Tuesday Topics: 8 TV Shows!

Found an awesome link-up to fill my Tuesdays over at Tiffany's blog, The Austin Family Diary! They're already on week 3 (which is where I'm starting)! And, I know it's technically Wednesday already, but I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it's still Tuesday for me! :)

 

With my husband's 12 hour shifts and the fact that we rarely ever get 'date nights' or nights/days/anytime away from our crazies, we make it a point to still spend quality time together. Every single night, after dinner, baths, story time, and bed time for the kids, we have Momma & Daddy time. ;) (not to be confused with our 'sexy time', which has no specific time slot - we want it, we do it!)

We lay on opposite sides of the couch, intertwine our legs, and relax together while watching whatever show of ours comes on that day of the week! 

Here are 8 of our favorites!:

1.) Law & Order: SVU : Absolutely, hands down, NO competition, FAVORITE SHOW EVER. I was pissed when Christopher Meloni got the ax and almost swore off the show completely, but Mariska Hargitay kept us loyal. I proudly and confidently recite the introduction to the show, including the imitation of the gavel at the end. Because I'm cool.

 

2.) American Horror Story: Asylum : I've never watched a more twisted, confusing, effed up show in my life. And I LOVE it. One hundred and ten percent addicted to this crazy world that AHS has created. It scares the hell out of me, makes me cringe, and I just can't get enough. Our Wednesday nights have never been freakier.

 

3.) Duck Dynasty: Who can resist such an awesome bunch of redneck millionaires?! Seeing how humble and down to Earth Miss Kay & Phil Robertson are, still living in their beloved double wide, despite being multi-millionaires, is just plain fantastic. The Robertson boys still respect their Momma and grown or not, what Miss Kay says goes and I just love it. Uncle Si is the epitome of a redneck genius - is there anything he CAN'T do?! I'm impatiently waiting for the Robertson Clan to fill our Wednesday nights again.

 

4.) Dance Moms: Yes, even my husband loves this show! We started watching out of interest in the girls dancing (we want to get Gracie in dance) and we stayed for the drama. And, oh boy, does this show produce some drama. Everyone loves to hate Abby Lee; the Moms claim to be a 'family', yet totally trash one another repeatedly, and the fights that ensue thanks to Abby's no-bullshit attitude and fondness of pissing the Moms off, are anything but boring! Not to mention, the girls really are AMAZING dancers!

 

5.) Swamp People : Alligators and crazy Cajuns, what more could you want in a show? Watching these hunters live off the swamp and wrangle an 800 pound alligator as a day job is nothing short of entertaining. Troy is our favorite Cajun! (And, our hearts broke and we sent sweet, Southern prayers to the Guist family when the Swamper of swampers, Mitchell Guist, passed away doing what he loved, in May of last year.)

6.) River Monsters : If you're already afraid of the water, do not ever watch this show. EVER. Ever. Holy jeebus, this show planted a fear in me that has me afraid of any body of water bigger than my bathtub. Even though much of the show is seen  through my fingers (that are attempting to protect my eyes) and narrated by my, 'OMG, OMG, OMG, THAT'S IN A LAKE?!!' every few minutes, we still come back for more. It's the show I hate to love.

7.) Long Island Medium : Theresa Caputo was blessed with a beautiful gift. I go through a half a box of Kleenex every time I watch this show. How wonderful is it to not only hope and pray that your loved ones are at peace and watching over you, but to hear it - in their words, after they've already passed? Just typing this I feel tears brewing. I know the heartache of losing someone far before their time that you love and hold dear. And, if I ever have the chance to be even remotely close to the same area as this woman, I fully intend on stalking her and hoping for a message from the other side. 

 8.) Dual Survival : Two men with extensive backgrounds that allow them to possess exquisite survival skills, purposely putting themselves in life-threatening situations and teaching you how to survive in some of the world's most dangerous environments? Yeah, it makes for some great TV. I've learned SO much from watching this show; although, if I were ever in a situation where I actually needed the skills that they've taught, I'm positive I'd forget everything and be freaking screwed.
