Man, I Need to Quit TV...

Since about 2 weeks ago I got hooked on watching 4 hours of Criminal Minds and/or Without a Trace on ION for 4 hours every night.  I don't like Without a Trace that much but I LOVE Criminal Minds.  But I need to quit!  I should have been doing many other things, like updating Kyleigh's story or doing laundry or doing dishes, you name it.  But Criminal Minds is so addictive.  It also scares the crap of me sometimes. Like the episodes tonight. It makes me a little scared to go to the bathroom. 

All right. I'd better go to bed.

Haha, I love both those shows.I've seen almost every episode! For this reason I love my DVR.

We love Criminal Minds. Walker suggested Without a trace tonight. I'd never seen it before. We're watching it now. It's pretty interesting.

I don't like Without A Trace as much because of the Jack character. He's so messed up (having affair and all that). Just not a character I'd like to see portraited as a hero (messed-up hero).

Because it was my first time watching, I paid more attention to the story than to the characters. I prefer documentaries over drama, so I don't think it's a show I'll really get into. With Vrimibal Mibds, and CSI, I've got enough drama to watch.
Selene N. Oct 13, 2010, 8:22pm UTC
Agreed. The stories were pretty good.

We almost never miss Criminal Minds. Up here we get it on A&E and they will show between 2 and 4 in a row. A couple of weekends ago they ran a marathon of 12 back to back episodes on a Saturday.

my daughter and I love Criminal Minds

Somethings are meant to keep you occupied (as in goto the bathroom...) - thanks for sharing :-))

Been there, done that. I cut my cable and just watch on Hulu and buy DVDs.
Selene N. Oct 12, 2010, 9:55pm UTC
I don't have cable either...but they are over broadcast.
*~*Meg*~* D. Oct 12, 2010, 9:56am UTC
ha....love marathons!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 12, 2010, 1:56pm UTC
Well, soon you'll see reruns and turn it off.....LOL. I turn on Ion at night, since that is one of the few channels we actually get (no cable). I love Criminal Minds.
Selene N. Oct 12, 2010, 9:55pm UTC
But that's the thing... I have already watched some of the episodes before (and they are all re-runs anyway) but I still can't help watching them! I need to buy them on DVDs I think. Such a good show.
Selene N. Oct 12, 2010, 9:55pm UTC
I don't have cable either. So I love ION.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 12, 2010, 10:24pm UTC
Oh, I know what you mean. NCIS is that way for me too. I just love the show.
Selene N. Oct 13, 2010, 8:24pm UTC
I love NCIS too. These 2 shows are kinda similar in a way - you've got a "wild techie" member on the team. That's part of why I like them too.
Rebecca D. Oct 12, 2010, 4:20pm UTC
I've never seen it.
Selene N. Oct 12, 2010, 9:55pm UTC
Man you gotta try it!!
J C. Oct 12, 2010, 4:41pm UTC
LOL

It's ok to take a break once in a while. You deserve it!
Risa G. Oct 21, 2010, 9:54pm UTC
I don't like shows like that but I understand being obsessed with certain shows. I am addicted to The Whole Truth, Hells Kitchen, Chuck and The Middle and have to watch them each week. I look forward to every episode
David K. Oct 23, 2010, 8:04am UTC
Never seen it. Or even heard of it. Gave up TV. Always something else to keep me busy.
