A Housewife’s Guide to: Good TV Shows

Category: A Housewife's Guide To

Prior to starting my blog my ‘me time’ was scrapbooking, lately I haven’t had much time to dabble amongst my crafts, instead after the kids go to bed I’ve been relaxing on the couch watching some good TV.  I like to hire a series on DVD or record a few weeks worth and watch a few episodes at once, I find I get caught up and gives me a good reason to tune out to everything happening around me and have some quality me time.  I put a shoutout on facebook a few weeks ago asking readers what their favourite shows are.  So combining my favourite shows and those of readers I have put together ‘A Housewife’s Guide to Good TV’!

      Yes, Offspring is my number 1 show. Looking forward to tonight’s episode.

  • K Turner

    Love Offspring too, so addictive, my other faves are Once Upon a Time, Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey even a bit of Spartacus and even though I know it’s a bit tacky love Merlin lol :)

  • Lynley King

    Am soo excited to see a New Zealand show on the list :-) Love Almighty Johnson’s, just the right mix of drama and humour!!

    I love Dexter.. I hated HB watching it for the first two seasons and then somehow I found myself watching one and really enjoying it.. its my dirty little indulgence ;)

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      Ooh Dexter is a favourite of ours, can’t wait for the next season to start.

    I just finished watching New Girl then – lordy it makes me laugh. I’ll also give a vote to new kid Tricky Business :)

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      I have heard good review on New Girl, would love to find some time to watch it.

  • Amy

    The new show on Channel Nine on Monday night Tricky Business is really good too.

    Don’t think I can add anything to this impressive list… love Downton Abbey. 

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      It seems really popular, might have to watch it soon!

    I absolutely loved Brothers and Sisters. The series ended with one episode’s notice and I was devastated! 

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      I was too, I watched it from the beginning and thought Nora was just so lovely.

  • Kristie

    Offspring is my fave at the moment as well as Greys and Revenge but havent had time to watch any…… might need to invest in a TiVo!!

  • Rachel

    Revenge, Criminal Minds, NCIS,  and Castle, are at the top of my rotation list… I just keep doing marathon after marathon… also partial to Lie to Me, Bones, The Mentalist (the early stuff), Greys Anatomy and The Good Wife.
    I have to admit that I don’t watch anything live on TV, I wait till the DVDs are released and then watch the whole tv series from season 1 through to the current season. Between times it’s finished TV shows like Lie to Me and Brothers & Sisters

    Downton Abbey, Offspring are my absolute favourites and will make the time for those. My husband loves to scout for new series that are showing overseas so if you love Gilmore Girls, look out for “Bunheads” – it is done by the same director as Gilmore Girls and does feel a bit too much like Gilmore Girls but still enjoyable. It has the mother from GG as a starring role and she is very much the same but more loveable. The other one we are starting to get into is “Perception” which stars Eric McCormack who was Will in “Will and Grace”. He plays a professor of neuroscience who is very eccentric like Greg House (“House”) but extremely intelligent and assists in cases with the police as a sideline. Speaking of sidelines, I love Castle too; perfect to watch and  have some down time on a Sunday evening. I am looking forward to Channel 9′s new show “House Husbands” as it has Julia Morris in it.
