Photo A Day - TV

One of the things I love about Photo A Challenges is that you are encouraged to interpret the theme in your own way. Today's theme, TV, is an interesting one. I don't actually watch a lot of TV. In fact, early last year Scott and I made the decision to once again forgo cable in order to save a bit of money each month. We've been Netflix customers since 2005 and really prefer watching televisions shows that way - no commercials! For Christmas each year we invest in a season or two of a favorite show. I've slowly been building up a good variety of kid shows that I grew up with. So when we feel like watching TV we throw in a DVD and watch an old favorite.

It's hard to see but snuggled in together are sci-fi shows like Stargate and Heroes as well as things like House and the complete Monty Python and a few Twilight Zone episodes. I have diverse tastes.

Some of the kids shows include Smurfs, Animaniacs, The Muppet Show and my personal favorite Thundarr the Barbarian.

    1. Anie - Thanks so much for the visit and the follow. I tried to comment on your blog, but I can't! Yikes! The bottom part of the captcha screen is cut off and I couldn't fill it out.

      So...Here's what I was going to say on your breakfast post:

      Ah hate waking up in pain! About every year or so I twist or bend funny and my back decided to take a vacation in the most painful was possible!

      What exactly is milk tea?

  2. I notice you have Battlestar Galactica on your shelf. What an awesome show.

    1. Yup. In fact looking at them now, I think most of the shows I own have a decidedly sci-fi nature.

  3. I don't watch tv really at all. Even before my time was completely engulfed by work, I just find other things to do besides tv. If I do watch a program, it is often a show from 'back in the day' on TV Land. ha ha

    1. Cyra caught a couple of episodes of I Dream of Jeannie on TV Land when she was visiting my mom a while back and totally fell in love with it. There are some major keepers from back in the day, for sure!

  5. I am with you. I've become a person who takes in TV in binges (watch out for the purges). Hold on, is that MacGuyver on VHS?!? I may judge you for that (this from the idiot who watches Quantum Leap on reel-to-reel).

    1. VHS?!?! Are you loco? Those are DVD seasons 1-4. Granted they're my sister's collection that Cyra wanted to watch. I need to get Quantum Leap! So love it!

  6. Awesome titles on those shelves - Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Doctor Who - and I have many of them myself.

    1. I only go for the best, of course. It's probably because I'm high maintenance. At least that's what Scott tells me.

  7. We do a lot of Netflix and can watch it on our big screen through Wii. We live in awesome times!
