The holidays are over and life is getting back to normal. The relatives have gone home, the kids are back at school and regular TV programming has resumed.
I've started watching "The Curse of Oak Island" on the History Channel. http://www.history.com/shows/the-curse-of-oak-island As we all know, I'm a big history geek and love shows like this that force us to look at the unexplained, the other side of things. The possibilities. We're two episodes in already and, unfortunately, I'm getting a little frustrated. They haven't really come up with new evidence as to the mystery of Oak Island and I feel like I've seen all of this information before on an episode of "America Unearthed" or that show from the 70's with Leonard Nimoy.
I've been watching "Reign" on the CW. I think it comes back on a little later in the month. It's the story of Mary Stuart (AKA Mary Queen of Scots) and is kind of a Gossip Girl meets The Other Boleyn Girl and I'm probably about 30 years old to be watching it but it's fun and campy and not very historically accurate which really doesn't bother me. I get my history fix from other sources.

This week "Blacklist" returned to NBC. I made Cosmo sit down and watch it with me and he really, really liked it. James Spader is awesome in the role of "Red" Reddington. http://www.nbc.com/the-blacklist/
I also started watching "Intelligence" with Josh Holloway and the red-headed actress from CSI, Marg Helgenberger). http://www.cbs.com/shows/intelligence/ He's got a computer chip in his head and is basically a walking, talking, living and breathing Internet.
Tonight is "Nashville" night! http://abc.go.com/shows/nashville I really enjoy this show which is very weird because I do not like country music. At all. But I love Connie Britton's character and Hayden Panettiere is also great as Juliette Barnes. She's kind of an ingénue in public but a bitch behind the scenes.
While I do enjoy a good TV series, I also like to relax with a good book. I'm currently reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. The book is long. 756 pages on my Nook. I'm on page 242 right now and to be honest, I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this book. Maybe I just had very high expectations and am a little let down?? IDK but I'll see it through to the end.
