MDIA 384: Assignment #1


Assignment #1
(1) Shows I have been watching lately, since school got out, are How I Met Your Mother, Pan Am, Revenge, Modern Family, and New Girl.
(2)  Peripheral Shows that I watch are Dancing with the Stars and The Middle because of my mother. I also watch CBS Sunday Morning because of my Father (If I wake up in time for it). I occasionally watch Breaking Bad because it is my boyfriend's favorite show.
(3) Some Guilty No-Gos of mine are American Horror Story, The League, and The Walking Dead. My sister continually tells me to watch The League but I just can't get into it. And American Horror and The Walking Dead are just too gruesome for me. 
(4) My Guilty Pleasures are all of the Real Housewives Series on Bravo (Except Miami and Atlanta- no offense to the South- they just don't have any characters I can root for), The Kardashians, and Glee. I know people hate the Kardashians for being famous for nothing but I watch it anyways. And Glee has arguably been off base this season in terms of storyline but I just watch for the musical numbers.
(5) My All-Time Favorites are How I Met Your Mother, The West Wing, 30 Rock, and Modern Family. When I was younger I wanted to work in politics just because of the West Wing. I still like to the believe the West Wing of the White House is exactly like Aaron Sorkin's television version of the West Wing, with lots of witty banter. 
(6) In terms of Shows I Used to Like there is Weeds, Friends, Will and Grace, Boston Public, Law and Order: SVU, and The Bachelor. I am not proud of the Bachelor but I liked it a long time ago in the first seasons, not the 12th or whatever they are on. I loved the first 3 seasons of Weeds before it got crazy and completely off topic of the premise of the show. 
(7) Shows I Resisted But Now I'm a Fan of are Community, and Friday Night Lights. I finally gave Friday Night Lights a shot and then became hooked right when the show was wrapping up. Texas Forever.
(8) I Would Rather Eat Charcoal Than Watch Wipe Out, pretty much anything on MTV or Comedy Central (Jersey Shore and My Super Sweet 16) and Roseanne. I just don't understand Wipe Out at all. Physical Humor just isn't my thing. I don't really enjoy vulgar language so MTV and Comedy Central don't fit my taste either. And Roseanne, well I don't think I need to explain that one. 
(9) Shows I Put On in the Background are Big Rich Texas and anything on the Food Network.
