I've watched a ridiculous amount of "Full House" and "Melrose Place" in the past week. ABC Family brought back their mid-day 2 hour block of "Full House" reruns this week and so, of course, I have to watch it. I'm about a season and a half into "Melrose Place" on Netflix and I am totally addicted! My DVR has actually been a bit neglected in the past week as a result.
I feel like I dress like a 12 year old at times... And I'm okay with that. Last week I bought hot pink Vans shoes. I'd seen them on Pinterest and thought they were adorable, so I snatched them up when I actually found them in store. The next day, I saw a girl (early middle school age) wearing those shoes! And then, I posted a pic to Instagram and got comments from a 14 year old on how cool they are! Hey, at least I'm one of the cool kids.
I get in a very (verbally) foul mood whenever I go into Wal-Mart. I avoid going to Wal-Mart at all costs... Particularly the one by my house. It's actually in a nice area, but it seems to attract everyone that belongs on People Of Wal-Mart. I know, it sounds horrible of me to say that. I instantly get in a bad mood the minute I step in that place and suddenly have no filter to what comes out of my mouth regarding how much I hate that place.
It's time for Sunday Social over at A Complete Waste of Makeup!
This week is all about TV shows... You KNOW I'm all about that topic! :)
What was your favorite TV show as a kid?
I was and still am a HUGE fan of "Full House." I've seen every episode numerous times, but still love watching reruns everyday. Did you guys catch the Jesse and the Rippers reunion on Jimmy Fallon the other night? It was a "Full House" fan's dream come true.
What is your current favorite TV show?
I have quite a few shows that I'm addicted to, so I'll categorize them for you... My favorite drama is definitely "Parenthood." If you haven't watched this show, you need to find it online and watch it from the beginning. For comedy, I love "Cougar Town" and love TBS for giving it new life again. "Real Housewives of OC," "Dance Moms," and "Teen Mom" are my favorite reality shows. So dysfunctional and so wonderful all at the same time...
What reality show would you never do?
Anything involving physical pain, living outdoors for prolonged periods of time, or eating things not meant for human consumption... LOL
What reality show would you love to do?
If I really had the design skill and know-how, I would love to be on "Design Star" on HGTV. I've always said if I hadn't gone into teaching I'd probably have gone into interior design. A couple guy friends and I joked a few years ago that we could make design team and would have a hilariously awesome show on HGTV.
What is the TV personality / character that is most like you?
I honestly can't come up with anyone off the top of my head... *sigh*
Which TV character would you want to date?
Okay, so I've recently started watching old episodes of the original "Melrose Place" on Netflix. (My mom loved this show back in the day, so I figured I'd give it a chance!) I'm almost to the end of season 1, but I love the character Billy on there! He's so cute and sweet!
If I want to get all old school, I'd also choose Mike Seaver from "Growing Pains." I love that show and his character was an adorable schemer!
In fact, I think I watch more teen shows than I did when I actually was a teen. I probably watch almost as much MTV as I did when I was 16.
So, let's go through my top 3 guilty pleasure teen show addictions.
Awkward.
This is seriously one of the best shows MTV has ever produced. The writing is great and it's a delightful mix of dry humor and drama. I have friends my age and even my mom's age that love this show. The third season is coming back in April 16 and I get a little super excited every time I see a promo for it!
Degrassi
Those Canadians know their drama! I started watching "Degrassi" back in college when I would babysit late nights and then watched a marathon of it for like 3 days straight when I had the flu. After that, I was hooked! It's been on for a long time and they cycle through characters, but I still somehow get hooked on the storylines. It's on Teen Nick and is currently in the middle of 12th season.
(Fun Fact: It's actually the continuation of the original Degrassi series back in the 80's, but the ties to the original show aren't really there anymore... Only 1 character from the 80's show is still on there. I also recently discovered PBS has posted episodes of the original series on their You Tube page.)
The Carrie Diaries
This one is a new show that's the prequel to "Sex and the City" and it follows Carrie Bradshaw through high school in the mid-80's. I'll admit the 80's thing is what got me interested in the show, but it's such a good show, that I sometimes forget that's when it's set. I'm not a huge SATC fan, but know enough about the show and Carrie's character to appreciate this show. I think AnnaSophia Robb does an awesome job playing Carrie. She's way cuter than Sarah Jessica Parker actually was at the time (here's proof), but her narration and mannerisms are very convincing to make it feel like it's the same character only younger. I really hope this show lasts longer than this first season.
Do you have any guilty pleasure shows like these?!?
