I haven't really blogged much about TV this past year. I mentioned the OC was ending, which caused a little controversy with some Josh Schwartz fans. Just because I know believe Chuck and Gossip Girl will be as unwatchable as the last season of the OC, doesn't mean I have given up on television. There are still some shows that I hate to miss. And that is why God invented Tivo DVR.

1. Los Angeles Lakers Games
   I never miss a game, proverbial period.

2. Entourage
   The best show on TV. I don't care what you Grey's Anatomy, American Idol watching people say.
   
   
3. South Park
   It's the best cartoon ever. The Simpsons are close but no cartoon character can beat Cartman. They are getting better as the years go by. Can't say that about the Simpsons.
4. Real Time With Bill Maher
   I remember the Comedy Central days. Then 10 years on ABC. Some comments about terrorists and that marriage ended. One year later Bill found a home with HBO. Besides the Daily Show, where else can you learn about the world while laughing your ass off?
5. The Office
   Many will argue it lacks the dry humor and wit of the original British version. However Ricky Gervase is a producer and I find the show quit funny. In fact I might call it HIlarious.
6. 30 Rock
   Tracey Morgan = HILARIOUS. Tina Fey = HILARIOUS. Alec Baldwin = HILARIOUS. If you aren't watching this show you are missing out.
7. Friday Night Lights
   You are definitely not watching this show because its ratings are terrible. While the movie was mediocre at best, the show is one of the best dramas on TV. Football is only a small part of the show. Minka Kelly stars in it. What better reason is there than that?
8. Miami Ink
   A show about tattoos. It's awesome. Garver is one the best tattoo artist in the world.
9. The War at Home
   Michael Rapport and his pseudo-realistic family life. It's light hearted and raw. They are always swearing and bleeping it like South Park. The plots are funny and never drag on for half a season. It's a modern day Married with Children. Kaylee DeFer is HOT.
10. Inked
    A tattoo show based in the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. Carey Hart owns the place and my old neighbor, Twig, works there. The show is fun but becomes a little too "reality tv" at times. Unlike Miami Ink, do these guys ever tattoo? Hart and Huntington is top tier shop and has a set a new trend of elegance in tattoo shops around the world.
11. The Hills
    Lauren = HOT. Heidi = HOT. Do I need another reason?
12. Weeds
    The first season was up and down. The second season was off the hook. All of the characters found their niche. The season finale was intense. It's much more than a show about a suburban mom who sells weed.
13. Laguna Beach
    More hot, over-privileged high school girls in bikinis. It's awesome brainless fun.
14. Arrested Development Reruns
    This show was so good even the reruns are worth watching over and over and over again.

Here are few other shows I do happen to miss and for some reason not record. I love 'em but barely watch 'em.

• Late Night with Conan
• The Simpsons
• The Daily Show
• Coulbert Report
• Jeopardy
• The Real World
• Bam's Holy Union
• Heros
• SNL
• Las Vegas

I am sure I missed a few good shows. That list should cover most of it. So set your DVRs and start watching. If only I could get this damn Timewarner DVR to boot. Phuking cable company, can you do anything right?
