I am currently in the middle of a TV show DVD marathon/obsession! Periodically I find a new show that I love and then rent all the DVD's of past seasons to catch up. When this happens, it is like waking up on Christmas morning with tons and tons of presents to open. The DVDs hold so many episodes just waiting to be clicked on and enjoyed with no commercial interruptions. Thank you Santa!!!!
The only draw back is the dreaded ending...when the last DVD shows up from Blockbuster Online my heart weeps because the bounty has run out. This is particularly sad if the series has already ended. The most famous example of this is my beloved Gilmore Girls. My roommates and I became obsessed with watching Gilmore Girls reruns on the family channel a couple of years ago. Every day at 6:00 I would sit down with my 2 Otis Spunkmeyer chocolate chip cookies and delve into the world of Stars Hollow. I enjoyed coffee and chili cheese fries at Luke's, I attended friday night dinners at Emily and Richard's, and I even participated in the town meetings at Miss Pattie's dance studio. I laughed at Sookie's kitchen mishaps, grew irritable with Taylor's obsession with town laws, and of course listened to hours of girl talk with Rory and Laurelei. As the seasons wound down, I started to feel a strange sense of anxiety. Soon I would be cut off from my dear friends and their idyllic little town! The thought was too much to bare... When I finally did watch the last episode it was so sad. Lets just say it involved a lot of tears and consoling from Adam. I cannot tell a lie, it was traumatic...
So my new obsession show is Bones on Fox. I L-O-V-E it! It has inspired me to a) quit my job and go back to school to become a forensic anthropologist b) become a genius and c) wear cute necklaces. It is hilarious and it totally kicks CSI's trash (p.s. is anyone else totally irritated by that red head guy on CSI Miami? He is so over the top with his tough guy sunglasses). Anyway I highly recommend it to all!
On a totally unrelated topic, I am so sick of living in an apartment! Right now the baby upstairs is crying (probably because her parents are stomping around in moon boots making a giant racket) and the girl next door is yacking it up with one of her girlfriends at about 60 miles per hour. In addition tomorrow morning at 6 am on the dot, the neighbor who parks outside our bedroom window will start his car to go to work. This would be no problem however he has a loose fan belt and it squeals like wild banshee giving me a heart attack every morning. Oooo I hate that rabbit!

This was a very nicely written post. A+.
I'll have to check out BONEs as I love CSI. Oh, type Horatio and sunglasses or CSI: Miami and sunglasses in youtube and you can watch some super funny montages of Horatio putting on his sunglasses with his killer lines. SO FUNNY!
We wake up to the garbage man on M, W and F mornings. And our neighbors monster truck (not really, but my kids think so) starting up at about 6. Ugggg.
I believe I shed a tear reading your post. I too miss the year that we were able to visit Stars Hollow at 6pm on weekdays. Oh, how I loved being able to anticipate the next episode and watch it every day!! I was always so sad on the weekends when I had to wail till Monday to watch our little Rory grow up. the daily Gilmore Girls. I need a new show...
I hope I don't ever have to live in an apartment again. I know that it'll happen, but I don't like to think about that. Loved the post! :)
Ooh, I love renting TV shows! Right now we're watching Pushing Daisies. I just caught up with House, and when I was stuck with nothing to do in Mississippi, I watched the entire series of Alias. It makes a lot more sense if you watch it all at once, with no breaks between seasons! I've always loved Gilmore girls, too, by the way. Tim can't stand how fast they talk, but I find it endearing. It reminds me of old roommates and masterclass.
Okay, I finally found your blog. Adam told me about it a while ago and mentioned how awesome it was, but WOW what a writer! I loved the Gilmore Girls too, Matt knew to leave me alone when it came on. I loved how witty they were, I will never be that quick. I hope Adam is having fun hunting, and hope they are successful!
I loved this post!!! All I know is that I still cry when I think about saying farwell to the Gilmore Girls. As you already know, I also cried my eyes out during the final episode. Tell the lady upstairs that moon boots are so not in this season.
