Over here we don’t watch tv too much but when we do, we always try to choose some educational/ adventurous shows. We PVR our favorite shows and then just skip all the commercials so we won’t get interrupted while watching the show. It’s definitely time saving.

Ivo and I absolutely don’t care about people who shut themselves in a house and spend some time together, or about the newest fashion or some crazy reality shows about spoiled rich people’s lives. We love a good action, beautiful nature and if we learn some interesting new facts, get advices and tips from the show, than even better. Lately we’ve been hooked up on shows featuring Alaska. The nature there is just stunning and all the wilderness just takes our breath away. So here goes a list of our recent favorite shows:

:: Ultimate Survival Alaska – at National Geographic – we’ve discovered this show just a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! It’s amazing what people can accomplish and how they can push themselves to the limits. This show also beautifully shows the strength of people and their friendships. It is a race among four teams but when someone is in a life threatening situation, everyone helps no matter what team they are on.

:: The Big Bang Theory  – we have been a huge fans of this show for several seasons now. Sheldon and his group of geeky scientist friends and their girlfriends make us laugh so hard sometimes. We love their geeky humor and the situations they are getting themselves into. One of the best shows ever!

Amy: I don’t need your medicine. I’m not really sick. I got better two days ago.
Bernadette: I don’t understand.
Amy: It’s been so nice having Sheldon take care of me, I just wanted that to last longer.
Bernadette: You should tell him.
Amy: I know.
Sheldon: (From the other room) Amy! Are you strong enough to bathe yourself, or do you need my help?
Amy: I’ll tell him tomorrow.

:: Bear Grylls: Escape from Hell – this show is a new one. It’s similar to another of our favorites: Man vs. Wild where Bear shows how to survive in difficult situations. In this new one, he re-creates survival situations from people around the world and shows how to deal with difficult situations.

:: MythBusters – you know how you watch Hollywood movies and there are amazing action situations and you are like: wow, that’s pretty cool! So guess what, almost nothing from what you see is real and it’s just a work of tricks and special effects. We love to watch this show with kids to show them that a lot of stuff they see isn’t real and that means that they shouldn’t try it on their own.The main hosts of the show – Adam and Jamie – have always fun reproducing those situations.

:: Friends – last but not least, our all time favorite show. The show is re-running on tv all the time and a lot of those episodes we saw several times. But still every single time it makes us laugh out loud.
