Short Television Weekend
Since I was in Aptos this weekend I wasn't able to yet O.D. on bad television, but here is the small recap of what I did see: The Simple Life: I truly hated this show when it was first on, and it's one of the reasons I shut the damn television off. Because like a true TV Junkie, I could not stop watching it even though it raised my bloodpressure and made me want to throw heavy things at the screen. But I tried it again this weekend anyway, watching ONE episode of one of the newer seasons. And while Paris and Nicole weren't as maddenly irresponsible and immature as they were before, the sheer obvious set up of some scenes was. I mean, it can't be "reality TV" if a camera just happened to be waiting outside on the dark abandoned dirt road when they have to bring the truck to a screeching stop because there's a moth in the cab. I mean, this was an obviously set up shot, and if that was, then what of everything else? At least this long break away will allow me to avoid this show from now on. The Real Wives of the OC: I wasn't really impressed. I'll watch it again, because it wasn't as horrible as some things I've already seen, but watching spoiled, whiny, not-great mothers try to find ways to entertain themselves while not really taking care of their kids and then doing the Wives & Mothers Go Wild thing on their "girls only" cruises and trips to Mexico... I'm sorry, that's just not my thing. Hogan Knows Best: See The Simple Life, above. Set-up conflicts and scenes. Not my thing. Tuckerville: I saw this accidentally while at Scott's house, and while Tanya Tucker doesn't interest me enough to watch it again, I did enjoy it. She was likeable, her kids weren't totally UNlikeable, and she reminded me of me as a mother - Although I only watched one episode, so please don't crucify me if she's actually a horrible mother, heh. But if you're into Tanya Tucker, again, I've seen worse shows. America's Next Top Model (Season 2): WOOOO, I love my dvr that just records everything I like, especially past seasons of shows I never got to see. I got to come home from Aptos last night and watch the entire second season (except for the first couple episodes) which was all recorded and waiting for me. This is the season with Yoanna, and the one where all contestants were a thousand times prettier than anyone on this current season. So NoTorious: Okay, I never liked Tori Spelling. I never even liked her on the half season of 90210 that I watched oh so long ago. Just, never. However, you have to a tiny bit love a girl who can make such fun of herself and her family. And while I don't think this was the best show ever, it was humorous, and I am all about being able to laugh at yourself. So Tori is a good egg in my book. And then I had to go to bed. Siiiighhhh....
