You may have noticed the name of my mini-blog is This Week IN TV, not this week ON TV. And there’s a good reason for the grammatical switch of phrase.
Television is a pop culture monster in of itself, an entire realm that one can talk for hours about. And everyone likes their own mix of the shows and personalities that it features. There in lies the beauty of TV, there’s so much offered and one can pick and choose as to what is right for them.
So let’s get down to it:
When it comes to reality TV, I have an immense love-hate relationship with the popular genre: I think it’s the dumbest form of entertainment in the history of the world.
However, if I am extremely ill, or if I have nothing else to do, or if I I see that there’s a 12 hour marathon of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills followed by another 12 hours of Beverly Hills housewife Lisa Vanderpump’s spinoff Vanderpump Rules, I’m likely going to sit down and watch attentively as I waste a day of my life. (And, full disclosure, I absolutely love the Kardashians and their show. You can hate me. I know. I’ll get over it.)
