sisters. Many find this show lame but they make me laugh all the
time so what the hell. Khloe is my favourite sister among the three. This show
is a perfect example of how stupid some celebs can be!
3. Dexter:
I never believed that one could become so attached to a TV show or
its characters till the time I started with the Dexter series and since then it
has been my favorite show so far. My close friends are probably sick of me by
now coz I am yapping about this show all the time! That is coz it is so fucking
awesome and I wish everyone watched it for the brilliant performance by all the
actors. The show is about a serial killer in lead role who kills serial
killers. Sounds absurd? I thought so too but since I started watching it I have
been hooked on! Also let me warn you that some of the scenes in the show are
not for the faint hearted.
4. Gossip Girl:
This show is like those chick flicks girls love to watch and drool
over. I don't think any guy follows this show coz let me admit it, it's lame!
Yeah right, but we girls will continue to watch it coz we are such suckers for
romance. The show is about the elite class and revolves around their
relationships, parties, fashion and big time drama. I am beginning to lose
interest in this show but I know I will get back to it just to see what Serena
will wear next!
5. Modern Family:
This is the most adorable show you can ever stumble upon. Humour
at its best, fresh characters and good script. Don't think, just go watch it
and you can thank me later. My favourite character is without a doubt Gloria.
6. Two And A Half Men:
When sex and humour is put together this show is what happens. I
do not follow this show religiously but whenever I am bored I tune into to have
a good laugh. Charlie steals the show whereas Alan is a superb actor but I find
his kid a bit annoying. Also I think the show has lost its charm with Charlie
gone now but I do love Ashton Kutcher to death!
7. Entourage:
This show clearly is not an ideal show to watch coz of the foul
language but I love watching it for its characters, they are amazing! WARNING:
The show also has explicit scenes.
8. How I Met Your Mother:
Barney! Barney! Barney! The only reason I am still caught up with
this show is for Barney Stinson! Oh come on let’s admit it aren't we all
already bored with so much suspense as to who the mother is? I really enjoyed
watching the earlier seasons even though many found this show being inspired by
'Friends'.
9. Castle:
Ever since I was in school I wanted to be a detective. Yeah,
really. And something that time made me think that I will be a successful one
too! But clearly that is not happening anymore which brings me to all the
detective TV shows I am obsessed with and among them my favourite will be
Castle. Again a very light-hearted show and I absolutely love the chemistry
between the leads.
10. Bigg Boss:
All throughout this post if you were wondering whether I have any
space for an Indian TV show, oh yes I have a single space reserved especially
for Bigg Boss. If I say I am crazy about this show, it will be an understatement.
This is the only Indian show which entertains me and for which I am eagerly
waiting for every year. Add to these a couple of other shows such as Dance
India Dance etc.; rest of the Indian Television is very mediocre. Roadies is
beginning to become a pain and MTV hasn’t churned out a good show since ages.
P.S: I am going to own the entire DVD set of Dexter once I start
earning money.
P.P.S: 'Friends' wasn't included in the list for obvious reasons.
