TV Time-Couple Time

For someone who claims that she doesn't watch much television, and prefers to read, I watch a helluva a lot of television. In addition to mainstream stalwarts such as Gossip Girl, I have become addicted to several other guilty pleasures which are Hubs friendly, unlike the previously mentioned delights.

Pawn Stars:  It's on the History Channel so educational right?

So Rick is the Old Man's son, and Corey is Rick's son.  I actually learn history because people bring in weird old stuff, and Rick invariably calls a buddy who is an expert in this stuff, who explains the provenance (learning history), then there's negotiation (business), and the family dynamic is always entertaining.  Seriously- Hubs made me watch it and now I love it.

The Closer:

Okay, Kyra's accent is not the best, but just roll with it, and you will stop noticing. She is originally from Atlanta, and now a police chief.  Her squad now says ma'am and y'all.  She brings the heat, is tough is nails, and addicted to sweets.  Oh yeah, and she has FANTASTIC hair. 

And can't wait until this one comes back- Damages:

It's rumored to be back this February, and I am dying for its twisty, slightly creepy return.  Of course, I love a show about a young overwhelmed lawyer battling her psycho murderous boss played by a terrifying Glenn Close.  My parents have become addicted to both The Closer and Damages, so it's great for them to have a couple shows they can watch together, as well.

Any suggestions on shows which are palatable to you and your significant other?
