I typically don’t watch much tv. As a rule, we’ll watch TCM (Turner Classic Movies) or dvd’s. My favorite night is Thursday. I watch CBS all night. It all starts with “Survivor” and then it’s time for “CSI”. “Without A Trace” comes on after that. There’s other shows that we watch throughout the week. We don’t care if we miss them though.
Lately, we’ve found ourselves watching “smut tv”. We’ll watch shows on Mtv like “My Super Sweet 16”, “Punk’d”, “Cribs”, “Parental Control” and “Confessions of a Teen Idol”. We just can’t help ourselves. I mean have you ever seen how spoiled rotten those kids are on “My Super Sweet 16”. Crazy doesn’t even describe it. I just know that I’d be whipping some butt!! On “Parental Control”, these people truly date losers and their parents try to match them up with someone better. It usually fails, but they try. What amazes me is the total lack of respect the boyfriend/girlfriend has for the family. How can they even think of bringing that into their homes?? Again, some more butt whipping is in order!!
We’ll watch shows like “Clean House”. WOW!! I can’t believe those people aren’t ashamed to be on tv. We fall back on channels like “Food Network”. It’s pretty funny the stuff we find ourselves watching. I think part of the attraction to Mtv is that those people are all screwed up!! And this is the network that played nothing but music videos when we were young. Put it on and all day long you could rock to your faves!!
Oh where have the good days of tv gone?? Do you remember “Little House on the Prairie” or “The Waltons”?? Oh for the Golden Days of tv!!
Watch “Super Nanny” for a real good hoot! Those kids are just awful and those parents don’t know what to do.
Oh man!! Those shows are wild!! We’ve caught a few of the old (repeated on another channel) episodes of “Wife Swap” too. They’re crazy!! Nobody could come in my house and change things and I’m sure not taking on someone else’s crappy life!! LOL
Hey Elaine.
I know what you mean. I even miss I Love Lucy.
These shows on MTV are out of control. Of course my having a teen male in the house means I am on constant TV control.
I hate the MTV and VH1. They are definitely the worst. Main stream TV is getting just as bad though and during the daytime. Do you ever watch some of the daytime talk shows? Sheesh!
We pretty much stick to Disney and Nickleodeon.
