kjpepper1) Reality TV. It, by way of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sydneycat has warped my fragile little mind. Not only is it a fabulous exercise in schadenfreude (what rocks are they turning over to find some of these people??), but it makes excellent background noise when crafting.
2) How Clean Is Your House? Check this out sometime if you have BBC America. Basically two wonderful biddies, one of which with an improbably bleached updo (how does she have any hair LEFT) go into people's terrifyingly nasty houses and spend a good part of the show being horrified by the state of it (with accompanying horror movie music), lecture the owner of the mess, take bacteria swabs of the grossest areas, and then spend the rest of the show making the place habitable. Fabulousness of the show is only compounded by the ladies' lab coats and feather trimmed cleaning gloves, and the disaffected VO narrator.
3) The Glamazons. For those of you that don't watch America's Got Talent (I'm suspecting that's all of you) they are four gorgeous chubby women who just got voted through to the finals. Their singing needs a bit of polish, but they've improved vastly since their first appearance. And they perform in fishnets and corsets. Did I mention they are cute as hell?
4) The Singing Bee. Because the concept of a game show based on how well you know song lyrics is totally for the win.
5) Shark Week promos. Holy crap, how has the Discovery Channel AND Shark Week been around for 20 years.
And some extras today:
6) Scrubs. I know I'm late to the party but we keep catching it on Comedy Central these days and every single episode has a serious splorfle moment.
7) Cities of the Underworld. Send one of two seriously overcaffinated dudes with appointed guides into the fabulous labyrinths of things that exist beneath what is now the surface of our world. Ancient cities, tunnels used by the Underground Railroad, secret basements beneath skyscrapers, that super secret power plant stashed under Grand Central. Spend half an hour filming them exclaiming how freaking AMAZING it all is. Broadcast it on the History Channel.
