Indulge in a TV Treat
I confess, I LOVE TV.
Not mindless channel surfing — that I loathe. No, I love only a select few dramas and comedies. I TIVO those favorites and cherish a few moments of late night escape or light laughs.
Yes, as a ridiculously busy work-at-home mom, I do NOT really have time to watch TV… and over the summer, my TV hasn’t played anything but Super Why, Little Einsteins and the like. But wow, I have missed it! And I am so happy the new season is here so that I can indulge in some weekly treats dished up just for Mommy.
Janice usually hooks me up with the names of the best shows to schedule on my TIVO. Somehow, she always seems to know what to watch… which makes me suspicious… how much time is she spending watching TV when I’m busy working… hmmmm… But, I digress…
This year, I will be watching four shows: The Office, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters and Samantha Who.
The first two I have been watching since their first seasons, but to the latter two, I’m a latecomer.
Two years ago, during the first season of Brothers & Sisters, Janice got hooked. But I refused to watch. I was trying to break my TV addiction and I could not afford a new show.
I kept to my two favorites (The Office and Desperate Housewives) and some Grey’s Anatomy. But in the summer before the second season started, I saw a Brothers & Sisters Season 1 rerun. It only took one episode.
I called Janice. “Why did you let me miss this show?” I shrieked.
“I told you.” She said.
“You didn’t tell me it was THAT good!!!” I replied.
So that summer, I caught up on old episodes and entered the 2nd season as a full addict. And now Season 3 is here and it’s ranked at priority 3 on my TIVO.
Here’s a taste of Brothers & Sisters:
And my fourth and final indulgence this year will be Samantha Who. Again, Janice has influenced me here. Janice insists Samantha Who is her favorite comedy and that Christina Applegate deserves to be scheduled into my TIVO. So Samantha Who will be officially taking up my fourth and final spot in my roster of must-see TV.
Here’s a shot of Samantha Who:

Unfortunately the TV is the centerpiece of the house. TIVO is an evil invention. We feel that there is nothing on TV unless we are recording 2 shows an hour from 7pm-9pm. Our guilty pleasure are the reality shows from VH1
I watch a few shows that I just cant miss, and one of them is Ghost Hunters shown on the Sci Fi channel, I also love CSI, and of course watch alot of the History channel and Bio and Discovery channels, but I havent watched either of these yet have heard about Samantha Who and since I love Christina Applegate in other tv shows I will watch this one, and would love to win this, Thanks for the great giveaway
I love samantha who? Christana Applegate is a real sweetheart.
I watch Brothers and Sisters but I would like to win Samantha Who so I could watch that. It looks like a cute show.
I watch very little TV. Brothers & Sisters is the only fictional show I watch. Would like to win the set since I have missed some episodes.
I watch TV while working on the computer or doing crafts. I would love to win “Samantha Who?” because the show sounds funny and I have not seen it.
I watch too much TV! I have seen most of the Brothers and Sisters episodes, so I would like to win the Samantha Who since I haven’t seen it!
Brothers and Sisters all the way. I am also addicted to Survivor.
I would love to win Samantha who? My TV viewing is lacking this year because of work and school. I would love to catch up on this show, after hearing Christina Applegate story, I think she is great. Also love Brothers and Sisters as well. Thanks!
We got dvr about a year and a half ago and I now watch way too many shows. I would have to say I prefer to win Brothers and Sisters since I have seen Season 1 already. Thanks!
I love Brothers & Sisters
I watch toooooo much TV but I would love to win Sam Who
I am in love with my TIVO, I really didn’t think I watched as much TV as I did after I realized how many shows I was saving.
I love re-runs of shows, I never got into Friends until it was in re-run, same with Will & Grace, Reba, Still Standing and so on. 1/2 hour comedies is my favorite.
I would love to win Samantha Who?
Thank you for the chance and good luck everyone!!
I’m addicted to porn but I would like to win the Samantha Who DVD
Brothers and Sisters- my mom got me hooked, and Burn Notice which we have watched from the beginning are the two MUST WATCH around here.
