There are way too many nuances and hints in each episode and now the fake commercials linked in....<BR/>ER - 5 needles DEFINITELY and Law and Order (Addicted I am) four needlesBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770811980956753360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147409976522917652006-05-11T21:59:00.000-07:002006-05-11T21:59:00.000-07:00So funny!

I must confess, thought, that I am ADDICTED to Lost (I watch the DVDs) and would never, never knit through it...especially the last two minutes!katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822551334481917442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147378136553933462006-05-11T13:08:00.000-07:002006-05-11T13:08:00.000-07:00I also give Grey's 4 or 5 needles.

Maybe because of Mrs,Weasley's enchanted knitting needles but I love that whole magic household scene. 5 needles for certain!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019945594077078227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147227100944401932006-05-09T19:11:00.000-07:002006-05-09T19:11:00.000-07:00I don't watch any of those shows except for Americ...I don't watch any of those shows except for American Idol. I do watch the Sopranos, but not on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>I'm like you - I can't just sit and watch TV. 99.9% of the time I knit! My husband can't understand why I can't just sit, cuddle, and watch a movie with him. Got to give me room for my needles! To me it's a waste of time to sit and stare at the boob tube when I could be doing something productive!lexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349151799470816752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147217743075397412006-05-09T16:35:00.000-07:002006-05-09T16:35:00.000-07:00It's gotten so I feel like a slacker if I'm watchi...It's gotten so I feel like a slacker if I'm watching tv without knitting. Like I should be doing something. This makes it much harder to justify those intense shows that you just can't knit and watch at the same time, like 24. I watch anyway, but it's a little weird without the knitting. Hmm - sometimes I pick up some stockinette socks for these shows, so maybe I'd rank my favorite tv shows as lace knitting versus stockinette knitting. Something to think about anyway.<BR/><BR/>I also really like this new show on ABC, "What About Brian." Last night was the season finale, but look for reruns - it was a short first season, but a good show.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278974478020262412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147209240535715712006-05-09T14:14:00.000-07:002006-05-09T14:14:00.000-07:00Hmmm...

I always knit while I'm watching tv... but I watch alot of Turner classic movies, which are old and chances are I've seen them already so no worries there... <BR/><BR/>Oh.. almost forgot the Daily Show.

I end up missing scenes and/or screwing up my knitting. But I love knitting to DVDs of films or shows I like, because I know just when I need to put the needles down and pay attention to the Really Good Scene (or rewind it if I was busy counting stitches when it happened.)<BR/><BR/>My very favorites, though, I don't knit to, I just watch. Like the Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended versions, please.)Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04475159295250863910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147188815339803212006-05-09T08:33:00.000-07:002006-05-09T08:33:00.000-07:00We seem to agree on the tv shows...I watch and kni...We seem to agree on the tv shows...I watch and knit during most of those...<BR/><BR/>I would add Commander-In-Chief...it is pretty easy to knit through...Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188797432417336539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147188618440268022006-05-09T08:30:00.000-07:002006-05-09T08:30:00.000-07:00This is soooo funny.

I need to start over on season 1 but the only way I CAN watch it is to knit! haha.<BR/>Love your Jaywalkers, what a cute way to give them! I am so sorry about the Potomamus socks, having struggled through the first part, I know it was a bit painful to frog them...but now they make more sense to me and I definitely will remember to shift the stitches after reading about your experience!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549298869416302089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147151452537516762006-05-08T22:10:00.000-07:002006-05-08T22:10:00.000-07:00I'm so into Veronica Mars right now!

I'm going to have to catch Grey's Anatomy - never watched it - but keep hearing good things. I like The Office but love My Name is Earl more. Being a sci-fi fan I watch Stargate a lot. Since really getting into knitting I watch more tv than I use to and have been reading less than I use to. So I've taken to audio books on my ipod while I walk to kind of replace reading a little bit.

Others: Any of the comedies replaying on Nick at Night. I especially like Roseanne, but since I've seen all the episodes more than a few times, I don't need to look at the screen unless a scene I like is coming up (and I know where those are). <BR/>I work from home during the day so I can watch all of the Fox judge shows while I'm working or taking a knitting break. Not much requires looking at. <BR/><BR/>I think the lesson here is I watch too much TV! <BR/><BR/>I'm working on a lace pattern right now and it's complicated enough that I have to turn off the TV and concentrate on counting stitches.Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405956286050242058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147144044079134672006-05-08T20:07:00.000-07:002006-05-08T20:07:00.000-07:00I had to laugh when I read your post! Very fun! ...I had to laugh when I read your post! Very fun! We don't have cable tv at our house (cable computer, yes! cable tv, no...), so my viewing is limited to major broadcast networks. However, I find the Apprentice, Law & Order, ER, and just about any comedy to be a perfect companion to knitting. I've always thought that knitting and tv were meant for each other -- it makes me feel much less guilty for watching tv by giving me something to show for my "idle" time. I must add, however, that I still can't work on my "Summer in Kansas" shawl AND pay attention to the tube at the same time. Mr. Rogers works because I can ignore that; other shows just cause me to make mistakes...YarnThrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261414607842071918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-1147137398594146162006-05-08T18:16:00.000-07:002006-05-08T18:16:00.000-07:00I'd give 5 needles to Grey's Anatomy (like the yum...I'd give 5 needles to Grey's Anatomy (like the yummy addition of Chris O'Donnell) and I'd add Gilmore Girls (even though it has jumped the shark). I find it hard to knit through 24 (even when watched on DVD) because there are too many visual aspects of the show.... 5 needles to knitting during Red Sox games or hockey playoff games. :-)Joanne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360142975155509923noreply@blogger.com
