Reality TV

Television today fascinates me. As a child, my favorite shows were Punky Brewster, Alf, Full House, Cosby, Growing Pains, etc. In my mid teens, I watched Dawson's Creek, Felicity, Real World, Road Rules, and of course 90210. In my late teens and early 20s I was obsessed with Friends and I watched all of my high school/college comfort shows go off the air. Now we have the era of reality tv and as much as I have tried to stay away from the network realities, I am slowly becoming addicted. I have always been a fan of the mtv reality shows: real world, road rules, laguna beach, newlyweds, and most recently the hills. I have never really gotten into survivor or the amazing race, but somehow I find myself addicted to dancing with the stars (eventhough this season is relatively sucky). I was sooo excited last night when Drew Lachey showed up on dancing with the stars; I know I'm pathetic! I find myself wondering what Delaney and Alison will claim as their favorite shows of childhood...will I have to pull out dvd versions of my childhood favorites because of a lack of appropriate programming??

On another note, Opening day was lots of fun. It was great spending some grown up time alone with Carl. I'm actually not sure the last time we've spent that type of time together (except driving to a from places). The game was wonderful eventhough it was a bit cold.... I'm hoping to go again next year, I guess we'll have to see!
