I'm Sick In the Head

I like crap tv... I'll admit it openly these days, mostly because I cannot hide it any longer.

If you had asked me two years ago what I watched on tv, my patent response would be, "Oh, I don't really watch much tv. There's an occasional home improvement show (even though I don't have a home, or any desire to improve my apartment), but that's all."

But now, oh wow, can I spend some time with some crap-a-licious shit. I try to justify it with the fact that I work at home and often will watch crap reruns while working. It's a nice way to while away the many minutes my computer spends thinking about saving, moving, rendering, etc.

Should have seen trouble coming when defending the validity of Project Runway to my non-crap-tv-watching boyfriend, who is utterly appalled and now resigned to accepting my tv watching habits. His most horrifying moment was when I came home yesterday with a DVD recorder to replace our broken VCR, in order to record So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) and watch it with some other sick friends. He hid his disgust quite well.

My crap repitoire:
*Project Runway (season premiere tonight... oh yeah)
*SYTYCD
*American Idol
Hulk Hogan's Show (whatever the hell it's called, it really doesn't matter)
Run's House
Super Group
Making the Band III
All the stupid MTV date shows
Road Rules/Real Word Challenge (and the new Fresh Meat)
(* shows that I have, at one time or another, watched on a regular basis)

No doubt I'm missing a few.

I have steered pretty clear of the Survivor-type shows, but I seen a few episodes of it, as well as The Great Race, and Fear Factor. For some reason they don't hold my attention. Fear Factor has got to be the worst, that dude from News Radio is so annoying, and the contestants... well, how can I possibly get involved if I never really get to know any of their personalities? Who do I love? Who do I hate? These are very important issues when watching the crap.

I blame all this on watching too many MTV videos when I was going through puberty. There are still MTV videos, right? If so - I should probably be recording them.
