Maddie the Ghost Hunting Dog

I don't know how many people watch Ghost Hunters on Syfy, but I watch it every week.  Last night, Maddie the ghost hunting dog was introduced to the show.  I love Maddie the dog and would have actually enjoyed a little more time with Maddie. 

My concern is that other ghost hunting programs will now feel the need to add an animal.  I am worried that I am going to have to see the ghost hunting cat on Paranormal State and the ghost hunting hamster on Ghost Adventures.  My only hope is that the hamster will bite someone on Ghost Adventures.  I would tune in for that!

Kings of Leon

Do you own Kings of Leon's new CD Come Around Sundown?  If you do not, you are missing out.  I know it is tough getting off the couch sometimes, but you need to run to the store to get this CD.  If you download CDs, then download the whole CD.  It is amazing.  It is probably the best CD I've heard in about 10 years.  It has some awesome songs on it like Pyro, The End, and Birthday.  Go out and buy this CD now and you will not regret it! 

Come Around Sundown is one of those CDs you can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a song.  That is rare find with today's music.  I predict this will be a classic that everyone will own.

The Real World - Then and Now

The Real World is now in its 25th season.  Why does this show still exist?  I can't believe it.  I don't have any interest in seeing college aged people (who are not in college) acting foolish anymore.  Well, unless it's the Jersey Shore, but that is another story. 

I miss the first Real World.  Way back in the day, about 20 years ago, there was a group of people who had ambition and most of them had jobs!  Each episode was about how these creative and exciting people related to each other.  I even remember their names: Julie, Heather, Becky, Andre, Kevin, Norman, and Eric.  Where are they now?  Can we see a reunion special for them?  Now that is a Real World I would watch.

My Great Reality Show / Two and a Half Men Idea

News just in!  Charlie Sheen has been fired from Two and a Half Men.  So that leaves us with the question: who will replace him?  I have the perfect idea!

CBS should start a new reality show called, "Who Wants to Replace Charlie Sheen?"  They can go from city to city auditioning Charlie wannabes.  Even better, there could be 3 judges just like in American Idol.  My vote for judges would be Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and Jon Cryer (since he'd be working with the replacement).  It would be the perfect way to cash in on a bad situation!

Seriously, if anyone is reading this blog from CBS, people would watch this show!  It's a win-win situation.  You would get 2 hit shows out of the deal.  Who wouldn't watch Two and a Half Men after a reality show like that?  I don't even watch the show now, but I would start watching it after finding a replacement like that.  Give it a chance, CBS!

Dysfunctional Teen Mom 2

I am noticing this season's Teen Mom is full of moms that are way more dysfunctional than the original Teen Mom girls.  I actually feel sorry for these mothers.  Jenelle does not even have custody of her kid.  Kailyn does not have a place to live half the time.  For that matter, neither does Jenelle.  One of Leah's daughters is seriously ill.  I can't even watch this show anymore!  It is too depressing.

If MTV's goal was to mortify teenagers so they will never become pregnant, good job MTV!  Those girls are so miserable I am sure no one watching the show wants to get pregnant now, even adults.  In a world that is so over-populated, MTV is helping solve that problem.  Thanks, MTV!

Add a Little Broccoli to That!

Since I am trying to eat healthier while watching crap on TV, I have a recommendation for anyone attempting to do the same.  I say you can add a little broccoli to anything.  Are you eating Spaghettios?  Add some broccoli.  Are you eating chips and dips?  Start dipping some broccoli in that dip. 

I have another idea for you.  If you bake muffins or bread, you can add broccoli to that.  Of course, if you are baking blueberry muffins, you are not going to add veggies to that.  That would be gross and scary.  What you can do is add broccoli to cornbread muffins.  If you are starting muffins from scratch, you can add cheese and broccoli.  Trust me, I've done this a lot and it is always delicious.  A little smelly perhaps, but always delicious.  So if you are baking, give it a try next time.  You will hardly know you are eating healthier.

The Jersey Shore Poop Saga

Why, oh why, is every episode about poop now on the Jersey Shore?  For 3 weeks, the audience has been forced to follow the ongoing battle between the roommates and the stopped toilet.

First, we were subjected to Deena's constipation issues, Ronnie crying in the work bathroom while Snooki had to go, and then Vinnie not being able to use the bathroom because of the stopped toilet.  You would think one full episode full of potty discussions would be enough.  Apparently, it was not.

The next week we got to see Vinnie struggle while trying to unplug the toilet. Of course, he was unsuccessful.  For some reason, this did not resolve itself in that episode.  Nope.  So there had to be a third episode about the clogged toilet.

This past week's episode, we got to see two plumbers come in and fish a shirt out of the toilet. All along, a shirt had been plugging the toilet.  I know what you are thinking - riveting television!  I know.  Where would we be without it?  Of course, leave it me, I sat and watched all of it.  So not only do I not understand why we needed three poo themed episodes, I am not entirely sure why I watched it.  I will have to give that some thought.

First Blog Ever!



I have never really blogged before, so if you are reading this, thanks.  Your bravery is much appreciated.  Apparently, I know a lot about crappy television.  I am not talking about the TV people watch when they want to increase their knowledge or expand their mind.  I am talking about the TV that no one admits to watching.  That is my area of expertise. 

Don't get me wrong.  I am not the type that follows every little piece of celebrity gossip.  I love Twilight, but I totally do not care what Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart did last weekend.  I do, however, care if the cast of Jersey Shore is going to Italy.  

Also, I care about food.  As a couch potato, I have to eat something while I am watching horrible television programs.  I obsess over food.  I love food.  I especially love junk food, but I am trying to cut back.  I will tell you something - a salad sure doesn't taste as great as chips when I am watching episodes of Teen Mom.
