I don’t watch bad tv. I mean, I don’t watch what is usually considered bad television, I think. I don’t do any reality tv – at all – the last reality show I watched was I Love New York and how many years ago was that? Many years ago. Like before my kids could speak in complete sentences.
I don’t want much comedy because I’m of the opinion that most of it sucks. I stick with drama and I’m picky about what networks I’ll watch my dramas on – because of my stuffiness with networks, I missed out on the treasure that is Supernatural for these past few years and I feel like I’ve not lived because I just watched all 4 1/2 seasons in the span of a week – oh yes I did, 5 years of a show in ONE WEEK because I was that in love.
I just finished listening to my boyfriend and his best friend’s podcast, and he had my lovely love Miss on as a guest this week. And she totally shot down Jersey Shore and said I was going to get her for it. I will not. I totally understand. I hate how people watch these shitty shows and keep them on the air. I’m like, ugh, this is why GOOD shows get canceled – because you dumbfucks watch these crappy reality programs because you’re IDIOTS. You assholes and your stupid scripted reality have cost me Pushing Daises, Journeyman, and a slew of other stellar programs. And why the fuck doesn’t MTV play music videos anymore?!
It pisses my guts, I swear.
BUT
I love Jersey Shore. Okay? Okay.
I didn’t start watching Jersey Shore until 4 episodes in. I could not get rid of it, it was everywhere, so I tweeted about it, asking if I should check it out. The response was overwhelmingly YES. So I did. And OhmygodYES.
It’s amazing. It’s just amazing. The fact that these people exist, in real life, and these things happen, and these situations – and The Situation – are real, are actually real, it’s breathtaking. I’m allowed to have a guilty pleasure. This is it.
Jersey Shore is amazing. It’s as simple as that. I’m ready for Season Two.
P.S. I’m with Conan. See you in September, buddy.
P.P.S. There’s a photo of me in my underwear on BlogHer. Who’s RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!

LOL ok ok you are the only one who gets a pass for this god awful show.
I’m with you girl. I hate to admit it but I love Jersey Shore. I was on board even before it was one! They’re almost like cartoons like you can’t believe people like this exist in real life! Its junk food for the senses. I love it. You’re not alone. :)
It truly is spectacular TV. I don’t watch the network reality, because I am with you, those should be for real programming. I sincerely miss the days of watching Who’s The Boss with my family and The Cosby Show. Now Bravo and MTV reality….those are okay. But MTV got away with not showing videos when they branched and bought MTV2, MTV Jams, MTV Hits and the latest and greatest MTV U.
I love love love that show and I won’t even watch most crappy stuff on TV. I have no idea why but it just fascinates me, especially The Situation and Snookie, who are huge trainwrecks!
I, too, watch that show. It’s like watching a train wreck with too much makeup, tanning and hair gel. What’s not to love about it?!!
Haven’t seen it, but am ENTIRELY SURE I would love it. I had to get rid of cable because I wasn’t disciplined enough to keep my daughter from watching too much of it.
I watch Jersey Shore like it’s my fucking job.
Never seen it, so I can’t weigh in there. But loved Pushing Daisies. The quirkier the better for me.
I am completely with you on this one! I boycotted MTV for a long time because they stopped playing music videos and then I saw Jersey Shore and got hooked…
I can’t believe you JUST started watching Supernatural. That is the one show I can say that I’ve watched every single episode of on live TV. I love it! Especially Dean.
And I also love Jersey Shore. Those people are insanely dumb but so fun to watch. Who knew there were people out there like that.
P.S. I think you look hott in your undies. And take that from a REAL big girl. ;)
I’d totally have a situation with The Situation. And by situation, I mean sex. Dude could get it… twice.
I only first heard about this show a couple of weeks ago. Ugh. That’s really all I can say about that. I want Pushing Daisies back.
I’d gladly throw the cast of the Jersey Shore under the bus if it would bring back Pushing Daises.
I recently dove into the hot mess that is Jersey Shores. It is now my secret addiction…..
