TV Shows and the Olympics

As I sit here at home watching "Chopped," I'm beginning to realize that I have no TV show to watch anymore. Mad Men is over, and I can't watch my usual summer show, "True Blood," because we no longer have HBO  (although two of my girlfriends have been DVRing it for me so I need to get to their house to watch it ASAP).


I know I should be proactive with my life and not depend on television as my only source of entertainment, but sometimes a girl just wants to sit in front of a tv, watch a show, and eat ice cream. I just wish I still had a "show" to watch. Usually, I find myself flipping between three channels: HGTV, The Travel Channel, and The Food Network, but I feel like all the shows on them I can just pick up and watch whenever I want without having seen the previous episodes. I want something that has a plotline and a following, and I'm pretty sure that the summertime is the worst time to start looking for this...


On a side note, the Olympics are coming soon! I. LOVE. THE. OLYMPICS. Its the one time I can watch TV at all hours of the night, and something interesting will be on. I also like to pretend that I am an expert in the sport that I am watching, and comment on it like a pro while yelling at the TV. Some of my favorite sports to follow during this time are gymnastics, diving and tennis.



What have you been watching on the boob tube lately? What sport(s) will you be following this Olympic season?
