Do you watch them???

I was watching Revenge for the first season or two - then I just lost track....liked the story line and characters...I LOVE the cast - especially Emily VanDeCamp and Madeline Stowe...they really make the story line...mama bear protecting her family...daughter seeking revenge....

Scandal - LOVE IT!!! The cast is, im my opinion, phenomenall!!! I love the chemistry between Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn.

I think what I love is the "conspiracy theory" stuff...liked the rigged ballot/voting machines...like an "open secret" - I have some guys who do the programming for things like that and said - yeah - it's that easy...

Columbus Short (VERY HANDSOME!!) and Guillermo Diaz - I like too....the red head Abby? URGH!!! She drives me INSANE!!! (go figure!!)

So - do you watch or stopped??? Maybe I should have titled it "what are your favorite shows?"

Thanks!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Chelle - thanks!! Send me a message and we'll get it figured out!!

Gina and Mz Kitty - thanks!!! I figured people would think DRAMA - you know how I love to keep you ladies on your toes! :)

Toni - while I agree there are many things more REAL things to focus on - however - I need to decompress and not stress over the sorry state of our country 24 hours a day. So I watch movies and shows. Sorry that it's not your cup of tea.

Haven't watched Deception. Thought about it. Is it that good?

I need to HULU Mad Men....many friends have recommended it to me!!

My other "GO TO" shows are:
Criminal Minds (I think I've loved Thomas Gibson since Dharma & Greg) and Malcolm Shemar Moore just makes my heart go pitter patter!! :) I miss Mandy Patinkin - but the cast is great!!! Was surprised with the addition of Tripplehorn...to replace Prentiss. I would love to be Gracia...

NCIS is one of our family night shows. LOVE THAT CAST!!!

Castle.
We still watch the re-runs of Monk when they are on too.

Yes, I watch both and have since the beginning. I think both of them are very well done, although Kerry/Olivia talking so fast and Emily's smirks can get on my nerves!

I just started watching Deception on NBC. It seems to be their take on Revenge, or at least that's what the critics have said. I was also watching Last Resort on ABC, but they cancelled it. :( At least they were able to wrap up the storyline!

Come on, I was looking for something juicy.

We don't have cable (it's been a couple years). In fact today, we set up Netflix. Not sure I will even watch tv with Netflix, just not a tv or movie kinda gal.

I love both shows but if I had to choose SCANDAL HANDS DOWN!!! On FB, we have "Scandal Sorors" LOL!!! Every Thursday, we login at 8:45CST. It's called check in time!! And from there, we comment throughout the show. And OMG when Fitz walked into the oval office last week, we went insane!!!! LOL, you should join us!!

On another note, have you tried Deception yet???? It's ok so far, but no comparison to Revenge or Scandal.

I haven't watched either of these. I didn't even have a DVR until about nine months ago. Loved NCIS, Law and Order and Criminal Minds. I'm making up for about ten years of not watching TV and in the last six weeks have watched all of Breaking Bad (love!), Sons of Anarchy and am up to season 5 of 24. It's no wonder I go to the gun range with my 19 year old daughter right??? We haven't talked about guns in a couple of days :)

Some of my favorites are Monk, Psych, Law and Order: SVU, Criminal Minds, In Plain Sight, Dick Van Dike, Gilligan's Island, Roseanne, Three's Company, Full House, The Nanny, and my husband recently got me addicted to The X-Files (If you like the 'conspiracy theory' stuff, you would probably like this show)

As for reality TV shows, I like Big Brother, Solitary, and So You Think You Can Dance

Unfortunately, we only have Netflix so I am unable to watch most of these shows at the moment.

I think I may be in bed by the time these come on - lately I'm early to bed and early to rise - boo! But I've seen the previews for them and they look great!

As for there being more important things to worry about - yes! So I question why people who have an issue with this type of JFF question would even respond...seems like a complete waste of their valualbe time :).

Scandal did look interesting, but i never ended up watching it. i really was turned off by the whole "idea" of Revenge, so i never watched it. then they started running double commercials for it with Once Upon a Time (my FAVORITE!) so i liked it even less :P sorry! lol.

we also love Bones, as far as primetime dramas go :)

I love Revenge. I was also enjoying 666 Park but ABC cancelled it :-((.

I also love Criminal Minds but was sorry to see Prentiss leave. I was also disappointed when they killed off Haley. I loved her character and she kept Hotch balanced.

Yes there are so many other real things in the world to be concerned about - but umm that is why we like to go into the UNREAL world sometimes to get away from all the reali life drama! I love those shows as well asmany more, too many! lol, but hell after all the real stuff I deal with all day I like the escape! I recently got hooked on Nashville, I LOVE it I am actually startng to like country music which is something I would NEVER see happen! :)

I've never watched Revenge, but I love Scandal. I don't, however, really like the affair story line. Wish they would bury that somehow!

I LOVE Scandal also! It definitely keeps me on the edge of my seat every episode, and I think Kerry Washington is not only beautiful, but a great actress.

My other favorite is Downton Abbey on PBS. If you haven't watched it yet, I'd recommend getting it on Netflix and starting at the beginning (they just started Season 3 a few weeks ago on TV).

I live NCIS, Criminal Minds, Psych, and I think my favorite is Castle. I miss all my Sci-Fi shows like Eureka though. I do enjoy Warehouse 13 and some day will watch the first few seasons until the cross over where we met Claudia.

I love watching TV in the evenings when I have time.

well, I will answer you last question...I haven't seen the two you mentioned but I am a recent convert to Mad Men thanks to Netflix. I watch it while on my treadmill every morning at 5 am ;-) The writing and acting is AMAZING, I can see now why it has won so many emmys all these years it's been around!
