These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

6. Name a show you like that no one else enjoys: Snapped on Oxygen (the more lurid, the better)
7. Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song: Growing Pains ("Show me that smile again/don't waste another minute on your crying/we're nowhere near the end/the best is ready to begin …") Sing it with me! What do you mean, you don't know it?
8. Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch: Mad Men

I was totally a Twin Peaks junkies---cherry pie and some good cup of Joe for me too!
ReplyDeleteFantastic answers--I so agree re: Alec Baldwin. I keep meaning to watch Mad Men, but it never happens. I might just need to try harder! Happy Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteBeing a former DJ, I love American Idol. It is the only reality show that I have ever watched. My 84 year old aunt is hooked. Every year we now talk weekly during the season...
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! Oh this is a fun meme to see everyone's answers.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about Alec Baldwin. Who knew he would do so well?
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching Gray's when Addison left. Boo!
ReplyDeleteMoonlighting was perfect for The Man and I to watch. He could drool over Maddie and I could drool over David. And it was funny too!
I forgot about Alec Baldwin. Who knew he could do comedy?
No more Grey's for me too. What the heck happened to that show.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you on Patricia Heaton! Blah...
