Why I Got Sucked into Watching...

The Apprentice. I really did. I am not a fan of reality shows, except for Survivor, which has become a family favorite, the one show we will all sit around and watch together. I did see one or two episodes of The Apprentice last year, but it never grabbed me. I don't care for The Donald and I don't like corporate life.

Our family is not big into TV watching, especially not prime-time (we don't have cable), but Thursday has always been my night to veg out with the TV, watching Survivor and ER. Thursday night has been DH's night out to role-play game with his friends since we met 16 years ago. And luckily there has always been something that has caught my interest on TV on Thursday nights-- used to be The Cosby show, LA Law, Cheers. Thursdays and me go back a long ways.

So tonight, since my fave shows haven't started yet, I tuned into The Apprentice. It was okay, somewhat interesting, with the two brand-new teams trying to each design an innovative toy for the 6-8 yr old boy age group. The real things I found interesting about the show were the way these team memebers had to speak up about themselves and the others on the team in the board room with Donald. They had to sound sure of themselves, to be opinionated, which is not something I feel comfortable doing in public myself. And the winning team got to go to DT's New York home and have dinner there, and just the oppulence, the idea of seeing how someone who is so obscenely rich lives. How did this funny-haired plain-old guy get there?

And then after that there was a new medical show called Medical Investigor, or something like that. Fast paced and ER-like, with even the cute young Noah-Wylie-like doctor. It held my interest for the show, but its nothing I would go out of my way to watch.

When does the real ER start?
