My Favorite TV Shows

     Happy Thursday! Today was so long coming back from two snow days! Thankfully, we had a double period for Latin today and my Latin teacher let us go to First Watch for breakfast (yeah, he's pretty chill). It was a nice transition from snow day to school mode. However, once we got back to school and had to actually have class, it wasn't long before I was craving the couch, a bowl of ice cream, and a good TV show. I love television, and there are so many great TV shows that I have to record up to three shows almost every night! Here's my schedule: Sunday is Downton Abbey Day, Monday is for How I Met Your Mother and The Carrie Diaries, Tuesdays are for New Girl and Pretty Little Liars (don't judge me), Wednesday is for The Middle and Modern Family, Thursdays are for The Vampire Diaries (again, no judging), and I use my Friday nights to actually watch all of those shows! As you can see, TV keeps me very busy. :)
     I decided to make a list of all of my favorite shows and why I like them!

1. The Carrie Diaries

This show is new on the CW, and I love it! I seriously can't get enough of it. It's based on the series which serves as a prelude to Sex and the City, featuring the teenage years as Carrie Bradshaw. It's the perfect show for any teenage girl. Anna Sophia Robb is so great as Carrie, and the guys in the show are so hot! Great acting, great storyline, great everything.

2. New Girl

Every Tuesday, I get so excited to watch this show at 8 o'clock on Fox! It's about a girl named Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and her experience as the only girl rooming with three men. And it's hilarious. Jess and her roommates are in their early thirties, and they still don't really have anything figured out with their lives. I can't even describe it, you just have to watch it.

3. How I Met Your Mother

This show makes my Mondays so much better. I'm literally laughing out loud throughout the entire show. Ted Mosby tells his kids in the future the story of how he met their mother, and it's clearly a very long story (so far it's been almost eight seasons and we still don't know who his wife is yet). But it's definitely worth the wait; the writers of this show are comic geniuses.

4. F*R*I*E*N*D*S

I watch this show mostly on the weekends, it seems to always be on! I've fallen in love with this show; I somehow feel like I'm one of the friends in the show! Each character is perfect in his or her own way, and once again, it's hysterical. Each episode is better than the last. My goal is to watch all ten seasons (summer project?)!

5. Downton Abbey

This show. I can't even. It's just. Oh my God. It's my absolute favorite show, and every time I talk about it, it just gives me all these feelings and it makes me want to laugh, and scream, and cry. I love it. It's absolutely the most melodramatic show in existence, but it's not cheesy. It's written perfectly, and (if I'm not mistaken) it was the most-watched show in 2011 and 2013. The third season just ended, and the ending of the last episode was just so sad. The plot twists are incredible, Julian Fellowes (the writer) always keeps his audience on their toes. It's perfect.

Carpe Diem,
Brooke
