Neglecting my DVR

So I've been able over the past couple of years to 'sell' my (now husband) on some critical TV shows that I just couldn't live without.  Most of my shows he will watch with me (he secretly loves them)...GG, 90210, Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad, Top Chef, Guiliana & Bill, Bethany, and Flippin Out.  If he had his way...we'd watch NatGeo, ESPN, and Fox News 24/7.  However, my shows he absolutely REFUSES to watch are: Real Housewives, Greys, Desperate, Brothers & Sisters, and Private Practice.  I've given up most of these sadly, but I just couldn't give up Desperate and Private Practice. I've had 4 episodes each unwatched screaming at me from the DVR...but last night, my sweet little husband, (who has the ability to fall asleep ANYWHERE sitting up...trains, planes, automobiles) fell asleep literally in the palm of my hand around 9:30, and I took advantage by aggressively catching up on Private Practice.  Let me tell you...it was a rollercoaster of emotion.  For those of you who watch, the last couple of episodes have focused on Charlotte King, one of the main characters whose profile can be described as a strong, independent, successful, sassy woman, was brutally attacked and raped. It was really one of the most intensely horrific episodes I've seen on any of the shows I keep up with and watch. I found myself holding my breath throughout the episodes, and I really think they did an interesting and amazing job depicting it differently that other shows may have in the past, and in the media.  I read an article online that addressed an interview with the actress.  She spent months at a recovery center for rape victims studying different womens' stories and attending counseling sessions where different women spoke about their experiences.  The writer and producer of the show also did similar research.  Secondly, a close friend of the actress had her attacker convicted the same day the episode aired on television, so it hit close to home for the actress.  It really has been an intense and informing series of episodes the last couple of weeks.  On a lighter note, all that being said, I'm very dedicated to my shows and their characters and story lines, and do NOT like getting behind with my DVR, so here's to catching up, and many more nights of my sleepy husband falling asleep in front of the TV so I can sneak in my guilty pleasure girly emo shows without his moaning and groaning about them being torchure :-).  PS I promise the other shows I watch are light-hearted and evoke more laughter.  i.e. on tonight's schedule...Top Chef All-Stars! Team Tiffany!
