April TV

I realize April is almost over, but I still have 3 or 4 days to sneak this in. This won't come as a surprise to many of you, but I love tv. My favorite shows are reality shows, even though they're usually far from any reality I live in, but that doesn't stop me.

To recap the month of April...

Shows that ended in April:
'Shear Genius' (Bravo) 3rd season finale - I was mad that Brig won
'Melrose Place' (The CW) 1st season finale - Yes....I watch the new one
'Millionaire Matchmaker' (Bravo) 3rd season finale - Gotta love Patti
'Ugly Betty' (ABC) series finale - SO SAD to see the end of this show happen
'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution' (ABC) 1st season finale - Very inspiring

Shows that started in April:
'Intervention' (A&E) 8th season mid-season premiere - Some people find this show depressing but I think it's amazing, especially when people stay clean
'Glee' (FOX) 1st season mid-season premiere - Loved the Madonna episode, can't wait for the Lady GaGa episode, and word on the street is they might do a Britney Spears episode too
'Dhani Tackles the Globe' (Travel) 2nd season premiere - Sports-related, but Dhani sure is nice to look at
'Say Yes to the Dress' (TLC) 5th season premiere - I'm not planning on getting married, but I can't help watching the random bridezilla
'The Hills' (MTV) 6th season premiere - see below
'The City' (MTV) 2nd season premiere - I love Whitney but I'm not sure she's a big enough star for her own show. 1st season was alright, we'll see how this season goes
'Friday Night Lights' (NBC) 4th season premiere - Mom will be happy about this one too, starts on the 30th

Shows I wish I watched but no one has convinced me to add them to my DVR...yet
'Little People, Big World' (TLC) 6th season mid-season premiere
'Celebrity Fit Club' (VH1) 7th season finale
'Top Chef Masters' (Bravo) 2nd season premiere
'Tori & Dean' (Oxygen) 5th season premiere

Don't worry, I don't actually track all this information in my head. I'm not that obsessed. My source is here.

Season 6 premiere of The Hills
I promised Rachel that I would blog my reaction to tonight's season premiere of The Hills, so here you go.
1. Why is Stephanie friends with everyone now? She's only there to ask "loaded" questions. I don't like her and wish she wasn't on the show...ever.
2. Did Heidi and Spencer rob a pawn shop? What's with all the gold jewelry?
3. FrankenHeidi is going to be in my nightmare tonight. She's straight scary looking!
4. Brody ...need I say more.
5. Since when does wearing sunglasses mean you do drugs? Jack Nicholson's been wearing them to Lakers games for years. Oh...wait...
Final Thoughts: Overall, it was a pretty boring season opener although clips from the rest of the season look pretty juicy. I think it's a good thing that this is the last season though. It's starting to be same old, same old.

BTW, did I mention that I love reality tv. I love it so much, that I read both of Lauren Conrad's books, L.A. Candy and Sweet Little Lies, which are about reality tv. They are "fictional" although a lot of the story lines and people sound very similar to those in The Hills. Regardless, the books were fantastic and I highly recommend them.


On a side note, a commercial for Sex In The City 2 came on during The Hills, and I just want to say...I can't wait! Aidan's back..yeah.

  2. I haven't kept up with The Hills :( But I'll definitely look into her books. Love her! Oh yeah, I love Tori & Dean. They are so sweet to each other. Tori's little antics are hilarious.

  3. I have been wanting to read these! However, I have been feeling so guilty for watching so much reality TV that when it came time to choose a new book I picked a "real" book. As soon as I finish my book and feel better about myself, I will be on the hunt for some trashy reading! ha ha And like Myra, I love Tori & Dean too!
