get-your-hands-up

So, I don’t know what made me look into it, but the other day I was scrolling through my DVR (as I’ve said many times before–I *heart* my DVR so this may come as no surprise) and lo and behold, most of my (not the family, just mine) series recorded regularly shows are cop/spy shows. As a matter of fact, if you discount the reality type shows (SYTYCD, GH and it’s spin offs, etc) all—being at least 12—but two are cop/spy shows.

I really don’t know what that says about me *gulp*. :shock:

It was really brought home when the 8-yo walks in and says, “You watching another cop show?” And yes I was. I usually get up two hours before the kids in the morning so I have breakfast and coffee and watch the DVR until one of them comes in to use the XBox 360 (then I don’t get that TV again til the next morning).

As a teen my FAVORITE move was Die Hard. I love movies that go BOOM!

Some I think is because I am always taking mental notes for books (lately—can’t say what my excuse was at age seventeen). And most of those shows are like a puzzles–and I love puzzles. You have to figure out the whos, whats and whys before they are revealed in the dump at the end.

I did have a deep desire to be a police officer when I was a kid—I wanted to work in forensics WAY back before it was trendy and every third show on TV. And I could still do it–I still have that desire, so maybe that’s what my watching selection reveals about me.

I heard someone once call it a guilty pleasure. I don’t know that I would call it a guilty pleasure. I surely don’t feel guilty watching them, but they are a total pleasure to me. What does your viewing habits say about you? (Granted, I realize the McD-household does have an unusally active viewing routine–most could not compete with us!) Are they guilty pleasures, or regular old pleasures? And do you have a variety of shows or one main focal point? Tell me, I might find a new show to watch… (Hey, I picked up Haven—which is a cop show—from Tanya mentioning it a while back)
