My name is Stacey, and I am a Reality TV addict. (::hangs head in mock shame::)  It’s only gotten worse since the arrival of our DVR last month, too!  Now I can record Housewives (I prefer Orange County and New York), America’s Next Top Model, The Millionaire Matchmaker, and so much more! As embarrassing as it [...]

I love TLC’s show “What Not To Wear,” but I’m fairly positive they’d never take my self-nomination, and here’s why: I’d actually want to be there.  It seems like their guests have gotten more and more confrontational lately – the editing department wouldn’t have to touch the *bleeping* sound effect once if I were on.  I’m guessing [...]

I have found a silver lining to the puppy’s early morning wake-up that clouds most of my days: RE-RUNS OF ANGEL!!! TNT shows back-to-back episodes at 5am and 6am.  I forgot how much I adored Joss Whedon and his Buffy/Angel franchises.  I think I’ve reunited with Angel somewhere in season 3, though I’m not sure.  [...]

I rarely – RARELY – write about pop culture on my blog.  It’s true that I’m a nut for reality shows and I watch entirely too much television, but I don’t usually care enough about water-cooler topics to spend some font on them here. Tonight, though, after watching the interview with Kate Gosselin on TLC, I have [...]

I rarely watch TLC’s “A Baby Story,” I guess because I’ve been through it five times myself, and I don’t need any dramatic reminders of all that childbirth entails.  I happened to land upon the show today, though, and the episode I watched had me both angry and horrified. The couple – first-time parents – [...]

…if I told you that I’d love for my alter ego to be Kat Von D from TLC’s L.A. Ink? I don’t really follow her exploits off-screen, so don’t leave me any comments about she’s done this-or-that or whatever.  I just *love* watching her show, and I love what a paradox she is.  She’s got extreme [...]

Why is it that the more life I live, the less I end up blogging?  Seriously, I have at least five publish-worthy posts floating around in my head, and whenever I sit down to type it out, the thoughts just whisp away.  Kind of like trying to explain a really vivid dream in words – [...]

We’ve had cable for several months now, and after not having it for years, the kids nearly overdosed on all their viewing options.  We were watching A LOT of television at first – and not all of it very “good” television; even though some channels market themselves for the kids or the family, you can still [...]

I watch A LOT of children’s television.  Heaven help me.  I pass the time by interpreting a jealous love triangle between Carmela, Manny, and Kelly and fixating on my favorite Imagination Mover (RICH!).  Anything to get my kicks while the toddler does his thing, right? I’ll tell you what I DON’T get a kick out of [...]

One of our favorite things to do as a family is watch movies together.  Our living room looks like one big pile of bodies on movie night; that’s not hard to do with 2 couches, one rocker, 2 bean bags and 7 people! Redbox is our friend, mostly because there are several scattered around town, [...]
