During the weird negative wind chill weather we endured in the midwest, there wasn’t much to watch on TV. It seems like the hiatus between the mid-season finale (a totally made up concept) and the start of new shows has grown longer and longer. Why am I waiting until January 14th to watch the next episode of Supernatural? Why am I waiting until February freaking 9th for the next episode of The Walking Dead?

I love HGTV, but there are only so many times I can listen to a twenty-two year old whine about how she has to have stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. No, you don’t need stainless steel, you just need appliances that function and a countertop you can set stuff on, you  %$&^*# overindulged *#$%^.

Now, where was I…oh, that’s right…the absence of things to watch on tv while being trapped inside by ungodly cold temperatures and feet of snow.  And yes, I know that’s a first world problem and I am grateful that I’m blessed with a warm house and sufficient food to ride out the storms, but I reserve the right to rant about what’s on TV because it’s my blog.

Anyway, my father gave me the first season of Breaking Bad, and I’d never watched it because I thought it would be too intense. The good thing about having the show on DVD is I can fast forward through the parts where some guy is beating the crap out of another guy. So, my husband and I watched the first season and discovered it was dark but had a lot of comedic moments. *Spoiler alert* When Jessie put the dead body in the tub and added the acid, I knew the tub would crash through the floor. Seeing it happen through the characters eyes was strangely humorous.

What are you watching while you wait for The Walking Dead? What other shows are you looking forward to?
