Mind Rot: TV Shows I’m slightly ashamed to admit I watch

Super Nanny (ABC)

Ok, explanation. I have a child. The Nanny has some bright ideas. And besides, I’m comforted by the fact that there are MUCH worse parents out there than me.

90210 – the new edition. (The CW)

I know, I know. But I have to give Brandon and Brenda another chance.

One Tree Hill (The CW)

Ok. Stop mocking me. It’s a big deal that I’m admitting to watching these. I even got old seasons from Netflix. I KNOW. I lost brain cells.

The Bachelorette (ABC)

DeAnna. What can I say about DeAnna?

WHY????????

WHY!!!!!!!

Oh WHY, Did you NOT pick Jason???????

America’s Next Top Model (The CW)

Tyra Banks gets crazier and crazier as each season goes by. And when is the fat girl going to win? Oh yeah, she did. Phew! I can stop watching now.

No, seriously, when you turn the marathons of ANTM on on VH1 or MTV or any channel… YOU. CAN’T. STOP. WATCHING!!!

Gossip Girl (The CW)

I read the book and the characters in the book seemed vapid so I did not expect much better when I watch the show. Ok, so the characters on the TV show are also vapid, HOWEVER, they do appear to have more depth – though how much depth can characters in a soap opera about teenagers have? I have really gotten caught up with the lives of Serena and Dan and Blaire and yes, even scummy old Chuck.

Workout (Bravo)

It’s the Lesbian thing.

The L Word

And now if someone could tell me where all the HOT lesbians in Chicago live…
