TV is My Crack and I’m OK with that.

This has to be one of the best quotes Ragan Fox used in his podcast “Fox in the City.” Yeah, I’m plugging him again, that’s because he’s so damn funny. The boy just cracks me up. The more I listen the more I think the boy deserves his own TV show like the Daily show. Maybe we can call it the Gayly Show, and have it on Logo or something. Just an idea… But I am a reality show fan, I don’t watch them all but I get into Survivor, Martha Stewart Apprentice, My Life on the D List, Family Plots, Tuckerville, Simple Life and American Idol (but only in the beginning when it’s bad). So you see I’m hooked on some mighty powerful crack. I know I can hear what you’re saying now. You can’t be serious, you really watch (Insert show). And I answer yes I do.

Ok I say this, the title because I’m watching the crack family. Yes and I do mean “Being Bobby Brown” the Christmas episode. OMG, do you need any further evidence most of America thinks this family is on crack? I think not, in the words of Kathy Griffin, allegedly.. we have no proof but we can add up 1+1=2. Can’t we? I knew we could. This should be the most dysfunctional family Christmas. And I have one question about this show, ok, he’s got the older kids, the one with Whitney, where in the world does the boy come into the picture, who appears to be younger then his daughter? HMMM kinda makes you wonder. But I used to feel sorry for Whitney, and always thought she married down, well after this show, I feel sorry for Bobby, having to put up with her and her attitude. Makes you want to have a sign saying Check your Attitude at the Door. Where is Kathy Griffin when you need her? OMG I really have to get my stand up routine going. This show is too rich with material. It’s kind of like watching new lottery winners spend money. You know what I mean, they buy gold plated toilets and just tacky stuff. They will spend it on anything that makes them look cool and hip. This is just the equivalent of the reality show train wreck.

One show that Thomas has gotten me into is Project Runway. Yes I admit I watch it from time to time. I’m not hooked on it but the end part is what I like best. Where they have the top and bottom three and they open laugh and roll their eyes at what the judges say about the garment they created that week. I mean, yeah I’m thinking it and you’ve always wanted to see a show where they get to make fun of the other person. Well this is it, I crack up all the time. Plus I love to hear what they were going for and explain their work. Sometimes I’m like what are you thinking? But we shall see where that goes.

This leads me to the reason we have all the reality shows. Yes and I’m talking Survivor. Which I love, some seasons are good others are ok, this past one was ok but not the worst so far. I loved the fact no one stayed loyal to anyone, now that is Survivor. My main problem with Survivor is the contestants. Well they go on it, knowing they can win a million bucks. Well as it goes along people get stabbed in the back, and used. Then they get all upset when they get voted off or used. They speak of them using their friendship and such, well HELLO, this is a game to win a million bucks, yeah I’d sell you up the river too for that amount and no food and bad sleep, oh it’s on, I’m out to get rid of everyone. I have a theory how to win Survivor and it is… HEHEHE you didn’t think I would tell you, I’m going to apply to be on the show and see how well it works. Watch me be voted off the first tribal council. Hey but you get $2.000 bucks and a 30 day free vacation, so what’s not to love about that.

But Reality shows are one area of TV crack that I like. Maybe soon I’ll write about other areas of tv that occupies my time but none of them are as entertaining as Reality TV. And I didn’t even touch on the Simple Life, dear god that’s a whole other posting. Well happy TV viewing.
