This is blog at its best. I’m so jealous I didn’t think of this blog topic first. And I’m with Second Red on Iron Chevre. It ain’t easy being that cheesy.

Ooh, true confessions. Back when we had free TV I, too, probably watched most of a season. Yikes. I was really just teasing, though, since these were ostensibly shows you *would* watch but then you decided that the “Biggest Loose Individual” already does.

Well, I guess you’re right . . . I was thinking of the content of that smarter than a fifth-grader show and the number of Ph.D.s who probably aren’t, my own in-progress self included. Individuals utterly obsessed with Derrida, for instance, might not be so hot at state capitals or whatever else one does in fifth grade. I guess the show I was envisioning was more of “Is a Ph.D. Smarter than You?”–hence my guess that respect would not necessarily follow the results.

I most certainly do not watch that kind of trash! I just read about it on trashy websites. :) Actually, I watched nearly one whole season of The Bachelor, and I remember getting really grossed out when the guy (presumably) had sex with the final four women in four days. Ew!

As for the PhD show, I suspect this would be epic fail, especially when people start spouting off about Proust and Derrida and other equally boring philosophy-types. :)

Hm . . . so is this an admission that you DO watch “The Bachelor,” or does it need the right title to draw you in? I think “Are You Smarter than a PhD” has real potential but am not entirely sure that “respect” would always be the byproduct. :-)

Iron Chevre. That’s rich like Brie. How about American Idoll House. Human “dolls” get wiped of their memory and downloaded with different music stars. For one day these dolls attempt to live the lives of such greats as MJ, Madonna, Brittney Spears, and Freddy Mercury.
