I'll get you through

This whole winter thing really blows. I have always disliked the winter months, and over the years, my relationship with them has only grown colder (sorry for the pun). However, I am here to help get you through. I am going to enlighten you on several television shows and movies that you should check out to help the time fly. You may already be aware of some of these, but if there are any that you know nothing about, I highly recommend that you check them out.

First, the Olympics start today, and obviously I dont know if these Olympics will be any good, but I would suggest catching at least a little bit of the games. Anything to do with hockey or crazy snowboard stunts is sure to please, along with the downhill skiers who seem to go unhealthily fast. Sadly, a luger died today during a practice run which puts a little damper on the festivities, but Im sure the rest of the athletes will continue on to make at least some of these games enjoyable.

I have watched quite a few movies over the last few months, but there are very few that I would call gotta see its. If you are into mystery thriller types, I would say that Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, or if you enjoy comedy I would say that Couples Retreat is worth a viewing. A couple other movies I would say are at least one shot would be Knowing, Armored, and In Bruges.

Now, there are seemingly too many shows on TV that are worth watching. The first set would be considered family or kids shows, but still worth a look. These are The Penguins of Madagascar, The Wizards of Waverly Place, and as always Jeopardy. A few of my other favorites include Psych, Archer, Modern Family, Leverage, The Buried Life, My Life as Liz, 30 Rock, and always the Real World. Also, the usual greatness that is American Idol is always worth a look, but you never know how good its gonna be, because lets be honest the year that Taylor Hicks won was just a joke, same with Ruben, and Fantasia. Also, this weekend Disney is debuting a new tv movie about a dude who is a pop star and a regular girl that fall in love or something like that, but I plan to write about that after I view it. Now, if youre not interested in any of these and are looking for older shows on hulu or dvd that might catch your eye, I would suggest Arrested Development, What About Brian, The Loop, Glee, and my personal favorite Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I have given you several options to take up some time in your miserable winter lives. Hopefully, with these distractions to ease your mind we will all be able to get out of these months and back into the gloriousness of spring followed by heavenly summer. Trust me I realize that I no doubt left out several great movies that are out now and tv shows that are worth a look, so feel free to mention them on the comment boxes. Thanks for reading
