No, I <em>love</em> TV. I always have. It started with <a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-were-your-favorite-television.html">Sesame Street</a>, back in the days when I was learning the alphabet and The Count was teaching all about numbers. Then I went through my Disney Channel and Nickelodeon phase. Now, friends, I'm referring to the classic heyday of these channels in the '90s. I watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086744/">Kids' Incorporated</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096641/">MMC</a> religiously after school (<a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2009/08/man-candy-monday_24.html">Ryan</a> <a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2011/08/daily-affirmation-50.html">Gosling</a>, <a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2011/10/feminist-ryan-gosling.html">anyone</a>?).<br /><br />And when we got a DVR a few years ago, I felt like I'd hit the jackpot in Vegas. I now had 100 hours at my disposal to record anything and everything my little pop-culture-loving heart desired. Here's a little round-up of some of the shows I'm loving these days (<em>and one show that got cancelled too soon...</em>)...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxxTJiJkwSA5HlnIhHouOcGcq6c27PTm7G1KQQZseOvyl9Sb9jIW1Oa6mHFOIRXcXjwTR8CWJS3VQdTntN17KMPnTH-meC4FZP2HQCZ47XDWMGclFTd6Oj5Fd0QLIJtTM3grsOBsqPNo/s1600/aa3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701269346855447986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxxTJiJkwSA5HlnIhHouOcGcq6c27PTm7G1KQQZseOvyl9Sb9jIW1Oa6mHFOIRXcXjwTR8CWJS3VQdTntN17KMPnTH-meC4FZP2HQCZ47XDWMGclFTd6Oj5Fd0QLIJtTM3grsOBsqPNo/s400/aa3.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 0px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmphfi72hHgqd6LIb9cht9cQsoPYowDaJl7n0cS6D9e4HSylf_yRUeM9UVAsPbILDGygIwGQW6LuK6X73ioMt_2HzSmoGcHwEmrV5JUlZE7EHSQQ9odxPZMayAyxW9jB4DoklLaNZQPs/s1600/aa4.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701268901707296066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmphfi72hHgqd6LIb9cht9cQsoPYowDaJl7n0cS6D9e4HSylf_yRUeM9UVAsPbILDGygIwGQW6LuK6X73ioMt_2HzSmoGcHwEmrV5JUlZE7EHSQQ9odxPZMayAyxW9jB4DoklLaNZQPs/s400/aa4.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 0px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_d9Ffd1oXKQDliZpIqz1YUGRmOPMnP2OVVj-_BkwTzqHZI3J6BcokiU9r-UhOttNNguj-puZ3dgqzS7Zx3E8kwr12DBa5fH_5CnSvEhq6L-NWYUUNPtg4KTV1sNI_cWImOk_3iYsHKIU/s1600/aa5.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701268903180538930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_d9Ffd1oXKQDliZpIqz1YUGRmOPMnP2OVVj-_BkwTzqHZI3J6BcokiU9r-UhOttNNguj-puZ3dgqzS7Zx3E8kwr12DBa5fH_5CnSvEhq6L-NWYUUNPtg4KTV1sNI_cWImOk_3iYsHKIU/s400/aa5.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 0px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 262px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyh_77ouLB1lqXv_w74h84iRTJTayopZYjCK7-s_JxkKUnrgMfAq3s1IH6HDkACT93CSRLD2d7OfuDFAxWO_N3dAyXSF6MB51ZXqzwNOrHQrM64uv8xgfhRbxwPIXOZoQZMnNCfxdoryQ/s1600/aa6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701268893020939042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyh_77ouLB1lqXv_w74h84iRTJTayopZYjCK7-s_JxkKUnrgMfAq3s1IH6HDkACT93CSRLD2d7OfuDFAxWO_N3dAyXSF6MB51ZXqzwNOrHQrM64uv8xgfhRbxwPIXOZoQZMnNCfxdoryQ/s400/aa6.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 0px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 259px;" /></a><a href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/gossip-girl">Gossip Girl</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fabcfamily.go.com%2Fshows%2Fpretty-little-liars&ei=VeweT5riE4XZqgGln6DQDQ&usg=AFQjCNFggU1p3uiN-sZ1thCpPCRgrctnIQ">Pretty Little Liars</a> are the perfect guilty pleasures.
