Laughing all the way thru the Banks

The second best thing about Tyra is that she has all these beliefs but doesn’t really understand why she believes them. The best thing about Tyra is that she has a talk show where she only has people on so she can espouse her beliefs about what ever is going on in their lives. I especially love when she believes her self to be a trained professional and goes all Dr. Phil on her patients – I mean guests – and doles out, in the most understanding concerned tone, highly judgmental ‘advice’. If you didn’t catch the episode where she had the Girls Gone Wild guy on I advise you to go out, buy a TiVO and tape the episode when it reruns so you can enjoy this battle of vapid egos over and over again!

Bravo… Bravo!

I usually hate the reunion episodes of reality shows. The ‘cast members’ usually spend the entire time talking about how they were misrepresented by producers or not them selves while the cameras were on. Bravo, however, has figured out how to avoid this reality show pitfall. It’s simple really, do the same thing people have been doing to solve their problems since the discovery of fermentation, get drunk. Or rather get the cast members drunk; then stick em in a bright room with each other and a couple of prodding proctors. The bright white room was a stroke of genius because it provides no place to hide. I would love to see a show that was a bunch of women ten years out of high school getting drunk and picking each other apart over how much they hated each other back in the day. It was so close to happening on the reunion show of the Real Housewives of the Orange County but Jo decided to cut back on her alcohol intake. Oh well.

Better living thru telemetry

This is only my fourth posting and so far the other three have all been directly about television. I’ve been in a sort of blog paralysis since coming to terms with this reality. When I get the urge to begin an entry on a different theme in another voice I fear breaking the cohesive tone this blog has taken on, yet I stop my self when I come up with a television inspired entry as I don’t want to be seen as the girl who only blogs about her TV related aggression. But maybe that’s who I really am. Maybe I need this forum to complain about how Blow Out has descended from the most honest and entertaining accounts of workplace cattiness to an hour-long infomercial for Jonathan Product interspersed with commercials for other products (I mean that fight with the package design guy was so staged!) So seeing as how I spend five hours of my day watching TV the medium will creep, if not lop down and stay way longer than it planed, in this blog… but after the exciting sweeps weeks of May have transpired don’t be taken completely off guard if an entry isn’t rooted in the high paced race for ratings (though I’m sure you won’t be surprised if I don’t stray from my muse in a box.) OK I’m off to watch the season finale of The Real Housewives Of The OC. I’m sure I’ll be back soon. P.S. I include the time I spend on line in my 5 hours of TV watching a day because the box is on during all of my trips on the web. Right now there is this show about Mike Boogie from Big Brother 2 opening his own restaurant. I can’t wait till summer. I luv Big Brother!