It is great bonding time with the girls. 
i usually don’t watch the drama shows, i watch the animated shows on FOX! and the sitcoms on CBS, like Old Christine.
I love samantha who? She is so funny.
“Brothers and Sisters” became one of my favorite shows last season, but I’ve been so busy that the last few episodes of season 2 and all of the newest episodes are still on my DVR. Winning this DVD set would be a great thing — thanks!
I have only two TV obsessions. Grey’s and Private Practice. I occasionally watch Ghost Hunters or The First 48 but when the first two are on everyone knows to stay away from me and my TV LOL.
I want to watch Brothers and Sisters because I have seen the previews but I am the type that I have to watch from the beginning and I have been thinking about renting the previous seasons and catching up. It looks like a great show.
thanks for another great contest.
I really only watch tv on Thursdays, Survivor and then The Office. I wouldn’t mind seeing if Samantha Who is good.
I have always enjoyed watching tv and will not feel guilty for it. I would love to win Brothers & Sisters–one of my favorite shows.
Brothers and Sisters
I’d choose Brothers & Sisters.
I don’t sit and watch much TV. We do like CSI and the 70′s show though. LOL
I enjoy both shows here so either would be a treat.
I am addicted to Dexter on showtime!
I work at home too, and never can find the time to keep up with my favorites. So, I too, TiVo, then watch 3 or 4 shows when I can sit down and watch them all. I have wahted to see Samanth Who for a long time.
My favs: Burn Notice, Saving Grave and The Tudors.
id love brothers and sisters..we watch a variety of shows and we love scary movies
I would love to win Samantha Who?!! I have quite a few shows that I’m addicted to that I watch. I hate my Thursday night schedule because I now have 6 on one night that I have to flip between to watch! Thanks for the contest!
I haven’t really watched either of these shows, but would love to!
i hate it, but i do love to watch tv and feel guilty when i watch too much. I fell in love with Samantha who? from the begining. I am also a fan of Lost but didnt start that until last season when my husband and I watched all the seasons at once and then waited for the regular season to start to continue with the rest of the world.
I really like both shows. Samantha Who is good for a laugh and Brothers and Sisters reminds me of some members of my own family!
I’ve never watched either so I would like to win either one. Please enter me
My husband says I have a PHD in TV but really I have learned a lot watching TV and I think everyone can relate to Brothers and Sisters. And I have always been a fan of Christina Applegate she is a great actress. If I win this I will be in TV Heaven.
I have not watched Brothers & Sisters or Samantha Who? However, I heard really good things about Samantha Who?
I would like to win either or both DVDs. However, if I have to pick one, it would be the Samantha Who? – The Complete First Season.
My TV viewing habit is that I have at least one television on at all times. I use it for the noise. I also watch TV when I can’t sleep.
I don’t watch TV too much, but I do watch the Law and Order series. My TV habit is a bad one; I love to sit and eat while I watch TV before bed.
Samantha Who please.. this is a great show, and I hope they keep it on.
I’m a TV addict. I watch the daytime reality shows movies at night. I would like to win Samantha Who?.
I love both series but would want to win Samantha Who? The Complete First Season.
I watch a clot of crime shows: Law & Orders, C.S.I.’s, etc..
I have never seen either one, so I would like either one.
I haven’t seen this show, yet, but I love Sally Field, so I’m sure I would enjoy watching it. I always watch Survivor and The Amazing Race, those are my 2 favorite TV shows. Thanks for having the contest!
Please enter me!
I love Brothers & Sisters!
i’d love Samantha Who. I really love America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway!
Samantha Who….I don’t have cable, so it’s just the regular shows on regular rabbit ears.
I love both of these shows. I set my DVR to record both and then watch them after I put the kids to bed, so I don’t miss anything.
I’d love to win Brothers & Sisters!
PLEASE COUNT ME IN ON THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY
I usually DVR all my shoes and watch them at 2 in the morning. Sad. I’d love the Samantha Who set. Thanks!
I’d love to win either one.
I love those real crime shows on TruTV and IDiscovery. Thanks for the giveaway. I would choose Samantha Who if I were a winner.
