United States of Tara (What Would Kerrie Watch?) - Kerrie Show

I'm sure it will come as a shock to you that I have time to watch television. But growing up as an only child means that TV was my sibling, people. I don't mean that in a my-parents-neglected-me kind of way AT ALL. I mean that I got to sit in on all sorts of age-inappropriate things growing up like Dynasty, Dallas, Falcon Crest and got to see things like Up In Smoke and Caddyshack at the drive-in and movie theatre (thanks for covering my eyes during the nudie parts, Aunt Cathy!).

So I love TV because it kept me company during the summer mornings when Mom and Dad were at work and I was old enough to stay home. Then in my 20s when I was living alone, it was my company again. Funny I should meet and marry a man who did not own a television and who reminds me that we are lucky to have ONE television sans cable in the house!

So to compensate for lack of decent TV (yes, I have PBS and have put in for Season One of Downton Abbey at the library because I can't catch shows when they are actually on), I borrow full seasons of shows at the library to see if I like them. (that, and my mom has always VIDEOTAPED shows for me off of her new-fangled cable box).

That's how I discovered United States of Tara. I had heard it was set in my hometown of Overland Park, Kansas. Who sets a Showtime show in the OP?, I thought. I mean, *I* think we are cool here but it's still the Midwest, after all. And a friend recently told me they talk about a street quite often that is about a mile from my house. Hmmm.

So I started watching it. Here's the deal:

1. It's SHOWTIME, people, so we are not talking about a clean program. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, though. Lots of cussing, that's for sure, but I am no stranger to a cuss.


2. Don't watch this with the kiddies around. I watch it in the mornings while I do my exercising or while I lesson plan or if I'm up in the middle of the night for whatever reason.


3. The episodes are only about 20 minutes long and there are only 12 episodes in a season so it holds my gnat-like attention span.

Here's a link to buy the first season, in case you have lots of disposable income.
