What do they do for company and background noise when they're alone? What do they do when they have insomnia and just want to learn about Jack Lalane's Power Juicer at 3am in the morning??? <br><br>Anyhoo, YES! I am SOOO excited about the fall lineup. Vampire Diaries is number one in my book. OMG! I can't get enough of it. Though I haven't watched last night's episode, so thanks for not posting any spoilers. <br><br>Returning shows I'm excited about? Brothers & Sisters, Glee, The Office, 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, New Adventures of Old Christine, Modern Family, Cupcake Wars...I'm sure I'm missing something, but those are the first to come to mind.<br><br>I'm also very excited for the new shows Raising Hope and Running Wilde. But I just looked at ABC's new show lineup and I fear I'm going to need a second DVR because they all look amazing!<br><br>EXCELLENT topic :)AvonLadyJerricahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14611705826419158520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785254196690450747.post-19134359827749984822010-09-24T09:31:18.467-04:002010-09-24T09:31:18.467-04:00I watch Vampire Diaries as well, and caught the ne...I watch Vampire Diaries as well, and caught the new one. But, what do you think about the possible addition of warewolves ;). I love Glee, one of my favorites. I watched the Defenders last night and I think I will give it another shot. Hmmm, otherwise, for me it is the new reality shows such as Top Chef: Just Desserts.

How are we supposed to talk about Vampire Diaries if you haven't watched it yet???<br><br>I can SO see you being a Gleek. That doesn't surprise me in the least. ;) But the new shows you listed didn't get the best reviews so far - let me know if the tv reveiewers are wrong. <br><br>OH - and I totally agree about background music, the most distracting thing in the world to me. I think it messes with the area of my mind that writes. <br><br>Amy ~ How could you even ask what I, of all people, think about the edition of werewolves? I have three books (soon to be four) on the shelves with wolfish heroes. I LOVE the idea of wolves on Vampire Diaries.

I've also never been a fan of vampires until now. I recently rented the first season of Vampire Diaries, and I'm madly in love with Damon. I'm caught up on this season and I can't wait for more. (Uncle Mason is adorable! Love those curls and blue eyes!)<br><br>I also rented Glee and love that show too. I haven't watched this season yet, but I'll get caught up.<br><br>As far as old favorites go, Dexter premiers this Sunday and I can't wait. Every year I think, "Oh, it can't possibly be any better than last season" but I've always been wrong. There was a shocking ending to last season, so I'm anxious to see what they're going to do with it now.Samantha Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16043060709341696044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785254196690450747.post-84168982427303845752010-09-24T10:37:12.852-04:002010-09-24T10:37:12.852-04:00I have to say I love my NCIS and NCIS:LA.

(I know I'm not the only one who adores Damon.)<br>I never got in to Dexter for some reason, but I have friends who are obsessed with the show. <br><br>Beth ~ I don't know why I never got into the crime/cop shows... maybe it's my aversion to authority figures. ;) And of the cable shows you mentioned, I've only heard of Burn Notice. <br><br>A couple weeks ago, I was at a neighborhood pool and ended up talking to a couple who said they were addicted to BBC's Being Human (vamp/were/ghost series.) I set my DVR to catch it, because you can never have too many vamp/were shows out there (especially when they have those lovely English accents) - and I caught the very end of the season. It looks good, pretty gritty though. So I'll have to see if I can find the season somewhere else.Lydia Darehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10178136567476666348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785254196690450747.post-10236479260050421502010-09-24T11:12:59.960-04:002010-09-24T11:12:59.960-04:00I probably should add that this blog was written b...I probably should add that this blog was written by and comments made by the Jodie 1/2 of Lydia Dare.

With three boys (two of them teenagers), they overtake the TV. Not to mention we're an entire family of gamers. So instead of watching TV we're all playing Halo 3 or the new Counter Strike. And then of course all my kids friends have to come over because omg my kids have a mom who plays games and kicks their a-err butts and they always swear "Next time I'll get you my pretty!" LOL. It's so much fun but yeah the TV for its intended purpose does not get used much if at all. My two-year-old however has a TV set just to Nick Jr. Blue's Clue's is my background noise everyday lol. <br><br>I may have to check out this Vampire Diaries just to see what all the buzz is about but if and when I get any free time from being a mom, you can beat your pretty butt I'm blowing stuff up LOL! There just nothing quite like granading my husband. It's so much to hear him say "I can't believe you just killed me!" *insert evil laugh here* "That's for not taking out garbage tonight dude!"<br><br>Okay, so I promise to watch at least one episode.

He said something about his friend knows how to talk to girls and then said, "You can't talk to them about video games all the time. They don't like that." So, I said, "Unless they are into video games too." You should have seen the smile on his face.

We had all scrounged up pennies out of the car to get this game LOL. <br><br>And Samatha, there are a few but sadly still not enough. It's still a very male dominated area. I still get flack from guys in this game especially the older ones. "Girls don't play games and if they do they're not good." It's sad really how some of them feel so threatened. <br><br>I did meet another fellow gamer girl not long ago and she was fourteen. My second oldest son was ecstatic and talked about her for days. But we haven't seen her online in quite some time. We need more gamer girls! But little by little we're trickling in. Tell your son to give it a year or so and we'll see more soon.
