A Housewife’s Guide to: Good TV Shows

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife June 20, 2012February 11, 2021
June 20, 2012February 11, 2021

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’!

My Favourites

Offspring

Greys Anatomy

Revenge

Private Practice

True Blood

Vampire Diaries

Dexter

Big Bang Theory

Sons of Anarchy

Once upon a time

Desperate Housewives

Gilmore Girls

Gossip Girl

Game of Thrones

Popular Reader Favourites

Modern Family

Criminal Minds

Touch

Pretty Little Liars

The Mentalist

Unforgettable

Bones

Parenthood

Breaking Bad

New Girl

Downton Abbey

Hart of Dixie

The Almighty Johnsons

Californication

Brothers and Sisters

Sex & the City

Homeland

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

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 🙂

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 😉

Katrina June 21, 2012 - 7:25 PM

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 🙂

Reply
Katrina June 22, 2012 - 8:12 AM

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

Reply
Amy June 22, 2012 - 7:33 AM

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. 

Reply
Katrina June 24, 2012 - 12:55 PM

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! 

Reply
Katrina June 27, 2012 - 2:10 AM

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

Kristie June 28, 2012 - 1:42 AM

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!!

Reply
Rachel June 29, 2012 - 12:35 PM

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.

This is true! We got a dog a week ago, and every morning the first thing I do after getting up is take the dog for a walk or run (depending on how much time I have). Then I come home, take a shower, get dressed, and start my day. Its only been a week, and I’m astonished at how much more energy I have when I start my day this way.

I thought about introducing my review of the Miele I thought about introducing my review of the Miele Triflex HXI Pro with a vacuum joke… but then realised they always suck (sorry, I couldn’t help myself – lol!)
 
In all honesty though, I have a lot of boxes I like ticked when picking the perfect vacuum cleaner. Visit the link in my bio to see if Miele’s first handstick vacuum managed to tick all these boxes for me!

My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching Firefly Lane. Then running kids around. 

I’m putting a candle on to sit for a moment. Then it involves more mums taxi. I’ll cherish these moments though cause they will stop soon enough. Then what am I going to do when I’m not running kids around? Ooh the thought 🤪
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
