Black-White and Oh So Blue

We don't watch a lot of TV at our house.  The TV never gets turned on in the morning or afternoons, ever.  Back in the day, Linda used to watch Dog Whisperer at 3 p.m. so she could learn all sorts of dog psychology.  It really boils down to "cookie."  Most any dog will do what you want it to if you say that magic word, so she stopped watching it.  There are only a few shows she likes, and if they are in reruns, she just leaves the TV off in the evening.  EXCEPT... (you knew that was coming, right?) when she starts watching a TV series on Netflix.  Linda is a black or white type of thinker. She never reads just one book by an author, she reads every book ever written by them; she'll eat super clean and healthy or have jalapeno poppers for dinner with a diet root beer tonight's meal; she never just picks up around the house, she has to clean like company is coming every single week.)  As soon as she starts watching a a new Netflix series, she must watch every episode as fast as possible.  We watched all the seasons of Lie to Me in just a few weeks.  Prison Break?  That was even faster.  24.. that show was watched almost real time.  We just started watching White Collar tonight and already we are on episode 4.  Its a fun story about a forger who gets out of jail to help the FBI solve crimes.
No really, she is watching it for the story line.
