Top Ten Tuesday -- Current Fave Movies and TV

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join.  If you can’t come up with ten, don’t worry about it—post as many as you can!

I do love my movies and tv shows, even if I have limited time to actually enjoy them.  Here are my current faves:

  1. Anime series: Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and The Big O -- J got the boys hooked on various anime series.  We are actually on our third series of the summer.  I'm even enjoying myself.  Go figure.
  2. Catch-up show: Game of Thrones -- Ugh!  We are still behind, in the middle of season three in fact.  If I had my way, I would binge watch this in one weekend.  But J usually as objects claiming that the show is just too serious...
  3. Twins' Faves: Top Gear and Mythbusters -- If we are at a loss of what to watch with the twins, either of these two shows works.  Even if we've seen the episode, they have great rewatchability.
  4. Soap Opera Fun: Reign and The 100 -- My current ridiculous soap operas from The CW.  I just can't resist the cheese.  Don't worry, J and the twins do not watch these.  I just last week finished season 1 of both shows.  Can't wait for season 2.
  5. Classic Comedy: Monty Python's Flying Circus -- A fall back twin favorite.  Every once in a while you need a little Python.
  6. Ongoing viewing: Star Trek (TOS; TNG; Voyager; DS9) -- We're still making our way through all the Star Trek series.  I'd say we're about half way done.  We finished TNG a few months back, getting close to finished TOS, almost halfway through the movies, and moving forward in Voyager and DS9.
  7. Documentaries: Tattoo Nation, Somm, Why Ships Sink, Viking Sword -- Every once in a while, I just need to watch a documentary.  The above listed are some of my recent views.
  8. Classics: Star Wars Trilogy -- Seems like we watch trilogy (there are only three movies!) once every few years.  We still need to watch Jedi before the twins leave.
  9. New Favorite: Gravity Falls -- The twins requested we download this show for the summer.  I was skeptical.  I'm not usually a fan of Disney's new cartoons.  But this one is such a treat.  I will totally keep watching after the twins leave.
  10. Zombie fun: The Walking Dead -- Another show that we are completely behind on.  I need to just binge watch this one weekend and be done.  Then I can rewatch!
