Snorts and oinks friends to a happy and wonderful Friday! I think my buddy Maxwell says it best in this video clip – bring on the weekend!
So today on this fine Friday, I wanted to ask you an important question. You see mom and dad were discussing their favorite shows on television last night and it got me to thinking. Why don’t I ask all of you my friends so that maybe we can highlight a show that someone else might want to watch. Makes sense huh?
So I’m going to start with our three favorite shows to watch here at the Hotel Thompson (in no particular order).
Mountain Monsters – Now this is a show that we didn’t watch right off when it came on the Destination American channel. But one night mom did and she has been hooked every since. The AIMS team (which stands for Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings) goes all over looking for monsters in the woods. AIMS was founded by team members Trapper John Tice, Jeff Headlee and Willy McQuillian. There is also Buck, Wild Bill and Huckleberry. Awesome names huh? They have done shows on everything from the Jersey Devil to the mysterious Bigfoot.
Investigative Discovery – Or as you may know and recognize it – the I.D. Channel. Anything that is related to murder is on the channel. And my mom – she considers herself an inspector in trying to figure out the show endings before the television tells you. It’s really interesting to see how people think they can “get away” with murder. Never a dull moment and trust me, you won’t be able to just watch ‘one’ show and leave. Oh no, you will be hooked!
Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Brothers and Dead Files – Okay I hooked all of these up in one posting because they all deal with the paranormal, the afterlife, the what bumps in the middle of the night and keeps you on your toes kind of television shows. Mom and dad both love this stuff and yeah I have to admit that it’s grown on me. I’m not as afraid of things in the middle of the night anymore. Houdini though – he’s another story.
So tell me my friends, what are your favorite shows?

we have a similar show to your Investigate Discovery and we are glued to the tv when we watch it. I wish we had such ghost-stuff shows here, I would like that :o) The mama is on a die-t and she loves to watch cook shows now… that’s weird, like self-flagellation somehow LOL

OMP! Isn’t that the truth about moms watching cooking shows. My mom wants to watch but since her and dad are kicking it DIEt hard, no food shows per the daddy. So funny. And the ID channel – oh WOWZER. Mom tells daddy all of the time, “You better watch it – I watch the ID shows”. Now that is too funny! XOXO – Bacon

Mom and Dad pretty much only watch PBS…..they LOVE the British mysteries and Australian mysteries..Dr. Blake Mysteries (Aussie), Midsomer Murders (British), Mr. and Mrs. Murder (Aussie) are three of their current faves but there are TONS of them.
Hugs, Sammy

Snorts with piggy laughter. They are getting along better. They played last week with some friends from out of town. Now mom is back to work trying to play catch up. Hilarious she is. XOXO – Bacon
P.S. After you bite your mom, give her a hog and snout kiss from us okay.

Mom and Dad watches everything on Netflix. They (we) just finished 30 Rock and have started on Frazier, Season 1. I like when they laugh. )

OMP – I love it when my humans laugh too. Those are some great shows. Mom finished all of the series of Dexter not too long ago. That woman – the gore she loves – too funny. XOXO – Bacon
P.S. Hope your feeling better ((Hogs and snout kisses))

I don’t watch TV often. And netflix never. But my favourite shows would probably be political cabaret ones.
Piglove

Oh yes… dad loves those too! XOXO – Bacon

Hi Piglove, our tv here in Finland is very much American, almost all the shows, mom likes Frazier, X-Files, and dad likes news and South Park. I watch Formula Car race.
For your whole family: Have a nice weekend. If you look very carefully to the horizon, you might see my white paw waiving to you.

Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files, Law & Order classic (w/Michael Moriarity, not too fond of the Jack McCoy era). Unfortunately, one of our faves, Person of Interest, is in its final run. Too bad CBS got tired of this one, it is one of the better written shows. Makes you not to trust your devices too much. Another we like is Mystery at The Museum.
