TV is a funny thing. I think that I can say that because I don't have cable and haven't had it since the beginning of Fall 2009 (August). Now I say this for a variety of reasons:
1. I (key word) wasted so much time sitting in front of a television watching TV.
2. To expensive.
3. Look at #1 and #2.
I DO NOT say this to convince you to cut-off your tv or your cable. Just something that i've noticed.
Okay so this is the progression of tonight's events.
My family decided to start watching the show:
Boy was it exciting! (truly, I laughed alot). Tonight's recap goes something like this, this guy (Jake):
and this girl (Vienna):
met on the Bachlorette (I think, not 100% sure)
They started dating on tv and then Jake proposed on the Bachlorette and then she got mad at him after they had been dating for 6 months or so and so she goes to the tabloids and accused him of "not being intimate" after the first month of them dating. So tonight's exciting episode consisted of them sitting down with one another and "discussing" their issues about why he wasn't being intimate and how she was disrespecting him (etc.). It was riveting. A whole hour centered around this!
[If you can't tell, I think the Bachelorette is stupid. (i know a lot of people disagree with me right now. I also know that a select few wise group of people might agree). The personal reason as to why I don't like it is because I believe that the corporate media has done to well of a job marketing what people like to see: people getting together and then documenting their break-ups. Irreverent babble].
Anyway back to my fun evening... After watching the Bachelorette we watched the classic:
We are talking about classic entertainment. Great plot. Great story. Great character development. Great message behind it all. And then you look at The Bachelorette... Needless to say it was an interesting dichotomy of great entertainment and poor entertainment that I got to witness tonight with the family.
