Who needs sleep anyway?

Okay you guys, I know I just posted about the television shows we watch, but holy smokes did we just discover something that has totally captivated us. 

Have any of you watched The Killing on AMC??  If you haven't, you should.  Like, right now.  Seriously.  I'll wait.  Actually, wait for me, I'll watch it with you.  All over again.  It's that good.  

If the show were a venn diagram it would fall at the intersection of The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo and Twin Peaks.  It has all the creepiness of Dragon Tattoo with the story line of Twin Peaks and the mystery of both.  

We were on vacation over the weekend and decided to check out the pilot episode on Netflix.  It had looked interesting to me for a while but I just never gave it priority.  Since the pilot episode we seriously cannot stop watching.  It has literally consumed our conversation with each other, with friends, and our time.  Basically if Peyton is asleep we are watching this show.  I know. It's a problem.  Luckily for us the show is only in it's third season (which hasn't started yet) so it won't be too long before we are totally caught up and will have the normal TV schedule to curb our addiction.  Until then, though, if we don't call or hang out with anyone, please don't take it personally.  We have about 11 hours left before we are caught up and, at the rate we have been watching, we should be done in about 2 days.  Just pray that the withdrawals aren't too bad and we can recover quickly.

TV Will Rot Your Brain!!!

Between work, workouts, kids, and a full three months this year of being sick, Geeg and I don't get to spend too much time together except for between 8'ish and 10'ish each night about 2 - 3 times during the week.  So we usually pile on the sofa, ice our respective injuries, and catch up on a few of our favorite TV shows.  

There are a few that we just let pile up on the DVR until we don't really have much to watch and then catch up all at once, like The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and New Girl.  But there are a few more that we just can't wait for and will watch just as soon as we can.  The Following, Psych, Parenthood, Suits, Cougar Town (trust me, guys, its a stupid name, but its a funny show), and Criminal Minds never last on our DVR for very long. 

We absolutely love watching TV together.  We watch together, discuss characters, and talk about what we think is going to happen during and after the show. Depending on the show, we will talk about it throughout the week, analyze situations and try to get a peek into the heads of the characters and sometimes even the writes of the show to see if we can figure out where things are going to go.  

For me it's less about watching the show and more about the time that I get to spend with my wife while watching and discussing things with her throughout the week.  It's exciting to see how her mind works when going through a story.  To watch her completely intrigued as she watches The Following, to watch her laugh at silly stupid jokes on Psych, to watch her cry at the tear-jerking moments on Parenthood, or get so creeped out by Criminal Minds that we have to watch Cougar Town to get her mind off how many psycho's there are in the world.  Believe it or not I find her reactions, thoughts, and analysis of these shows endearing.  It is totally fun to engage with her in this way.  

We love to engage with others about our show too! Feel free to talk to us about our shows.  Come over and watch them with us sometime!  We'll crack open a bottle of wine or pour some scotch and make a night of it.
