TV show Nonsense

You know TV shows?
I wont wait for your response I will just assume you do know of them.
Well I am not your typical TV viewer. I am quirky in the ways I do thing.
For example do you remember friends? )Everyone seems to) –Get this I have never watched one single episode.
Wait there’s more… Reality shows? Don’t watch them, I have seen a few episodes of “so you think you can dance” but not on TV more like seeing a few routines off of you tube.
Don’t even ask about those hospital shows. Not interested.
I do have a few shows that I do watch though…. But not in a “normal way”
I hope you all recall (and surly you do)  “the office” yes that show was big when I was in high school and mostly college (people would have “the office parties” –I went to BYUI (an LDS university)-they have nice clean party’s at those places) the “peer pressure” to watch the office was great. However the excitement everyone else had for the show did not encourage my participation, it might have even fueled my –I am so not going to watch that show-attitude.
But life is a funny thing. I was so cocky about my lack of TV show watching –ness.
The office ran from 2005-2013 (I had to google that because I honestly didn’t know)
I didn’t watch any of it until every single season became available on netflicks- and then for a reason I have quite forgotten- I watched them all. (over a good few month period) mostly while I folded laundry during naptime.
Yup. After everyone else was done and moved on I finally decided I liked the show and watched the whole thing.
So a few years ago I heard about a British show-a period drama called (you guessed it) Downton Abbey.
Sounded like my type of show I am after all a lover of classic British literature and period shows in general.
But I did not watch the show-or feel intense interest in it-after all-it was a TV show, and a drama at that.
My sweet husband has suggested several times that I try watching it-its on amazon prime- so last night I did.
That was a dumb idea, 3 hours later I realize its eleven thirty and I didn’t even fold my laundry while I watched. I was hooked and wanting to watch another episode right then.  
You are guessing where this is headed right?
Nope you’re wrong.
Sorry (I could not resist) See the problem was that I sat up and felt annoyed- I don’t  want to feel like I have to watch to find out such and such because all of the plots and sub plots are ridiculous. So I got up this morning and wasted my time reading spoilers finding out what happens in the next seasons (up to season 5 which I can only presume is going on now) and its all out of my system. To tell you the truth I am quite relived it seems like an incredibly annoying show to be really into-all of the stupid plot turns and sordid junk.
I think I am just the Seinfeld type- I love that show-its about nothing.
Other shows I Like that are “current” are:
Psych –except not now the year long break and the so-so last season lost our interest –but we own the first 6 seasons
The big Bang Theory- Got the first 4 season for Christmas-watched them all-Tried watching each week, again lost interest.’
That’s all folks
