For someone who doesn't own a television set, I happen to love watching TV. Not owning a cable box and the whole flat-screen-DVR package isn't an effort to seem "cool" or "detached" but rather, a function of limited space. Plus, I'm afraid that if I had a TV in my room, I'd enjoy it too much and that's all I'd do. Come to think of it, I already shy away from big shenanigans of the mingling and drinking kind, and if I start getting glued to the tube, there goes my (modest) social life.
Anyhow, I do get around watching my favorite shows, thanks to online streaming. ABC has an app on the iPad that lets you see their shows, including sitcoms like Happy Endings (super funny!) and Modern Family (I have yet to get on board).
My three faves at the moment happen to be on USA Network and are as follows (I read somewhere recently that they're still in the middle of having their app approved by Apple):
1) White Collar
2) Burn Notice
3) SUITS(!)
If you haven't seen #3, you have to ASAP! It's about two lawyers: one legit graduate from Harvard, and one who passed the bar without having gone to any law school. It's hilarious and entertaining. Hotshot closer Harvey Specter hires Mike Ross, who wows him at an accidental and well-timed job interview. The former covers up for the latter's lack of a law degree and the rest is bromance history. It's TV candy, alright. Both men are handsome—Specter in a dashing-debonair kind of way, and Ross, in a cute-hipster-who-wears-skinny-ties kind of way (the latter's character lives in Williamsburg and rides a bike to work). I love the New York street and office scenes in the show and get a kick out of recognizing areas where they shot.
Here's the trailer of the show. It's on every Thursday night. Happy viewing!
I love both #1 and #2, but it's the first time I heard of #3! I'll definitely start looking for that series. :) And I think it's time I watched Happy Endings. I have the entire first season, but only watched the first 15 minutes of the pilot episode.
ReplyDeleteHi, KV! How's your 30-day Challenge coming along? Have yet to read your recent posts! I barely made it today. Anyway, yes, Happy Endings is really funny. And, Suits is fun! The first episode may be a bit dragging—but still very entertaining—and it definitely picks up and becomes more exciting.
