Since moving into the new house, one of the things Sunny and I have come to love is our new DVR. If you own a DVR, then you already know this is the greatest invention since the wheel. If you don’t have a DVR, I’m guessing you’re also still jammin’ to your 8-track or hi-fi. Seriously, my old VHS tapes already look antiquated. I’ve discovered a few gems since we’ve had the DVR and I’ll be periodically blogging about some of my favorites.

One of the shows I’ve grown to enjoy these past few weeks is Moving Up on TLC. I’ll admit it: if I weren’t married, I probably wouldn’t be watching anything on TLC (although that tatoo show looks kinda manly). But Sunny’s a junkie and, what can I say, I like spending time with her. Ergo, I watch Moving Up. It’s kind of like when I was in college and a certain roommate of mine (who shall remain nameless — mainly because he’s an attorney now and, it’s like I always say, never publicly slander an attorney lest he sue your pants off) was hooked on Beverly Hills 90210 and dutifully watched each episode. Same thing; the show’s gonna be on whether you like it or not, so you’d better grab a seat and enjoy it. (In the sake of full disclosure, I also have to admit that I’ve seen nearly every episode of 90210 and, yes, I did kind of enjoy it, especially the ones with Dylan.)

Anyway, Moving Up is a great show, married or not. The idea is simple: film couples as they sell their house and buy and fix up another house; then, invite the old homeowners back to see the changes. With our recent sell (and purchase), I guess I’m more drawn to these home makeover shows. I look forward to a new episode each Saturday night, mainly because it’s time I get to spend with Sunny.

If you haven’t seen Moving Up, you should check it out.
