The TV remote was busy tonight. I wanted to watch the CNN Primary Coverage. Gary wanted to watch Dance Moms.
I don't watch Dance Moms. I tried to watch it when it first came out. There was a dark-haried woman who convinced me if I gained some weight I could be a dance instructor. She was harsh to some little girl and I stopped watching after fifteen minutes.
Turns out Gary has been following it. ("I like it for the dancing. The kids learn the routines so fast!") He claims to ignore the Moms just like the kids do.
The evening was spent flipping between low-drama political election results and shrieking harpy mothers. "This process has been very exciting tonight, Rick Santorum made a push right at the end" (Boo-BOOP! TiVo noise) "Ah will do ALL I CAN for my FAMILY AND MAH DAUGHTER. Ah will do whatever it TAKES!"
He has also taken to watching Teen Mom and Toddlers and Tiaras. God save us.
I heard that Ice Moms is casting. He's gonna love that.

I will never forget that little girl on toddlers and tiaras shaking her finger and saying "a dollah makes me hollah". God save us, indeed.

I feel his pain - that stuff is seriously addicting. I'm terrified every time I channel flip that I will accidentally watch 3 minutes of Swamp People and be sucked into the vortex...

Magpie - sigh. He's been so good resisting up till now.
Shania - See, I can't see Gary putting up with that for a minute. And to think, he dislikes my choices of "Mad men" and "Rescue Me" and "Breaking Bad" because there are no heroes! Where are the heroes here?
Mare - HE TURNED ON SWAMP PEOPLE TODAY. I blame you!

If I were you, I'd quick block the channel for Bayou Billionaires.
