[medjay]

Man, if have to choose between this and Fastlane I'm turning the goddamned TV off!

 

[Freya]

The whole concept of that show offends me because of that reason.

 

[Aquila]

The t.v. does other things besides act as a monitor for my dvds?

 

[Cheyenne]

Why would I torture myself with such crap?

Nope, I skipped the show in the first place so I don't really care about the ones who weren't selected. They were the lucky ones anyway.

These women make anyone with a uterus look like all they want is a big rock, with a successful man, to win versus all other women, and have the whole Leave It To Beaver fantasy life of the 50s.

I dunno, lavy.

The overwhelming majority of women I've met in my life have very much wanted everything you listed but the last.

I"m sure there are women out there who aren't about that, but there aren't very many of them at all. That show isn't that atypical.

 

[freakygirl]

This is one of those times that I'm actually thankful that mom prefers re runs of Law and Order on TNT over any other tv shows.

 

[kotori]

What, and give up a night of watching them do it here?

(Actually, I thought maybe it was the Victoria's Secret Christmas Special. lol)

 

[christophe]

now i remember why i watch less than 4 hours of tv per week!posting on lit is much more educational

My sister and I are currently watching it .. it's like a car wreck .. can't quite look away no matter how horrifying the sight is.

I didn't watch the series at all, so these little clips of the crying, the journal-writing "Oh, I can so see him as my husband.." blugh .. making me cringe. I told my sister that she's damaging my poor 1 month old neice..lol.

Jazzy .. I refuse to believe that these vacuous, catty examples of plastic women are the norm. Nope. Sorry - don't buy it.

Anyhow.. very right, lavy. Gross.

You should circulate as a single man in what passes for social meeting places these days, cK. Trust me. They're thicker than flies on a dead cow.

I, on the other hand, and watching Birds of Prey.

...and have the whole Leave It To Beaver fantasy life of the 50s.

Gross.

I agree the show is lame, but when did aspiring to be a wife and mother become gross?

or the competition, the game playing and cattiness.

 

[Cheyenne]

Ignore all the women with the big hair. That will make it tolerable, I'm sure.

Ah, well. That's different then! Lavy didn't say the show was taking place in Texas!

 

[Spinaroonie]

I voted for President Bartlett.

 

[Monazwx]

Thank goodness for the"West Wing" at 9pm.
After the Bachelor is the interview with J'Lo by Diane Sawyer.
Could ABC get any worse tonight?

 

[Sillyman]

Like a man is so fucking hard to find.

 

[sigh]

On a brighter note, on PBS right now they're honoring Bob Newhart with the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Award.

Brilliant and funny and a LOT better than the bimbo parade.


You know, though, lavy, from the little I've seen of it, the guy on that show seems just as shallow and empty as those women. It's really a denigration of our whole culture. Very sad. Very demeaning.

But, when these women are so ready to compromise themselves for this "dream" this "fantasy" they have with a man they barely know, who is in a set-up like this TV show, it becomes gross and makes me feel unclean.

Agreed.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

This is sickening. Absolutely sickening. These women make anyone with a uterus look like all they want is a big rock, with a successful man, to win versus all other women, and have the whole Leave It To Beaver fantasy life of the 50s.

Gross.

Now I have a reason to be happy that I don't have a uterus.

 

[Spinaroonie]

nah

 

[Temptress_1960]

ummmmm... are you saying that's not what we all want?

*carefully wiping my hands on the frilly white apron tied over my housedress*

ROFLMAO

Tom Poston can still make me smile, and I haven't seen Jake Johannsen in ages!
