Televised

Claudio and I like to watch TV. It's a simple way to get our mind of the stresses of school..fascinating, right? Here's some of our favorite shows and why we like them.

The show we watch most is called Pobre Rico. This is a Chilean Soap Opera about an upper class and a lower class boy who were switched at birth. The episodes are about 25 minutes long and come out EVERY DAY. I suppose that is what I mean by a soap opera! I love it because it really helps me with my Spanish in making sure that I understand words and can stay immersed even if I am no longer living there. I think Claudio really enjoys it because he's so far away from home and everything that he is used to, I'm sure its some form of a coping mechanism. Its a good series and we love watching it together. We are currently on episode 150. (He's watched since the beginning, I jumped in around episode 60).

 

Classic American hit that we both enjoy. Its a simple sitcom with witty characters, simple enough. They are funny and quotable and just give us a good laugh. 

I began watching Raising Hope a while back and Claudio jumped in with me on season two. It's sort of about a family of rather dumb people who's son got a murderer pregnant and when she was executed he inherited his child. It sounds like a horror movie now, but it's hilarious! They characters are quirky, funny, and able to show you how to have fun when you're poor.

New Girl is the best. Yet another sitcom, basically hilarious and entertaining as it can be. We sing the theme song all of the time and always watch this show first. It's our favorite!

We started watching the Walking Dead a few weeks ago with Claudio's house mates and would have a pot luck and watch the hour long show together. It was a great bonding activity, but we realized a tv show about zombies really isn't a wholesome activity, especially when I had to go home in the dark (don't worry, he always walks me!) It doesn't look like we'll be watching it anymore. But, it's really intense.
