I'll take "endearing" over any other reaction I've gotten thus far! Thanks! Kids annoy me (so do both John and Kate!), so I can't give a pass for "adorable little children". On the other hand, I have always been entertained by people acting silly for my amusement. (Isn't the Hills the same thing, only with rich people? I think I know who some of them are. Haven't they reached the point where they not only take themselves way too seriously, but their show is pretty much scripted? I only know the most basic information about it. The only thing I am sure of is that they are rich kids.) Like I said, if I thought they were serious, I'd probably be disgusted. But I think they know they are silly, so I give them a pass. Plus, I like to pretend that I get a pass, since most everything I watch is relatively respectable. I figure that for every episode of Mad Men, I should be allowed one Jersey Shore. They will average out to be something like... I don't know. The Mentalist? That metaphor or whatever would have probably been helped by my actually watching more television. Imagine that! And ummm... let me stop now, otherwise I will get on a roll and end up closing this comment by posting a picture of a grown man who is famous basically for running around lifting his shirt up.
Ugh. The Hills is awful. It shouldn't have continued after Lauren left. Heidi and Spencer give me murderous urges! I can't believe these people even exist! This is why I stopped watching. And also, it got boring.
I heard they were replacing the entire Jersey Shore cast next season. What are your thoughts on this?
First off, I'd like to state how, even through all the years and the increasing crappiness of the show, your old-school Heroes icons never cease to make me laugh. LOL, Spencer and Heidi! I don't know anything about them, but I know everyone hates them! I sense that it stems from the fact that they seem to think that they are legitimate "superstars" when, in reality, they are just snot-nosed rich kids on a MTV reality show. I'm proud to say that I hate them too! A Jersey shore without Snooki, Pauly D and The Situation is a Jersey Shore I want no part of! I am already afraid that season two will not have the same "charm" season one had. They know that, collectively, they're a moneymaker (even though four of them are pretty much useless), and they've already done the whole salary negotiations thing, so the clock is definitely ticking. It's a sad eventuality, but I guess it will be fun while it lasts. So for now, I will just chose to remember and cherish the good times of season one (and hopefully two). DJ Pauly D and The Sitch (with shirts, 'cuz this post is classy!) thank you for your time. >
My old-school Heroes icons are the bestest. I get a little sick of them sometimes, but I have a hard time parting with them.
Heidi and Spencer are the most obnoxious, intolerable people you will ever see in your life. Hearing/reading the things they say drive me into a RAAAGE. I could stab them with scissors!
LOLOLOL. You're normally so ~respectable~, I love you being into something this trashy. It's really wonderful.
I don't care what you do, the "trapped in a toaster" and "swallow a knife" icons can never go. Those have now become essential parts of the LJ experience. (I also like LOL Mohinder and Interesting Beard!Nathan, but those two are secondary to the others.) LOL. The Hills was on last night when I was channel surfing during Survivor. I watched for a few seconds, but wherever it was there was not enough light. I just saw a blonde chick (surprise) and Brody. I am ashamed to admit that I know that his last name is Jenner and he's tied in with the Kardashians. I cannot explain my Jersey Shore love, so I just embrace it... possibly a bit too heartily. Perhaps all of my years of projecting an aura of ~respectability~ meant that there'd eventually be an inevitable trashy explosion. Like a shaken soda bottle... or gas. And this is the result. I did used to watch Flavor of Love, though. And I Love New York. But eventually they both got to be hot ghetto messes, and I longed for the good old days of seasons 1 and 2. Man, a post I made to share my excitement that I finally found that font from back in 2004 is turning into quite the list of possibly-regrettable confessions. This comment is no good at all. I should probably be ashamed. Sometimes shame's a good thing. You know, it keeps you from doing things in public that maybe you shouldn't. Then again, perhaps it's overrated. Who knows?
My computer was out of commission for three days, so here is a super-late reply! Excellent choice on the icons! I don't know what I'd do without them. They are as much a part of my LJ experience as messing up LJ cuts! FoL and ILNY were always ghetto messes, but the first seasons were not as bad. After a while it just got to be too much. You know how during the first season of a show, people don't really know what the deal is, so you get a relatively "normal" group of people? But then, after that, you get every camera whore who can read the online application? That's what happened. That's when it was upgraded from just a regular ghetto mess to a hot one. I look back fondly on the early days, but I can't watch anymore. You know what's starting at 9PM tonight? A replay of season one of Jersey Shore! I am soooooo there. I am sure The Situation will be even more "gentlemanly" regular-sized TV screen! I cannot wait.
I figure that for every episode of Mad Men, I should be allowed one Jersey Shore. They will average out to be something like... I don't know. The Mentalist? That metaphor or whatever would have probably been helped by my actually watching more television. Imagine that!
I think the analogy's pretty damn good. But IDK; perhaps something more like NCIS: Los Angeles. But it's definitely a CBS show; of that, I am certain.
LOL! I, no-lie, almost went with NCIS or CSI, but I wasn't sure where they fell on the Smart-Dumb TV scale. I know my mother watches them (and, what seems like everything else CBS airs.). But she's also reading Twilight, so...

Flavor of Love and I Love New York weren't always hot ghetto messes?!
Dear God! Button that shirt, young man! This is no proper way for a gentleman to behave in public.
