I've been working from home since July '10...in doing so I get to catch shows like "Regis and Kelly", "The View", "Steven and Chris" etc....all those fancy Stay-At-Home Mom shows.
After a few months of watching shows with daily guests and interviews etc. I have developed a significant list of things I'd like to try, designs I'd like to decorate with, and people I'd like to meet or at least write a "thank you" card to (for being so wonderful that is).
Is it possible for day-time Made-For-Mom shows to actually better a person? I find myself wanting to say yes...well maybe not watching Joy Behr on the View, she actually makes me want to hunt and kill all loud mouth supposedly funny red heads, but on the whole- these seemingly useless and mundane shows have presented me with some points of view and ideas that The Young and the Restless, The Dog Whisperer, the new 90210, Gossip Girl and Bones have never been able to.....I've got new recipes to try, do it yourself home decor ideas....Specialists have brought to my attention that you should NOT tell your girlfriend if you think her boyfriend or whoever is cheating on her...????whaaaaa????? I've listened intently as nutrition specialists and health professionals teach me of all the alternative health care options and supplements etc. Oy!
Here's my short list of individuals I'd like to meet if given the opportunity:
Doctor Oz...he's cute and has so much spunk
Ricky Martin...a great role model everyone. So cute, well spoken, genuine....gag
Regis....Duh
Randy from "Say Yes to the Dress"
Snooki....so we could party
Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers....my QBs and maybe I could make out with them a little
Theresa from The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Chris and Steven from "Chris and Steven"
Harvey Levin from TMZ
AND Finally (short list here) the MANTRACKER!
Who are your top "to meet" peeps?
Have you learned anything from watching daytime television?
....Oh I've also learned that people who die or leave on the Young and the Restless, can be found on the Bold and the Beautiful.
