Top 3 Favorite Shows of All Time: The Closer, Roseanne, Cold Case

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: My favorite Television memory of all time is on The Closer when Brenda has to deal with a suspect in a case that she never had enough evidence to convict. It was great to see how Brenda reacted to the whole situation.

Bio: I have lived in North Carolina all of my life. In the process of looking for a job right now but writing has always been a passion to me. I love to read and watch my favorite TV shows. I also am an exercise junkie and I live every day to the fullest.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Having to quit a drinking game before the halftime of the Bears/Colts SuperBowl when it got to be too much alcohol from all the turnovers and scoring… plus the Colts won. Though, a close second is everytime I see a Washington Capitals shirt show up on Raising Hope.

Bio: Born in the same city as Ray Bradbury, people say I can come across like a walking IMDB and look like Ralphie. However, I also spend time with my ladies (wife and daughter) and my ever expanding Lego collection. Yep, I too am straight out of science fiction.

 

Many times I have attempted to enter the entertainment game as a full-fledged player, but now seem to think I might be better suited as the sideline reporter (no groping Donald Glover). Thanks to TTCC for opportunity to stretch out my writing muscles.

Top 3 Favorite Shows of All Time: The Office, Sliders, Entourage

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: This took place over a full year. My favorite TV memory was when I was in 8th grade and I watched The Office episode, “The Dundies” almost every night while going to sleep. Now I can freakishly recite every line in that episode…And I’m proud of that!

Bio: I have an extreme obsession with TV and particularly The Office. I love the feeling of watching a great show and knowing that this was made for my (and the people of America’s) entertainment. I have been writing reviews of TV shows since August 2008 and plan on continuing to do so. I am younger than most writers on the website, at 16, but I enjoy writing about TV a lot, and that’s what matters. I am really excited and grateful to have the privilege of writing on The Two Cents and look forward to a great season of television.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Would it be really tacky of me to say New York getting spat on by Pum’kin on Flavor of Love? ‘Cause I don’t know. That was pretty epic. No, but really it would have to be the 74th Annual Academy Awards ceremony, when Halle Berry won for Monster’s Ball. That was absolutely amazing and as a black girl who has had a passion for acting all my life, an inspiration to me!

Bio: I’m just a twenty year-old girl from Accra, Ghana who loves Elizabethan theater, John Keats, Old Hollywood, and sushi. I also happen to watch way too much television for my own good.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: One of my most memorable moments growing up was watching the Dean Martin Roasts with my father. He loved Dean Martin and I have to say, my father kinda looked like Dean. Anyways, dad loved to watch who would be roasted and I loved watching my dad laugh.He worked hard and you didn’t get to see him laugh too much, so this was a very special to me. My dad passed away and I miss him so much, but at least I have some great memories of him and Dino.

Bio: Married for 25 years and have two children, Ben 20 & Samantha 18. Yes, I am going through those tough teenage years! I work at the local library and actually can say that I like my job! I enjoy reading and watching a lot of my favorit e TV shows… there are lots of them.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Watching multiple news stations announce Obama as our next President in a crowded bar with my co-workers. Coming in a close second is watching my San Francisco Giants win the World Series in 2010.

Bio: I am an environmentalist who admits that watching TV and spending too much time on the computer is probably not the best for the environment, but love when environmental type topics show up on my favorite television shows, especially if it’s pro-environment. I love shows with amazing dialogue and really do believe that “decisions are made my those who show up.” I also have a weird knack for remembering things, enjoy exploring new hiking locations, and baking.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: It all really comes down to one line: “Francie doesn’t like coffee ice cream.”

Bio: A friend recently called me her “real life Leslie Knope,” which I consider the highest compliment I’ve ever been paid. I’m an aspiring entertainment journalist and an Amy Poehler wannabe. I get starstruck in the presence of the Green Bay Packers. I’ve memorized the Alias season 4 blooper reel, and when I’m gloomy, I look at photos of David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel being friends. You should try it sometime.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Watching all the great animated Christmas shows as a kid. My little sister and I would get to open one gift on Christmas Eve (it was always pajamas) and we would watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer until we were made to go to bed. I still watch those shows every year and I can’t wait to watch them again with my children.

Bio: Though I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, I became a Louisiana native in 1999. I’m currently a work-at-home mom (yes, it’s freaking work!) with a two year old daughter and a newborn son. I did community theatre work in the past and I enjoy being the center of attention.
