Fall season Tv!

Directv cancelled...billing dispute in process..grrrr....

However, I still love to relax with my cup of tea in the morning and soak in some mind numbing tv.
So I've become a huge fan of www.hulu.com, its basically got everything I need to watch, for free, and I can save the $70 I was paying Directv.

But this post is about some new shows that have instantly become my favorites. I think I must be in need of some comedy in my life, because these two make me laugh so hard I almost cry.

First "Mike and Molly" on cbs is too funny! Its about these two people, Mike who is a police officer, and Molly whose a school teacher, who meet at overeaters anonymous. The first 3 episodes have followed them through a couple dates. Its too funny. I was hoping it'd be good and not negative to overweight people, you know all the horrible jokes that aren't really funny when your fat. Even though there are a some in there, they are tastefully done and reflected by the characters. At one point in the pilot, Molly is working out on the elliptical and her mom says "Honey your just big boned" and she replies with "Mom bones don't jiggle!" Cracked me up!! You seriously have to check it out.

Next is Raising Hope on fox. I put this on my queue and held off on watching because I wasn't sure if it would be one of those crappy shoes fox likes to push. But it was truly hilarious from the first scene. Its about a guy, who must be like 20, lives with his parents at his grandma's house, life isn't going anywhere, working for his dad's landscaping business, hates it, so then one night a girl jumps in his van while fleeing some guy chasing after her, he spends the night with her and ends up getting her pregnant, she goes to jail because she's a serial killer (guy chasing her was trying to catch her after she tried to kill him), and she has the baby and then gets the electric chair, so this guy, Jimmy, is now responsible for the baby, and he knows NOTHING, I mean nothing! Its seriously funny to watch him try and figure everything out with this cast of white trash, no help family.

So those are what are keeping my busy between mopping the floors and endless loads of laundry. But now that I'm caught up I've been reading constantly. I've read over 10 books in the past month and a half. I've found some really good ones, but that's a post for later. Now I'm off to finish Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich.
