My TiVo: Summertime Edition

First of all, a big thank you to Tyler (aka TBA) for being my guest blogger this weekend. If you haven't commented yet on his Sunday Conversation post, what are you waiting for??

We're getting into the summer TV season and I thought I'd share what I'm going to record on my TiVo. A special thanks to this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly - couldn't have done it without you. A slight disclaimer to start, my TV tastes are not the same as yours. Okay? Good. Just keeping us on the same page.

So here is what I'm watching in my loads of spare time this summer or when it's gross and rainy outside. This list is subject to change, naturally and all times are Pacific.

Mondays, 8 PM, ABC: The Bachelorette
I haven't watched this week's episode yet - I fell asleep at 7:00 last night!!

Mondays, 9 PM, TNT: The Closer
This is truly the best cop show on TV. Kyra Sedgwick plays the lead perfectly & the supporting cast is fantastic. I believe it starts up again in July and I cannot wait.

Mondays, 10 PM, MTV: Legally Blonde the Musical – The Search for Elle Woods
If you missed this last night, I’m sure you can catch a replay or find it on MTV's website. I saw “Legally Blonde the Musical” on MTV last fall and still have it saved on my TiVo. The musical is really fun and I thought it would be entertaining watching them try to replace Laura Bell Bundy, who makes a perfect singing version of Elle. Plus it gives Haylie Duff something to do. I really hope it's a good show.

Thursdays, 9 PM, Bravo: Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List
I love Kathy Griffin. She swears way too much though.

Sundays, 10 PM, Lifetime: Army Wives

This is a really entertaining nighttime “soap.” The new season starts this Sunday -- I can’t wait to see who died after last season’s slightly cheesy cliff hanger!

Other shows I will also probably watch at least once are Wipeout (the commercials crack me up) and High School Musical: Get in the Picture. Project Runway returns in July so that will be a must-see for me.

Shows I will not watch: the Denise Richards reality show, Celebrity Circus and Swingtown (I'm not sure what is worse -- the premise or the horrible mustache on Grant Show.)

There you have it -- let me know if you have any summer TV shows you are looking forward to watching.

Haha! I LOVE This post! Of Course! A little piece of me DIES when primetime ends. HOWEVER, you have missed two shows that are CRITICAL to your summer enjoyment, and you can add them to your tivo.. So You Think You Can Dance. It might be a little boring now, but it will WOW you in a few weeks when they start to do coreography. SERIOUSLY. Even my mother in law watches it. AND... Burn Notice. Another YOU SHOULDN'T MISS IT tv show. It is awesome and right now you can watch re-runs from last year. I believe it is on USA. It is funny, smart, spy like, and the lead actor is pretty much some eye candy I think. :)

Wipeout looks so funny! We were watching commercials for it on Sunday when we were watching the Celtics game. WE can't wait down here in Provo!
