TV is my guilty pleasure. I have about 4 shows that I DVR and watch them faithfully. I know some people think that television is a waste of time, but I think it can also be educational and enlightening. Take a look at this list I've compiled of some observations I've made...
1. Thanks to Cloris Leachman on DWTS, I've learned that when you are old, you do not have to behave...and you can say whatever you want to...and spank people's butts...and bribe people...and no one can do anything about it. Btw, did you see Monday's DWTS...Cloris Leachman's samba....Oh my goodness, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Watch this clip of the hip-hop group dance.
2. Children go from being babies to 4 year olds in a matter of months. I don't religiously watch Desperate Housewives, but I tuned in last Sunday and noticed that the baby that Susan and Mike conceived last season is in preschool...What the??
3. There is a lot to learn about love... If you don't believe me, then just watch Grey's Anatomy. Grey's with McDreamy, McDreamy's with Addison, Addison's with McSteamy, McSteamy's was with Lexie, Lexie Loves George, George was married to Callie, Izzy loved George, George cheated on Callie with Izzy, Callie like Erica, Izzy has an ongoing thing for Alex, Alex loves lots of women...see, loves a tricky thing...much to be learned.
4. You can pick up on new vocabulary. I daily work in new words such as "seriously", used in a way that means "REALLY" or "what did you say?" or "you're kidding me" or "COME ON" or "you've GOT to be kidding me"...yes, all these phrases can be wrapped up neatly into one little box by saying "SERIOUSLY"!!! You can actually have a total conversation with the one word...seriously. For example: "I seriously need a grande mocha w/ skim milk, no whip, and 2 pumps! Seriously? Seriously!" Also there is "shut up" used without a negative connotation, mainly for instances of surprise or shock. Kinda like "get out of here" or "no way"...shut up!
5. After watching a few episodes of Ugly Betty, you realize that high school never ends it just turns into your work place and there are still cliques and groups...cool people and not so cool people. It's ugly.
Any wisdoms you've learned from television you would like to share?
