First of all, I don't watch that much TV.

I like saying that. It makes me sound so.....so busy. But, it's not entirely true. Not anymore.

These are my favorite TV shows, in no particular order. Well actually, if you look closely enough they are in a particular order. (See notation next to MONK below.) And no judging me.

American Idol. I watch this every week. I'm just not sure it's cool to admit it.

Burn Notice. Does no one in Miami notice that there is stuff blowing up around this guy every week?

Cold Case. I love the idea that justice can be found, even years after the fact. And I love Lilly's name. And her hair.

CSI:NY. I just started watching the reruns of this show on Spike and love, love, love it. It has totally bumped Law and Order off the radar. Sorry, Lenny.

Home Design Shows in general. Ahhh, HGTV. It takes up most of my morning. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Monk. What can I say? I'm OCD, but at least I can find the humor in it.

Psych. This is outrageously good TV, folks!

Survivor. I've watched every single episode. And because I have long-term memory issues, I can't remember who has won any of them. Except for Richard Hatch. Who can forget an overweight, obnoxious gay man on a desert island? That's what I would like to know.

The Closer. I love me a good Southern accent.

The Mentalist. Patrick Jane. Oh my. If I wasn't already married and he wasn't a fictional TV character.....

Without a Trace. "Gone missing." Two words that trouble me greatly. And who knew there were so many people sleeping with their coworkers?

That's it. Just a little peek into what entertains me. Explains a lot, doesn't it?
