The L Word

Ok, it is official I am INSANE. For me, Trash TV hasn't been the same since they took my FAVORITE show ever off...SEX and THE CITY. I LOVED that series (I have the entire Collection).....I would laugh so hard I would have a snitch in my side. Sometimes my Friends & I would have "watching" parties where we watch, gab, eat & comment on any sexy men in the episode and share personal stories. GOOD TIMES. Anyway, I was thinking last night I keep scanning through the rolling guide on Direct TV & I keep seeing.."The L Word".....in fact I think it is in Season 3 0r 4 and I have never seen an episode. So, I said let me check out the next episode....I thought Hey, Maybe I will learn a little something about the "L" Word (Love) that I can use. Needless to say, I was surprised fairly quickly because hey...The "L" word is for Lesbian and it focuses on the dynamics of what looks like a close knit group of ladies & their lives. (Straight, Gay, whatever). Hey & Love is in there too. Anyway, I called a friend & she said, "HELLO, Candi..Where have you been? The L Word has been out.!" Although she doesn't watch it....as if watching two Women in Love will "Rub -Off" on her (Don't get me started on this one!) she said it has been on Cable for years. ANYWAY, I told her it has some SATC like qualities....close friends, fast lifestyles, etc. I admit I don't know ALOT of what is happening with the characters yet but I am going to get all caught -up through Nextflix. I sure am happy to have a new Trash TV Series...yahoo! I already have few favorite Characters that made me laugh & laugh.
Usually, in my life I am a Nancy Grace, Local News, CNN, Discovery Channel, Face the Nation, History Channel, National Geographic Station kind of Gal......I do like to have a few Guilty TV treasures...just for fun....I refer to these programs as Trash TV. Needless to say they aren't trash......hehehe.

P.S. Anyone out there Fellow Sex and The City lovers? How about The L Word?
In the Past at a Party I was voted by a group of 15 friends to be a Mixture between Miranda and Charlotte. I voted myself as Miranda who secretly wishes she could be Samantha!

Oh, well.....just having a little fun with this post.

OMGoodness, I LOOOOVE Sex and the City! It's my favorite show in the whole world. On Saturdays and Sundays I sit around and watch all the old episodes. I laugh so hard and forget MY world :) No matter how many times I've seen a certain episode I still love it, I will laugh as if it was the first time! Thank GOD another addict:)

I'm a basic cable person myself, and only because the landlord provides it (I haven't payed for cable in my entire life)! That said, I love watching the sydicated SATC shows, even though they've been cut for t.v. A half hour of sugar in an otherwise mostly healthy diet... okay, I also love Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert.

I discovered the L-W at my parents a couple Christmases ago. And because they had "on demand" cable, caught up on my first season right then and there (well... after the folks went to bed). Got to admit that it seemed a bit more like soft porn than a drama. And still I was hooked. The characters! I've rented all the episodes since then as soon as they come out. I also like watching the "Special Features" to find out more about the show's creators, actors and fans.

I love the L word even though I think that it is a little "out there"

Chelle, sweet...no paying for cable = NO cable bill. Nice stuff. Myself, I shell out the funds since FOREVER becuase I am Hooked on news programs & documentary...now that I think about it...no wonder I am still single! Geesh! Hey, I just re-read your last comment..THANKS for the e-mail addy..I will be e-mailing Lady!
Vanessa...it is on Showtime...give it a spin. It isn't SATC but it is fun that is for sure.
**Cheryl* I sooo agree, I mean how many folks REALLY have some of that stuff happen to them, I would bet very few.

I love SATC! I miss it. I think I'm a combination of all 4 women at least on some levels. I own the collection also but still watch reruns a lot.
