"Child Frozen in Time" on TLC @ 7pm. Here is the little blurb: "The story of Brooke Greenberg, the 16 year old who hasn't aged since she was 11 months old, baffling medical experts." Ok what?!?!?! So there is a 16 year old out there who still rides around in a stroller and eats in a highchair?!?!?!? I will most definitely be tuning in to see what this is all about. I am also currently resisting the urge to Google her and kill the suspense. Most likely, as is typical of many "trashy" shows, I will end up turning this off or watching something else. The TLC commentary can get a little old and I HATE it when they do dramatic reenactions...
"Tomb of 1,000 Roman Skeletons" on NatGeo @ 8pm. Apparently a tomb was discovered in 2006 that held 1,000 skeletons. Normally I wouldn't watch something like this, but I may tune into the end to hear the shocking conclusion (should there be one). My guess is that this show will be ALL about speculation - some "experts" will be interviewed and express their opinions on the matter, but in the end no one will ACTUALLY know why the skeletons are there.
"Top Chef Vegas" on Bravo @ 8pm. Missed this last week so I must definitely tune in. Like Project Runway, I find Top Chef to be vastly entertaining simply because the "characters" on the show are truly talented. I wish I could cook something more than pasta, curry, and chili.
"The Universe" on History @ 9pm. This week they are highlighting what the Earth would be like should the Moon not exist. My gut is that we would be dead if the moon didn't exist, but I may need to find out for sure by tuning in during the commercials of another show.
And now, just for kicks, a couple of shows I CANNOT stand:
"I Didn't Know I was Pregnant". Worst. Thing. Imaginable. Not only would this mean you are completely incapable of assessing your own weight, one day you would just randomly feel the most extreme pain EVER and have no preparation. Not to mention you could be anywhere. Typically the people on this show end up in gas station bathrooms or on the floor of McDonalds. I hate this show. It is so melodramatic - complete with D-list reenactors, in your face interviews, and medical gore.
"The Secret Life of the American Teenager." Probably the worst show on TV. I haven't actually seen a whole episode but DAMN does Molly Ringwald look bad/weird. I have no idea what the story line of this show is actually about but I think one of the kids had a baby. Who knows? It is like an overly dramatic, poorly acted, cheap version of 7th Heaven (and that was bad).
Anything with Paris Hilton, "New York", mud/jello, people eating gross things, or those "talent" shows where they only show 15 minutes of "talent," 30 minutes of commercials, 14 minutes of "suspenseful moments," and one minute to announce the winner/loser for the week (Top Chef and Project Runway are exempt from this category for obvious reasons).
And with that I am off to do some cleaning and settle in for the night. Viva la Tuesday!
I think we're on the same page. Although, as soon as I say this next sentence, I'm sure you'll hesitate to ever come near my blog again. Ya know what one I like that's REALLY REALLY embarrassing? Real Chance at Love (2 no less!) on VH1. They're such clowns and it's totally predictable and the same as every other show that VH1 produces but I've got a thing for it.
ReplyDeleteI also do not like those medical mystery shows where they have the dramatic re-enactments, then cut to the actual doctor that removed said object from said colon and the doctor looks nothing like the actor. That bugs me.
