That's right...something none of us what to talk about, something none of us want to admit to. That does not mean it is not a real problem in America.
Addiction...
Hello. My name is Suzi and I am addicted...to reality TV!
A few years ago when all of the reality shows first started, you would not have caught me dead watching one...what the %$#@ happened?
A few years back we barely even watched TV, sure we watched an occasional Desperate Housewives, maybe an Extreme Makeover Home Edition, a Two and a Half Men occasionally but really, that was it.
Now...what happened you ask? I wish I knew. It has gone downhill from there. We are addicts. We cannot help ourselves. We get behind on shows, our dvr is backed up with episodes of our favorite shows that there are not enough hours in the day to catch up on each of them. Our dvr is full, we are having to set it to "resolve by priority" what is the world coming to?
Now, instead of watching good ole sitcoms, it is "What time does The Bachelorette come on? What about Big Brother? America's Got Talent, Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Wipeout, Tori and Dean, Jon and Kate, 18 Kids and counting, Little People Big World, Extreme Makeover Home Edition (yes still), The Bachelor, Dating in the Dark. I think the ONLY reality TV show we do not watch, sit down my friends...is American Idol (I know, we are the only people in the US who do not watch that show. I am sure I am forgetting some...actually, yes...American Chopper, Ice Road Truckers, The Deadliest Catch, Survivorman, and something about the wild.
My friends, we need help! Did I mention that we still watch Desperate Housewives, (we have been sucked in to) Lost, Two and a Half Men and AFV. Good Lord! We really need help. Do they make pills for reality TV addicts? Is there a support group? Monthly meetings? Well, we could not participate in monthly meetings, what was I thinking? We might miss one of our shows!
We dvr so many reality TV shows that sometimes we miss the end of a show because the TV has to flip to another channel to pick up the beginning of another show that we absolutely must record or the world will end!
Addicted I tell you, addicted!
LOL...I like reality TV too but only watch a couple religiously and dvr. A lot of the discovery shows I end up catching on marathons later. Our DVR is usually full of golf and star trek....and you know that's not for me! :P
