Okay so am I the only one here that views Trash TV as a hobby?
Huh?
Well when I DO watch TV I like it to be educational as well as entertaining ( Discovery Channel, Discovery Health, Food Network, Animal Planet, you get the idea). However sometimes my brain aches for some good old fashion butt numbing eyeball watering Trash TV.
You know those reality programs that make your teeth ache ( I gotta stop grinding them together when I am trying to not just let loose and laugh out loud).
From G's to Gents
Nanny 911
Trading Spouses
Flavor of Love ( 1 and 2)
That sort of thing?
So step up and be honest here. I know I can't be THE ONLY ONE to waste a little time ( and a lot of laughter) on these programs. Who else is with me?
Wife Swap... If I could only watch an hour of TV a week it would be that LOL... on the Drama side I am TOTALLY addicted to Skins on BBC America. I LOVE that damn show... it's in a close running with Wife Swap for my one hour a week claim
The only reality shows we watch are Hells Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and So You Think You Can Dance. I think we both wish we were Fred and Ginger but neither of us has that kind of talent...or stamina...or looks .
I love those wife swap ones. Sometimes surprisingly enough they turn out all happy dappy ( much to the dismay of the network I am sure).
I've seen Man v.s. Wild.....there is another one like that too. I can't see myself stuck in the congo though with only some twine and a machete.....EVER. Hmmmm.....should I take notes just in case though?
A TERRIBLE one is "Bad Girls Club". Basically round up all the nastiest, unclassiest, ignorant, BRATZ wannabe , *edity edit* estrogen ridden characters you can find and shack them up in one house. I had my son watch 1/2 an episode with the lesson "If you EVER date ANYTHING like that when you get older I swear to GOD I will beat the zheet out of BOTH of you."
His reply: Mom! I'm not that DUMB! What's WRONG with those women???
Good boy.
Since I have started watching my friend's 4 year old and I have a very limited capacity for DoodleBops,Johnny and The Sprites, Jo-Jo's Circus, and SpongeBob so one day I put some of those court shows on ( Divorce Court, Family Court, Animal Court? Ha Ha fooled you). She promptly fell asleep ( ) and I have now taken to crocheting to the monotony <---( spelling?) when I do not have her ( I would hate to have the poor child in a court induced coma all day).
OH!!! And if you want a rather interesting program of peeps chasing ghosts with little to no technical jargon but some great cheese factor check out Ghost Adventurers ( I think that is it's title) on at frappe o clock in the morn on the Travel Channel. Me n my roomy had a hoot with THAT program!
"Okay demon! We're not leaving unless you harm one of us!!"
MINUTES LATER
"My back hurts! Ow. It buuurns! *edity edit*"
-Arguing between members about the camera and the back shot-
-Scratches appear on flesh-
LATER
"Why you gotta get my BACK! Why not my FACE! Hell get Aaron's face!
-Aaron the camera dude does NOT look pleased with THAT suggestion-
And yes it's for real. Not a spoof. Definately was a hoot.
mantracker is one of my vices when i get the chance to watch tv... man vs wild makes me laugh and so does that other guy survivor man, that guy is so stupid sometimes. But then I have military survival training and my parents wanted me to be able to survive in any environment so I spent a lot of time in my childhood traveling around to different geographical areas and taking month long survival courses in each possible area.
I hate jungles, and deserts, but everything else I don't mind...
Some times it pays to have parents that think there might be an end to the world...
There were a few other ones I use to like to watch but I haven't had cable in like 9 months so I can't even remember.
