Reid About It

There is finally something new to watch on television. Last night, Big Brother finally came back on. Hopefully this is the broadcasting jumpstart I need to keep me from trying to watch "According To Jim" for entertainment.

Seriously, people, "According To Jim" is still on the air? How is it possible that "Arrested Development" left the air like "The Chevy Chase Show," but "According To Jim" has been allowed to run for what feels like decades?

Anyway, back to Big Brother. If you've never seen it, here's the recipe. Take a dozen or so hot young people, all of whom have one serious mental problem or another. Mix 'em up together, make them live in a completely isolated house and give them plenty of chances to make friends and enemies. Then, every couple of weeks, do something to shake things up like an old boyfriend, relative, or conjoned twin. Add lots of alcohol, film the whole thing, and you've got some pretty compelling freakshow television.

I'll fully admit it, it ain't exactly Masterpiece Theatre, but it's fun to watch. It certainly falls under the "guilty pleasure" category. Is there a show you watch that you'll admit is dumb, but enjoyable?
