Portland, OR

Like essentially everyone else in Portland, I’m an active MySpace and an active FaceBook member … and I probably spend way too much time on both networking sites. FaceBook has a neat application that will show you the “Top _____ in the ______ network.” and today I got to see the

Top TV in the Portland network
(and since I’ve obviously been on a PDX media kick lately, I figured I’d share my reactions to their list!)

First let me say that Portland has great taste in television; I have seen at least an entire season of all but one show on this list.

1. Family Guy - is an animated show geared towards adults about a horribly dysfunctional family in Quahog (co-hog), Rhode Island (a fictional town). Family Guy began in 1999 thanks to Seth MacFarlane and has been “cancelled” twice but thanks to the love from it’s fan, it is continually brought back on air. My favorite part of the show is absolutely the cut-away scenes that do nothing to actually add to the show, but are just so random they make you laugh.

2. LOST - this show is my absolute favorite show ever. Last night someone asked me why I was so fascinated by the show, and I really have no concrete reason. Sometimes it’s because I often feel just like Kate (played by Evangeline Lily) and sometimes it’s because I just want to know what the hell the weird smoke monster is! Castaways stuck on an island in the middle of no where (well, we kinda know where it might be) deal with personal drama and with “stuck-on-an-island-full-o-weird-shit” drama. If you’ve never seen any of this fantastic show, start at the very beginning and get hooked like I did!

3. House - Hugh Laurie plays a smart-ass yet oh-so-smart-and-hot doctor on this Fox television show. If that’s not enough to make you want to watch it, the fact that they have all sorts of weiiiiiiird medical ailments featured should be enough to draw you in.

4. Friends - the one show on the list I’m not a huge fan of. Of course I’ve seen a few episodes, and I know the general plotline, but I was not one of the Friends-fanatics that my generation went through. Sorry for those of you looking for details on these 20-somethings’ (30-somethings??) lives.

5. Scrubs - Hi. Larious. Serious comedy starring the beautiful Zach Braff. I have seen every episode from every season released. The latest season was just added to my NetFlix list and I will laugh my way through this satirical medical school/student dramedy all over again. Please enjoy the YouTube (Digger) is looking for a writer if anyone is interested) video of one of my favorite Scrubs scenes.
