So, my wife came clean to me this past weekend about her newest guilty pleasure. Well… let me explain. Being in the military I work from 0700-1600(or 4pm for your civilians). So, my wonderful wife stays at home with our son (1-year old on Saturday). She uses Netflix to keep up with her guilty pleasures (along with Farmville Frontierville on facebook) and to give her some “mommy” time while Noah sleeps.
Occasionally, I approve of this guilty pleasure. Such as when she went through Weeds last year. Just a few months ago she worked her way through “The Hills”. It provided a few laughs and was only mildly annoying. Not to mention, while I was home I could some what keep up with what was going on.
This weekend she started the “Secret Life Of The American Teenager”… I extremely disapprove.
Not because of the content or anything so self-righteous as that. But, rather it has perhaps the worst acting and story line ever written. This can be a bright side normally. I mean I can think of a handful of other shows that I enjoy simply because it’s so lame (Buffy, Roswell, Alias and Dog Bites Man).
But, really this is too much. I even tried to take an interest in it. But really it amounted to Veronica Mars. If Veronica Mars wasn’t a part time PI, her dad wasn’t a PI and Veronica Mars got pregnant by Logan. Also the show has no Wallace. So besides all of that it’s … well it’s absolutely nothing like Veronica Mars but it’s high in drama and completely lacking in any entertainment quality.
So there is my little complaint for the day. BTW, my all-time favorite guilty pleasure is “The OC” … love it. Marissa, Ryan, Summer and my all time favorite Josh Schwartz character Seth Cohen (I know everyone loves Chuck Bartowski but I’ve never stay with the pop opinion).
Whats your guilty pleasure?
I am not one to watch reality shows, especially the reality gameshows. But, my guilty pleasure is one reality show that I used to watch and then stopped and have started watching again. The show is “American Chopper, Senior vs. Junior.” What a dysfunctional family and what a jerk the old man is.
I thought of one other guilty pleasure. When I was laid off a few years ago, I used to watch it fairly regularly. Now that I have started my own business, I do not get to watch it very much, but sometimes if I am home during the day, I do.
The show I am talking about is the Maury Povich show. The DNA tests where the woman says a particular man is the father of her baby are hilarious. About half the time, the male is the father and about half the time he isn’t. I like when the woman will say that he is the only man that she has ever slept with and then it turns out the guy isn’t that father.
I am ashamed for admitting this
Hey… it’s fun to chat about things non-baseball and sometimes these weird conversations come out. Don’t be ashamed!
I wasn’t “THAT” ashamed, just “that” ashamed if you understand what I mean.
We all need mindless entertainment every once in a while.
Real housewives of new jersey and Atlanta…
I tried watching that once. It resulted in me having less hope for my child’s future so I stopped.
