[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 412024, member: 1233"] If you ever truly want to see difficult child behavior, watch and episode of "My Big Friggin' Wedding" on either mtv or vh1. I cannot tell them apart except that they don't have music. Jess wanted me to watch an episode of a different wedding show and I watched that one by mistake. BIG mistake. I have seen bridezillas, but these couples are nuts. The most important part of a wedding is NOT when the bride does the booty pop and the most important detail in the entire wedding is NOT making sure her dress is tight enough in the tush to show when she does said booty pop. I swear it is the only issue for one bride. The others are just mean, stoopit (not even smart enough to be stupid) and none of them are mature enough to be married. If the "best part" of the reception is the ice luge for shots, well, the entire thing is being done for the wrong reason, in my opinion. Reality tv exposes some of the worst of our society and sure makes it seem "fun" to many people. I still remember when some of my relatives thought I was being "abusive" by not letting Wiz watch that funniest video show where it is some kid getting hit in the crotch every other clip. All I heard was how he wouldn't have anything to talk about with the other kids and how he wouldn't know how to act because he didn't watch that show. It was then that I knew we were on a really bad road. This was even after the people who made that show started making people sign something that said the child was not hurt in the video. Cause yeah, you can hit a guy in the crotch and not have it hurt if he is young enough or you pay his parents enough money. I do like Cake boss and some of the other TLC and Discovery videos. Police Women is cool - I just wish they still ahd full episodes on the internet! I never seem to catch it to record it or watch it on the DVR. Which is making me mad because I really wanted to see the Cincy one!!! I have walked some of thsoe streets!! Just last night I was watching clips of Animal Planet's fatal attraction show. I realized that I knew one of the guys in OH who was talking about his relative who got killed by his snakes (I think it was snakes). I lived near there and had NO idea that anyone had that many poisonous snakes in a home!! (there do seem to be a LOT of people in OH, esp the Cincy area, who have "exotic" (meaning bizarre to me) pets. My uncle had a neighbor with a gator and a bobcat and they found some other wild animals living in his home. the bobcat got shot because it kept getting loose - in reality the owner was a drunk who kept getting mad if kids in the neighborhood were outside playing and he would let it loose, or so the cops said (a relative was the safety commissioner for that area so we knew the cops, EMT's etc...).
