Shows I Watch But Rarely Talk About:
I read my dear friend Missie's Blog as she so bravely admitted she watched American Idol... she came out with it...
It got me thinking... what shows do I watch that I might not broadcast to the whole world, but hey, I like them.
So let's think.
1. Wildfire: It's on ABC Family. It's a show about a troubled teen who found a troubled horse and they went on to horse racing victory. It has the love triangle, the surrogate mother/father aspect, family issues, abuse issues, you name it, this show has it. And you know what? I love it!
2. Sex and the City: I love this show. Yes it's crass and definitely shouldn't be watched by the younger generation, but over the 6 seasons, I found myself thinking that Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda were real and I was truly watching their lives. When it ended with American Girl in Paris... I cried, and cried. When she broke Aiden's heart... I cried and cried... yet I knew it was for the best. Her one true love was Mr. Big... now there is a movie coming out next month and I couldn't be happier! So yes. I love SATC!
3. Lipstick Jungle: Just came out and is written by the writer of SATC. I was a little questionable when it first came on, but I love it! I really hope they re-up it for another season. The finale is tomorrow. But it definitely has a SATC vibe, just the women are more ferocious!
4. Project Runway: Speaking of ferocious, I love project runway and I unashamedly love Christian and was happy he won... although I do think Jillian's line was more wearable.
5. The Real Housewives of Orange County: yes it's dumb, so freakin' dumb, but I watch it week in and week out. Now they have the Real Housewives of New York and it's even more stupid... but yes, I'll keep watching it.
6. The Girls Next Door: Yes, so trashy. But kind of interesting. Note: do not rent these on DVD as there is a lot more "revealing" things shown...
7. Judge Mathis: I'm a sucker for some reality court tv shows... what can I say? I also like People's Court and Judge Judy.
8. Snapped: It's this crime documentary show on Oxygen about women who SNAP and kill their husbands/boyfriends. They also just came out with Captured about women who go to all ends to see their attackers captured. Then we open up to American Justice, the First 48, Forensic Files... oh Lordy.
9. Big Love: That is such a great show... a story about a polygamist and his wives... oh the drama! But I don't have HBO anymore so I have to rent the series.
I'm sure there are more, as I watch entirely too much tv for someone to still be considered healthy... but hey! What do you do! :)
So what shows do you watch???

I also love SATC and Lipstick Jungle. I used to be a closet Desperate Housewives fan, but I just got bored. However, I do watch SATC on regular tv because I am really not interested in seeing naked people.
I watch Survivor and Celebrity Apprentice, Mission Organization, AI, What you get for the Money, oh and I loved Flippin Out when it was on and Top Chef! I refuse to watch any of the primetime dramas for fear I will get sucked in!
i wish my guilt laid ended at american idol, but boy do i have a a few skeletons in the closet, some, by the way, i'm not ashamed about. sex and the city: check. project runway: check, check, and check. i love fashion. celebrity apprentice: oh yes, check. and when i had cable: dr.90210.
there, i feel free and liberated!!
I have totally failed as a mother! Those shows are terrible! Just stick with American Idol, House, and Friday Night Lights. That should be enough drama for ya. Did you ever watch October Road?
I love you.
Beauty and the Geek! i'm kind of bummed about this season though because it's beauties vs. geeks instead of beauty/geek teams. it's still hilarious though. LOVE IT!
I love The Real Housewives too! It's addicting watching other people's lives. My degree is in Psychology so I "justify" watching it by saying that I'm observing social behavior. Ha!
hellz yes i watch SATC, project runway (fierce!), top chef, LOST, the office, what not to wear, almost anything (and i mean anything) on the style channel, and i am forced to watch family guy when my husband is home (and i secretly enjoy it). i can't justify it, i just do it.
