I am addicted to mindless TV. Ashamed, I know. Highly educated woman who loves Lifetime movies, Gossip Girl, and Grey's! It's the pointless plots, the cheesy script the idiotic twists & turns! I love it! Its mindless, simple, no stress all rolled into a neat 30 or 60 minute package.
It's my escape, my diversion from life. I can become a NYC socialite or a a trashy romance thriller all from the comfort of my home. Yes, ladies, I just love me some "crap" tv as D calls it.
For instance, GG: yes I know how teen, how stupid, but then when SPOILER ALERT Dan gets the call from Georgina and says he is "writing the Serena chapter" I was hooked for another week! I mean come on, how can you not want to see what Lonely Boy has up his devious sleeve.
And let's take Two Broke Girls; Lord I love it! Its crude,obvious humor, but man it just takes away the stress. At no point do I feel the need to write an MSJ or object to anything. Its just funny good stuff going on. Now it does get me that Caroline has IMHO awful hair. Lord get get of the bangs! Max: she is just the person I think I am sometimes, blunt, brutal, honest to a fault.
And I know this is not current, but Friends. Ya know, I can come up with an episode for almost every situation in life. Like last night, the infamous Monica describing the 7 pleasure spots of a woman to Chandler, I can quote it to a T and fit the moment of the convo (yes I know I had a conversation about the g-spot with a friend, a guy no less).
Well, ya get my point. I work long hours, I am stressed to the max, but I am not beneath mindless chatter to relax (or a good glass of champagne and a massage, if anyone wants to send me those!).
Happy TV all!
2BG is a great show. I stopped watching but I clearly need to start again. Caroline does have bad hair haha. My mindless tv show is New Girl or The League. I love football and I play fantasy so the League is hilarious to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya all the way! I love just escaping in a TV show, regardless of how ridiculous it may seem to anyone else. I will sit and watch FRIENDS for hours, can't help it... A thinks I'm crazy but it's the TV shows that sometimes just keep me sane LOL
ReplyDeleteI watch GG too, it's ridiculous. I can't stop. That's deifnite crap tv... but I don't care!
ReplyDeleteAnd 2 Broke Girls is just hilarious, even my boyfriend likes watching that one with me (compared to GG, Hart of Dixie, Teen Mom...)
I watch Friends every evening when I get home from work - usually while making dinner. I think I've seen almost every episode, but I absolutely don't mind seeing them again. And again. And again. I'm also really terrible about getting sucked into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - their drama always intrigues me. And, I won't lie, I can watch some serious Lifetime Christmas movies, the cheesier the better. I only wish we had the Hallmark channel because their cheesy movies are on 24/7!
ReplyDeleteI also love mindless TV, most of the things I watch are only for entertainment purposes and to "get away"

Ahh, I totally agree on Gossip Girl! What is Dan up to? As much as I love to hate Serena she really does try to fix her life.

Hey! I found you through Kelly's "messy dirty hair" blog & I have to say, I'm glad I did! Your posts have made me laugh and this post makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who watches cheesy, mindless tv. There are so many times when I'm like, "Am I really watching this?!" It's my guilty pleasure, I guess you'd say. Anyway, I look forward to following you!
