So what is the entertainment of choice for a wounded girl and her trusty canine companion?
While in Phoenix, my dad and I managed to watch two full seasons of HBO's The Wire on DVD in about 6 days. Incidentally, this is not really a good show to watch with your dad, as there is an uncomfortable amount of swearing and nudity, which makes for awkward tv-watching all around. Other than that, it's an amaing show.
But now that i'm back in AK and we've exhausted our supply of The Wire, Truman and I have been enjoying a steady stream of tivoed Without a Trace, Law & Order SVU, Mythbusters, Friday Night Lights and (the guiltiest of guilty pleasures) Veronica Mars. I've also been watching Grey's Anatomy and ER, but you need to be careful watching that stuff after spending time in the hospital. It takes on a much creepier tone....
Posted by cmandala at February 12, 2007 11:25 AMThe Wire is great, although I also would not want to watch it with a parent. The third season is on DVD, and is available from netflix. I'm currently watching season 1 of Rome, which is even more so not a show to watch with a parent. But I'm officially hooked and the DVD has an option to get historical information while you're watching, which satisfies my need to geek.

You can always rely on HBO to provide male frontal nudity.
I've been watching Supernatural--my big guilty pleasure--which esentially the X-Files with himboes. The first season is out on DVD.
At the Melodee we've been watching Dirty Jobs when American Idol isn't on and B and I are totally in love with the host.
I'm also a big fan of Deadwood, which starts off slow but by gawd, the use of profanity is sure poetry.
