Top Ten Fridays: TV Shows Past II

Okay. The second installment. Without furthur ado...

Top Ten TV Shows Past - Part 2: (in no particular order)

10) Golden Girls - I loved this show. I used to watch reruns of it all the time in college. (And reruns of the spinoff, Empty Nest) They were hilarious and had perfect timing. Good show.

9) Night Court - Bull - remember him? That show was so good. I wish they would rerun that!

8) Full House - Who didn't grow up on this in the 90s? DJ and I grew up at the same time. We faced the same things at the same time. I felt like she was a friend.

7) Friends - I have been collecting these. I need 3 more seasons in order to have the complete collection. I also grew up with these and watched every season, except the season where I was on Morning Star. I still love watching the episodes over and over again. My favorite show of all time.

6) Arrested Development - This show wasn't on for very long, but it was hilarious. Very dry. Very funny. Very smart humor. I guess people don't want to think with sitcoms. I loved it. Jonathan has started to collect it. We have 3 seasons. I think we are missing one.

5) Alf - Who knew we would laugh so much with an alien? He was hilarious.

4) Webster - I don't need to say any more about it. It speaks for itself.

3) Kate and Ally - They were really good at making us laugh.

2) Different Strokes - "What you talkin' about, Willis?"

1) Facts of Life - I loved Joe. I wanted to be an individual like her and not let anyone boss me around or tell me what to do. I guess that is where I got some of independence and resolve from.

There are many more that I have thought of: Designing Women, Punky Brewster, Blossom, NYPD Blue, Rags to Riches, Silver Spoons, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Twilight Zone, Different World, Head of the Class, 21 Jump Street, Night Rider, Neon Rider....Okay enough.

Thanks for taking this trip down memory lane with me. Next week we will look at my favorite shows right now. If I missed anymore you can think of, let me know.

Here's a little something to remember this wonderful journey we've made:

Aidan and Emma Update: Help!! I have a Terrible Two!!

It seemed like a dream the past month and a half. Aidan had stopped having quite so many temper tantrums and screaming fits. Emma has always been easy going. I felt a lot happier and way less stressed!! That was until this week.

Emma has decided to enter into the terrible twos early. (She's now 1 1/2.) Girls do mature faster than boys, so I should have been prepared. I have done this before. I should remember, but it is funny what you forget between kids. Now she has started screaming, yelling and crying when she doesn't get her way. Tears roll down her cheeks and she has even hit me a few times. (She had her first time out because of it!!) It is amazing to me that as one begins to calm down, the other one starts up!! What's with that???

Emma now has 2 of her 4 molars. The other two are starting to push through, as well. She had her 18 month shots last Friday, which went alright. She was a little grumpy, but nothing that Advil won't help.

Emma and I have also been attending Gymboree class on Monday mornings while Aidan is at Preschool. It is a lot of fun and Emma tries something new everytime she goes. She even started to sing the songs last time and continue to sing them as we walked to the car. She's so cute!!

Aidan has been in Preschool for 3 weeks and is loving it. He walks into class, puts up his name and then says, "Bye, Mommy. Have fun without me because I am in school now!" He has to be reminded to give me a kiss before I leave. It is amazing what a year will do, I suppose.

He has matured a lot in the last little while, too. Not big things, but the little things. (I.e. not freaking out for 20 minutes; not crying when his milk spills; not complaining about noise so much...) This has been a relief to everyone, I think. He is growing up and I am trying to let him...it is hard for a Mommy, though! And to think this time next year he will have finished his first month of Kindergarten.

Right now we are all watching Sesame Street and the kids are wearing their Halloween costumes. (Aidan is being a dragon and Emma is going to be Tigger - all costumes they have worn before!) At least I get to save some money that way this year. Jonathan and I are trying to save up enough to go to Vegas in the new year.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day. It is a beautiful day here.

Tuesday Tunes 6: Josh Groban goes TV Oldies

Just for fun, in case you missed it!! It must have been fun to do this!!

Weekend in Review: No More Watermelon!

How much watermelon can you have in one weekend? I tried to answer that question at camp. Let me just say that having it 4 times a day is too much.

Camp was interesting...we'll move on.

I watched the Emmy's last night. It was like a trip down memory lane. I had no idea that they were planning that, which made my blog entry on Friday very timely. Thanks to those of you who left me a few others. I will post another list on Friday.

The Emmy's were fine (I try to mute the speeches if possible). Unfortunately, celebrities still think they are politicians and political scientists, trying to give us their view point on who to vote for. Sorry, but unless you have a degree in poli-sci or have experience, I am not going to listen to you. I would rather listen to normal people, who live normal lives.

And what is up with "30 Rock"? I have watched it a couple of times. It is okay. But is it really funnier than "The Office"? I don't think so!!

And then there was "Madmen", which I have never seen. But to beat out "House" or "Dexter"? Crazy.

The "Amazing Race" won for best Reality TV show...again. So, all was not lost. It starts again next Sunday, so I will keep you posted. I love that show, and Jonathan has started to tape all the reruns of it on VHS. (Like father, like son. If he starts numbering them, I'll let you know, Sandra!!)

Last night was the first time that I had heard that William Peterson was leaving CSI, for sure. I have decided that he is allowed to leave if he is going after Sarah Sidle. That is the only way I will be happy. (It is a little bit funny my addiction with some shows...or sad!)

I hope you are all having a fun day. I am tired. Please check out Postsecret if you have not already. There are some really good secrets this week, especially the last one!!

Have a great day!
