Wednesday has come around again, so it's time for this week's weekly blogging challenge. We are talking about favorite TV shows. For this one, I am going to need to look into my past. I don't watch any current shows.
Little House on the Prairie topping my list should shock no one. We only had one TV in our home growing up, and this show was on from 8 - 9 pm on Wednesdays (originally) and then Mondays. My father must have liked it, too, because he never willingly gave up the television set once he arrived home for the night. Good thing they moved to Mondays, because my father watched Charlie's Angels, which eventually ended up on 8 pm on Wednesdays.
LHOP helped me endure parts of my childhood. I wanted a father like Charles and a mother like Caroline, and I hoped for all issues to be wrapped up easily and quickly. Real life never worked out that way, but I could pretend. I had a huge crush on Dean Butler, who arrived in season 6, as Almanzo Wilder. He was not, however, my first TV crush.
That honor belonged to Randolph Mantooth, who played John Gage on Emergency. This show was a spin-off of Adam-12, which I also enjoyed. Can't really say why I loved Emergency as much as I did, but it had a lot of humor and drama.
Though I don't consider myself a huge paranormal fan, I really loved
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off
Angel. The earlier and later seasons of Buffy were better than Seasons 4 and 5 when she was dating Riley. I always wished
Angel had a longer run.
I found Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman in syndication and instantly loved it. I like strong female leads, and Joe Lando sure was easy on the eyes. This is another series that I would have loved to see have a longer run, even if it was just one more season before the final movies.
From the moment Downton Abbey arrived on PBS, I was hooked. As you can tell, I enjoy historical drama. The on-again, off-again romance between Lady Mary and Matthew Crawley was great. I wish Dan Stevens had stayed with the show, but I also feel like Lady Mary's character grew in a different direction as a result of Matthew's death. I'm eagerly anticipating the final movie.
That's my list. Do we share any of the same shows? Are there some of my list that you didn't enjoy? I look forward to visiting your blogs.

Downtown Abbey and Little house on the Prairie are ones that I haven't watched in a while I need to go check them out and get a lot of good tv shows on your list
I really enjoyed Little House on the Prairie growing up. Also, despite my love of vampires, I've never watched Buffy or Angel.
Here is my post.
I hated Riley. Angel was great too. It would have been good to have seen Angel go at least one more year.
I really loved both of them. Interesting that Netflix will be giving us a new LHOP. Thanks for visiting, Jen.
That's so funny, Aymee. I don't care for vampires and watched those shows. You do, and you didn't. LOL! Thanks for stopping by.
Wasn't he so annoying, George? Then there was that odd episode with them in bed all the time. Weird. Thanks for visiting.
