I think I might be watching too much TV


Okay, I KNOW I'm watching too much TV.

I had dinner with a friend and her little girl last night, and I embarrassed myself by referencing Extreme Couponing and/or The Nanny no fewer than five times.

My excuse is that I just finished my script. (I'm unwinding before i start the next one...? Or making myself so stir crazy that I will have no choice but to start the next one??)

And plus H has been out of town for the past week.

But yeah, I've kind of gone off the deep end. THERE'S NOT EVEN ANYTHING GOOD ON.

    The Nanny is only okay after 11pm. And you must never tell anyone about it.

    Seriously, you've got to try 'Housewives'.

    (you *know* who this is)

    Those are way better guilty pleasures than mine... 16 & Pregnant? Teen Mom? The Secret Life of the American Teenager? Guess I can't get enough of those ill-fated prego youngsters. Yikes.

    Also I feel the exact same way about the Housewives. Can't stand it, don't understand the cult following they have, but absolutely loove Bethanny.

    Ha! I love Bethenny. My husband and I are in the midst of a major Breaking Bad marathon; the new season starts in July. Other guilty pleasures: The Bachelor/ette; Top Chef; (gah, OK, I'll admit it, dammit!) The Housewives. Sometimes my brain just needs to be turned off, and that's when I turn on the TV. xo.

    Bethenny is WAY above housewives. I'm also known to watch an hour of friends in the mornings. Especially when my husband is away.

    OK. i can see how housewives may not be for everyone. i'm totally down for bethanny, though... not sure she even deserves an anonymous comment.

    also, storage wars? SO GOOD.

    My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. It's mesmerizing, and there's so much more to it than you think.

    How about the classic bridezillas? Anybody like to watch that and think the groom has gone mad?

    you just described me ever since i graduated with my fabulous art history degree last month. thank god my internship is letting me stay (but can't hire me since the state pulled almost all their funding. oy) so at least i'm out of the house most of the week :)
    p.s. the housewives suck (though i did get pulled in by beverly hills) and i get upset each time i try to watch them. on bravo i like "million dollar decorator" because if nothing else, i have a new load of accents in my arsenal to pull out when i'm bored :)

    D and I both have brought up Extreme Couponing an inexcusable amount of times in recent conversations with people. I mean, it came up at a bar on Friday night and I thought - this is it - we are officially the dorkiest people ever. But it's kind of addictive.

    I watched 6 back to back episodes of the Millionaire Matchmaker on Friday, which may have been a new low.

    @Rachel omigod that makes me feel a KAJILLION times better.

    have you guys been, um, clipping coupons? is that question too personal?

    p.s. love the Millionaire Matchmaker.

    @ esb - Uh, wasn't going to mention that but we might have bought the Sunday paper two weeks in a row and LOOKED at coupons. So, kind of? I think we lack the drive (and the storage space) to ever really be good. Currently, the only effect the show has had is to make me super bitter about having to pay for toothpaste when we ran out last week.
