A few thoughts on "Jersey Shore"

I had never bothered to watch the worthless crap of a show "Jersey Shore" until I moved to New Jersey. I was hesitant to watch it even then. Part of this is because my loyalty to MTV programming died a long time ago when I was a boy-crazy middle school girl slobbering over Carson Daily on Total Request Live.

Either way, I was flipping through the channels in our temporary living quarters up here when I came across this crap. I watched maybe 10 minutes of this garbage and couldn't stand it anymore. First of all, what's so cool about walking around like a sketchy chump wearing a wife-beater shirt? I must say I've seen several dudes out in public here sporting a wife-beater and to me, it just looks trashy and somewhat creepy. Must be a "Jersey Shore" thing. But maybe that's because real Southern boys know how to put on a collared shirt, or at least a clean t-shirt when going out in public.

Anyway, I think you get the idea of my distaste for crappy shows like Jersey Shore. And before you ask, no, I've never watched the Real Housewives of New Jersey. I just can't bring myself to it yet. I haven't succumbed to that level or boredom and/or depression yet. So then, Tracy, what kind of TV shows do you like, you may ask. Well I'll tell you, it's none of that MTV rubbish. A few of my favorite programs include The Office, Parks and Recreation, Family Guy, True Blood, MSNBC News and CNN, Hoarders (just can't resist!), anything on HGTV, and those occasional awesome days when I catch some old-school Boy Meets World or Saved by the Bell re-runs. And of course when it's football season, I'm tuned into NFL. So, take that MTV, Jersey Shore and all the other crap on television. My blog shall spite you! Brawhaha!

  1. The one thing I really like about the South is how everyone is so polite. Yes, Ma'am; no, Sir. In all their hustle the north misses out on good manners sometimes.

    p.s. I can't resist Hoarders either. ;)

  2. Elise, I say yes ma'am no sir all the time up here, and I must say I get some funny looks at times. I don't think people are used to hearing it. I said "yes sir" to a colleague of mine and his response was a chuckle and he said "you're so crazy." And maybe some of the women think that's an insult to call them ma'am, like you're saying they're old. Get over yourselves, people! It's just common courtesy!!!

  3. Parks and Recreation. Tom Haverford aka Aziz Ansari all day long. Funniest show on television, second only to The Office.
