A guilty pleasure

Kev and I fell victim to really bad reality TV the other night and I just couldn't get over what one of the "stars" said regarding her life:

"I wake up, and my kid is already in daycare, so what is there to do for eight hours?"

So... she spends her day in her parents' spa getting free treatments, she goes shopping, she sits around...

WHY DOESN'T SHE TAKE CARE OF HER KID FOR EIGHT HOURS?

Oh man. Even though it was mind boggling how she could be so clueless, neither one of us could turn the show off. I think it's a new favorite. At least when nothing else is on (yeah right).

Community

I'm in love with this show. Sometimes "The Soup" really bugged me. I didn't like watching it. But Community proves that I don't hate Joel McHale. I just kind of hate "The Soup."

Out of the Wild; The Alaska Experiment

Kev and I love this show. It airs Tuesday nights on the Discovery Channel at 10pm E/P. We watch the free reruns on demand on Sundays.

First of all, most of the participants are originally east coasters. That means they have accents. I love their accents. It reminds me of home.

Secondly, I get so wrapped up in their plight to trek across Alaska in search of what may end up being a completely dilapidated shelter with no food or a place to sleep away from the elements. I love getting that involved in a show.

It's heart-wrenching to watch them share a field mouse between 7 people. And they're always so cold. I feel so badly for them.

The show also gets bonus points for not being a typical "reality" drama. It feels pretty real, so even if it's 100% staged they're doing a great job.

I think it's taking a short hiatus right now, but when it's back I'm looking forward to seeing how they do at their next shelter. Check it out!

I really hate the theme song but that's what fast-forward is for

I couldn't stand this show when it was on TV, but now that I own all the seasons, I love it.

I don't really know how to explain that.
