TV SHOWS


Everyone has a favorite TV show, some are funny, some are dramatic, some are weird but those are our tastes.




These are our favorite TV Shows:



ELLEN DEGENERES




I love the Ellen Degeneres show because he always has something funny to say or do and not ashamed to say it. 
Although I can not see it on TV and I have to do on a computer, I do not care because it makes me laugh like as a child, but I would love to pass it on to any of the channels that I have programmed in TV. 
I can not stop loving this TV Show.



FRIENDS





It is my favorite TV Show. I love how each chapter develop, as they give a special touch to each character. The six are complementary. They are silly, tender and sarcastic. Value friendship above all. Support each other. And no matter what, they still maintain their friendship. There is no single reason not to love this series. It's the best. 

I must add that, to see the end of this TV Show i was crying all the time.



GREY'S ANATOMY




It's my favorite TV show, I love it because as everyone knows is a drama between doctors in which the relationships are between them and separate the series has some real good players is. The truth is that it could be time and hours discussing this series and all I've learned from it, but I think that everyone knows. This series has given me laughter has intrigued me with its large frame, I cried so much that I almost dehydrated. I'm waiting for the end and I'll have to get tissues because'll mourn.



THE BIG BANG THEORY




I love how unselfishly designed to sheldon for women and their way of explaining things so theoretically over propagate ... it's amazing that the acts have already 40 in real life 
One of the characters that make me laugh is the mom as howard and answered each other screaming haha. 

I see TV, but I always buy the seasons when they come out to see them.
