TV HABITS, a metamorphisis.

Once upon a time I used to be hip, I used to watch all of the new sit-coms and mini-series on TV.  I was 'in the know' about the night-time dramas, I bonded with the players on RealityTV.  I watched American Idol, and I voted!  I knew all the answers to the puzzles on the Wheel of Fortune before the idiot contestants did.  I needed to know who shot Jr!

Things are different now.  I'm a SAHM (I really hate that acronym!) I can watch all the soap operas I want.  I can watch all the reality shows I want.  I can watch game shows, I can watch mini-series.  I can watch Oprah and Springer!

And what do I watch?  I watch the news.  I watch O'Reilly and Hannity & Combs.  I watch Emeril and Bobby Flay.  I watch... the Iron Chef!  I watch Queer Eye and Pimp My Ride.  But mostly I watch... the Discovery Channel!  Last night I even left my computer (gasp!) to watch 2 back to back episodes of The Deadliest Catch.

I don't know whats happened to me.  Its like letting a kid loose in a candy store but instead of grabbing candy, the kid looks for carrot sticks and granola bars.   Good golly, I know whats happening!  I'm turning into my PARENTS! (gasp heard round the www!)

ROTFLMAO!!!!  

What can I say other than I have been there and done that... Except with me it's the Animal Planet.. What is really sad, is the fact that I watch one episode of Austin Stevens Snake Master  and then when it comes back on several hours later I sit like I am stuck to the sofa watching intenly.. Like I heave never seen it before, I even gasp when I did during the first show... Talk about being a sick puppy... I am ashamed to admit this to anyone, but it seems like you have the same affliction.. lol...
Have a great day!

OMG. You need an intervention. You need to watch lots of Oprah, Springer, The Nanny and Fear Factor while you are watching these shows, you must eat bon bons and cheese cake.
Have a great day. R.C.

Dear God why is it that we all turn into our parents at some point or another ? I say watch some more Springer , Check out the latest rounds of Paternity tests on Maury , Take a bubble bath and if all else fails accept the unacceptable .  NOT! FIGHT IT FIGHT IT FIGHT IT! We are all Behind U

the deadliest catch is that fishing show right?  I missed the second episode, but did see the first...scary stuff...I don't like watching that kind of show because then  I think of my hubby out on the rough seas but he loves that show.  I go through phases with the news...I find if I watch too much of it, brings me down, so then go back to shows like Pimp my Ride (what a great show!) or fluff tv like 3s company.  ~  www.jerseygirljournal.com

I didn't realize the graphic at the bottem of your entry was an active link...took me right to info about the show, yes, that is the same show, hubby loves it, but it troubles me because he has the same job, different catch though.
