for the love of television

am I the only one just now catching up on my tv shows? my dvr is working overtime. I know, I know, to most of you who like to watch tv, this will be old news but I'm having so much fun and loving so many things on tv these days.

so many shows, so little time. the writer's strike allowed some catch up time but also introduced new shows, hence more catch up. good tv is one of my favorite things.

my latest television crushes:

david annable: justin walker on brothers and sisters
(seriously, this man gets me all hot and bothered.)

robert buckley: kirby atwood on lipstick jungle
(okay, okay, this show maybe isn't so good but this guy and his storyline is super hot. I can't help myself but like it...and him!)

matthew settle: rufus on gossip girl
(I have a crush on the dad...hmmm. is this a sign I'm getting older?)

peter krause: nick george on dirty sexy money
(why am I just discovering him now? he is simply fantastic.)

zachary levi: chuck bartowski on chuck
(I'm always rooting for the tall, dark and handsome underdog.)

lee pace: ned on pushing daisies
(he's just plain adorable. plus his girlfriend on the show is beautiful too and wears the most spectacular vintage (looking) clothing. plus kristin chenoweth is on the show, I love her.)

james mcavoy: tom lefroy in becoming jane
(my one movie actor shout out. just saw this movie and loved it. between this movie and atonement, I'm in movie crush love. but I'd prefer if he keep his shirt ON. the fight scene in becoming jane is not my favorite part. he's kind of scrawny for my liking and I can pretend when he has clothes on.)

I'm a sucker for a tragic love story. these shows, these characters, and these actors all fit the bill. thank you comcast cable. thank you dvr inventor. thank you nbc, cbs, and abc. bless you.

now, spill it. tell me some of your television crushes...shows, men, whatever. am I alone in my obsession?

Pathetic! And I'm not talking about your post - it was wonderful. I'm talking about my television life. I sadly have no idea who ANY of those men are - which is treally TRAGIC as they are all very nice to look at.

Your post inspires me to put my own TIVO to use and record some shows!

I didn't know very many either - I can barely keep up with the shows I'm watching now, let alone add any others.

I love Dr. Gregory House. He's mean and addicted to Vicodin, but I don't care.

Peter Krause! Rent all the seasons of Six Feet Under - you'll love him in that. Also, can't think of his name, but the guy in Dexter - he's in SFU too.

Guy from Dexter...LOVE him, even though he's a serial killer.

Geez, I should be worried about the kind of men I'm attracted to.

hai: that is kind of tragic but my obsession with tv right now is pretty of pathetic. you don't want to become me. :-)

dishes: I love house too! I watch when I can but haven't gotten into my dvr schedule yet. and peter krause and six feet under...I keep hearing about this. I MUST get up to speed! you might want to investigate your attraction to scary men but I wouldn't worry too much. that's what tv crushes are for!
