Five for Friday (almost)


For this Five for Friday, I’ll cover the TV shows my wife and I watch. Of course, we don’t actually watch TV on TV—we watch recorded shows burned from DVD recorders in the US or bought seasons of shows that we or our friends here in Kijabe own. (And we don’t watch all these shows at once…I think it would be a full-time job to keep up on five shows simultaneously.)

5—Amazing Race. A fun reality show about what happens when different cultures, travel, family stress, and a lack of sleep combine—which are things we can relate to as missionaries and parents of toddlers.
4—Friday Night Lights. This show is all about high school, football, God, and romance. Some of my favorite things. (Not necessarily in that order though.)
3—Survivor. Although we faithfully watched this show in the U.S., we’ve lost track a bit. I think we watched the spring of 2006 season in June and July. I’m still waiting for them to do an Arctic Survivor, change things up a bit.
2—Lost. This might be #1 on Heather’s list, but it’s #2 and falling on mine. Why? Well, I love the idea of having a dozen or so main characters to highlight, but when they add 8 and kill off 2 each season, it’s a little too much to keep up with. But until we know what the Dharma Initiative is, I’ll probably keep watching.
1—The Office. You probably knew this one would be on top. (“That’s what she said.”)
