Did you know?

Television is addicting. I love watching television but I often refrain from writing about it because it's only of entertainment value and there's really nothing to write about. For this fall season my repertoire of programs to watch include: ANTM, The Tudors, Heroes, CSI, Project Runway Canada, and to a lesser extent Dancing with the Stars.

I must clarify, however, Dancing with the Stars is strictly my sister's show. I only watch it when she's watching it. Reasons why I would never claim this to be my show are: 1. It's too cheesy; 2. The results show cuts into my Tudors, and made me miss crucial moments in Henry VIII's court.

ANTM used to be exciting; one or two girls may be the oddballs out (ie. not conventionally beautiful) but this season, they all look like mall rats. You have to smack so much make up on them to make them look somewhat like a model. I look at the lot of them and I want to cringe. And every time Twiggy says, "The camera loves you." it makes me puke a little in my mouth. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully after the makeover (haircuts; who knew a different coif would change a person so much?) they'll look like they are on their way to become America's Next Top Model.

Even though I claim Heroes and CSI to be part of my repertoire, but really, since they started I've only watched 1 episode of Heroes and none of CSI. I even missed the ending to the Model Killer, and that made me mad. No amount of recap can make up for the real thing. I want my CSI! Heroes is getting way exciting, except for the part that Hiro's hero, Kakezo Tensei, turns out to be a white dude. I'm sorry but no, it just doesn't work that way.

Project Runway has been one of my favorite shows. I love love love Chloe and Daniel V from the second season; they made truly fantastic garments and I love their talents, everything. The third season was more drama less talent. But after watching a third season marathon, I'm beginning to like Jeffrey more. He was such a jerk when I first watched, but now he's alright. His aesthetic is definitely different and exciting. Project Runway Canada, however, seems to lean most of its weight on Iman, the host. The Who? for their mentor, however, is a big disappointment (seriously, I can't remember his name). He is no match for Tim Gunn, and every time I see him I just want to shave him. Still, pretty dramatic for a first episode. Not much going on yet but I'll keep watching.

I watch the odd Top Chef episodes here and there. I figured out why I don't like watching it so much is because: 1. There's no cute guy like last season; 2. I want to see beautiful food, not semi-good food that gets torn apart by the judges because the taste was forgetful. Bleh.

I watch TV and do nothing, and I love it.
