I actually don’t like very much television. Generally speaking the PVR tapes Law & Order (and variations), a handful of other crime shows, some ABC stuff – Spics and Specs and the Gruen Transfer. That’s my TV regime.

That’s not all the PVR tapes though. Oh no. It also tapes some other items. The 7.30 Report. Okay so far. But then rapidly downhill from there. There are shows about fat people, dancing and generally every other reality TV show that involves people being in a house and embarrassing and humiliating themselves. Now this isn’t my viewing. It belongs to Ruth. Ruth, who is remarkably bright, funny and educated, LOVES watching this utter crap. Loves it. I can’t work out what the attraction is. At least my crap has a plot and characters and you occasionally have to think about how dismember someone. It bewilders me.

P.S. Speaking of utter crap – she’s currently deeply engrossed in the Logies. She even just laughed at a Dave Hughes joke. I think I might go upstairs, kill some pixels and imagine they all look like Natalie Bassingthwaighte.
