it’s been a long time since i blogged about my first true love – tv.  it’s true – long before there was ABN and EBN there was tv and the tube and i have been through a hell of a lot together.  we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve stared endlessly into each other’s eyes – it’s by far the longest relationship that i’ve had.  always enduring and sticking with me through all of life’s ups and downs.

you can go ahead and judge me but i let EBN watch tv.  we don’t sit with the tv on all day long (anymore) but in the morning i have the TODAY SHOW on in the background.  if EBN is having a bit of meltdown – the flashing lights of THE JERSEY SHORE are a sure fire way to calm her down, and while breastfeeding, GENERAL HOSPITAL provides mindless banter that we are looking for.

with OPRAH coming to an end, i realize that my dvr is going to have quite a bit more room.  EBN loves her OPRAH – i’m not sure if it’s OPRAH’s sing songy voice or a young appreciation for ethnic diversity but really, the kid can’t get enough.  we’re preparing for next week but looking back at OPRAH’s style through the years.  seriously.

also, are you watching THE VOICE?  i really don’t have room in my weekly line up for more tv (although maybe with OPRAH leaving it balances out?!?) but i couldn’t pass this one up (it was originally the chairs on a spring-load that captured my attention).  i’m in love.  there has not been an episode yet that i haven’t bawled through (it’s like my new EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER) and is just me or is this batch UBER talented?  i already have my favorites – no i don’t know their names.  but so far – i’m TEAM ADAM.

one more tv tidbit – as i mentioned before – we are a TODAY SHOW family.  i’ve been a faithful viewer since 7th grade when my mom and i would watch on our tiny kitchen tv as i ate my cereal and waited for my carpool to pick me up.  but now that ANN CURRY is taking over, i might need to find a different morning “news” program.  i just can’t stand her.  i’ll miss MATT and AL (did anyone else catch him as a WIGGLE this morning?) but i’m just not sure if i can deal with ANN at such an early hour.  i don’t handle major change well…what’s a girl to do?
