Favorite TV Shows

So many, so little time! Since I apparently enjoy watching people make idiots of themselves, I enjoy "Reality" T.V.: The Bachelor/Bachelorette (WHY do people go on those shows??); American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Ghost Hunters. Grey's Anatomy, Castle ... and how could I forget? Almost anything on HGTV!

Almost anything - chick flicks, of course, but action adventure, and drama as well, oh, yeah, and my latest favorite: Burn After Reading! Loved Fargo, too.
