Reality, really?

I think I'm the only person I know who does not watch Reality TV. Really. I am just not that into it. But, with my hubby gone and my friends being media-whores, I have found myself watching a bit of it lately, and I have to say there are two shows that I am really psyched about:

Street Smarts vs. Book Smarts on The Apprentice
Brilliant! I can't wait for this show. I just know Street Smarts are gonna kick some Book Smarts ass! The Donald is going to have a field day with this. Oh, and I anticipate a lot of beeped f words this season! Fun!

Supernanny

I have to say, the first episode was hot. This show took me from wanting to get my tubes tied to the tick-tock of the biological clock in less than an hour. Last night proved that Supernanny Jo Frost is not only great with kids, she is fantastically understanding of people who have no parental instincts whatsoever. My girlfriends and I all agreed that we'd have been a lot less kind and generous toward someone afraid of their own 4 year old. It was so gratifying to see the family playing together at the end and hear those terribly bratty girls say, "I love you, Mommy."

I feel kinda trashy becoming a fan of these shows, but two shows isn't that bad, and really what else is there on TV these days? I still watch Comedy Central almost 24/7, so I figure it's not that bad if I branch out a little. But if you ever catch me raving about the last episode of Fear Factor, please, pull the plug. (On the TV. Not on me. Not that I'm hooked to a machine or anything, but I'd probably have to be on my last breath before I watched a man eat a cockroach.)

On a side note...

I am back at "the bank" today. It's good. They already offered me VP (of scouting for free lunch) but I turned them down because of my artistic integrity (and so as to not bolster my reputation as "the eater.") It's hard to get up at 7 o'clock every day, but it's even harder not to eat. Hmm... Maybe I will take that VP position after all...
