Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday is here again and it's time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Fiction With a Purpose.






Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)
2. Look at the week's prompt
3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.
4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.
5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.
6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt is: Is there a TV Show you just can't live without?

In answer to this week's prompt - I have to say no. Now I do watch TV and go to sleep with the timer turned on every night - it's usually on the Food Network or HGTV. I like Bones, some of the Law and Orders, NCIS, and House but can I live without them - definitely. Most often the thing is turned on just for the "noise factor" and I am doing something else - crocheting, reading or going about the normal household tasks. At times I'll walk through the living room and pause for a few minutes in front of the TV but it doesn't hold my interest for very long. I can't remember the last show I watched where I was glued to the set.  Even the shows I do enjoy - like the Celebrity Cookoff that just finished was something that I'd catch a few minutes of while doing other things.

  1. Thanks for pondering...and I have to say that I was the same way... before! and now I find that sitting down and really watching a show relaxes me and is a great way to end the day.... But I would not be able to do this with my trusty DVR!

  2. I watch TV (mostly movies, baseball, hockey and a little HGTV), but I can't say that there are any shows that I can't live without. The TV is mostly for background noise ... and company when I'm sewing. ;-)

  3. love House! so sad it's ending this year. And I definitely love the PVR (what we call it in Canada) - that way I can skip the commercials, not necessarily because I don't like all them - but it takes less time to watch the show. more time for blogging :)

  4. Sounds about the same for me. I really haven't sat down and watched anything since ER ended. Now that show I watched religiously every Thursday night at 10 pm.

  5. I go to sleep with the timer on my TV, helps drown out the noise in the barrio. I turn the volume down so I can't really hear it so I won't get interested. I also like Bones. Have a good day.

  6. Hi There, I'm a TV nutcase... I love TV --and hubby and I watch alot of shows (mostly dramas) each week... When we are gone, we DVR them...

    Some of these shows, I can live without --but I do have some fav's (Bones being one of them)... I used to like House --but not so much this year. One of my favorite shows is Blue Bloods... Excellent show!!!!
