FALL TELEVISION IS FINALLY HERE!


It's the most wonderful time of the year...no not Christmas...fall is finally here! Don't get me wrong, this summer was actually pretty good but summer is pretty sucky when it's come to tv.
Summer is usually a low period during the tv year but with Netflix and Amazon Prime there's been a couple of excellent shows to keep us going during the dog days. Preacher was a riotous, violent, funny series. Obviously, Stranger Things was a nostalgic blast from the past.
But now it's September and officially the start of the tv season! And this is one of the reasons why fall is my favorite season...also; Halloween, sweaters, pumpkin flavored everything and not sweating whilst you sleep.
There are so many amazing looking new tv shows starting right now! Some are returning show like American Horror Story and Project Runway, others are brand spanking new like Atlanta and Westworld.
Good thing I have a couple of days off to catch up on all these shows!
I will post as I watch them.

What I'm watching this weekend:
American Horror Story
Project Runway
Atlanta
On The Night
The Collection

I already watched Drag Race All Stars this morning...Alaska is slaying it!

Hate-Watching: Real Housewives

Hate-watching is when you watch a t.v. show even though you don't actually like it. You watch it for the 'enjoyment' of bitching about it with your friends on social media. The X Factor is a show people hate-watch...I used to hate-watch The X Factor but I can't even get any 'enjoyment' out of making fun of it anymore.
But there's another show that I can't stop hate-watching...The Real Housewives of...all of them. The extreme 'wealth' (though half of them seem to be bankrupt at some point) and consumption disgusts me. I can't relate to them in any way. It's like watching a nature program except it's about 'The Real Housewives' instead of 'Meerkat Manor' or 'Lions of the Serengeti'. These women spend more on lunch than what my rent is a month. They are selfish, conceited, rude, greedy, self centered, self abosorbed, lying, cheating, backstabbing bullies...with way too much plastic surgery. But I can't stop watching their antics.
I know most of the scenes are set up so there's some kind of heated confrontation or fight...all the better for the ratings. These women have no loyalty to each other, even their 'friends' or 'family' of years or decades. They change sides more then they change their underwear. They seem to have a new BFF every other episode. And if some of these women hate each other so much why would they go on vacation with each other!?!? I wouldn't even go to lunch with any of them, except maybe Kyle from Beverly Hills or Nene from Atlanta.
Even so, as long as they keep finding new cities to have 'Real Houswives' I will watch this show.
