How do we have Friday night fun?  Usually we spend it here at home with our family.  Sometimes we have friends over atleast one night on the weekends.  Mostly though, we relax and watch a bit of television.  Since we don’t pay for any special channels, we usually end up watching movies on DVD, but recently we have been watching a lot of the cable television shows that are out on DVD.

bigloveI’m looking into actually purchasing a few of these for us to keep. I’ve grown quite fond of a few of the shows.  I actually found an HBO store coupon that I could use to save a bit of money.  I started out not being such a huge fan of True Blood, but I continued watching and I have to admit…it grew on me.  I just have to keep the books out of my head while watching or it starts bugging me.  So I am looking forward to the next season coming out on DVD.

What I am really looking into buying for me is Big Love.  I am so infatuated with the life of this dysfunctional Mormon family.  I have a weird obsession with them.   It’s like a train wreck.  At first I was like…oh those poor women married to the same man.  After a few episodes that quickly changed to…oh that poor man married to all of those crazy women! I love Big Love.

I have tons of stuff that I should be doing, but I am bored.  I start to do something and eh…I’ll just finish that later.  It’s one of those lazy days.  I would love to just chill in front of the TV, but there is nothing on.  Well, Curious George is on PBS.  The other stations are all lame and mostly Spanish Soap Operas.

We decided to only go with just basic channels to avoid some cost.  It’s really alright because we don’t watch a lot of TV.  There are just some days…like today, that I wish I had something like Direct TV.  I would love to catch up on some episodes of Big Love!  I became quickly addicted to that show last year!

What is your favorite show to watch? Do you watch it when it airs or do you watch it on demand at your convenience?  Do you have DirectTV?  If not, what service do you use?  If you have Direct T V, does the service charge extra for DVR?

DVR is the only way that I can watch TV.  If I truly want to watch a show I need to do it after the kids are in bed.  I loved being able to watch things when I wanted to watch them, oh and the pause button!  How awesome is the technology we have these days????
