Summer. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says summer? The beach, the sun, no school, sleeping... And while I'm waiting to go on vacation and jump into the sea, I'm stuck at home, in my small town of ghosts watching reality shows. :lol:

Still, it's not THAT bad. Every time I get bored or sth, I tell myself: School's over. Relax. Who cares if you have nothing to do?! :lol: And when things get boring, I usually watch shows that didn't get a chance to watch during last season, like Eli Stone, My name is Earl, Stargate Atlantis, Mad Men or Greek - and so far, it's been fun... Of course, So You Think You Can Dance is back (yaaaay! :D ) and the perfomance shows have started, and while I still have no favorites, the season is shaping up to be a great one :D

But that's just 3 hours a week. The what? Well, I do watch Hell's Kitchen and America's got talent, for example, but those shows get old quickly... and THEN what? Erm, I actually spent two hours today watching Wipeout and I survived a Japanese game show :lol: It's pathetic, I know, and what kills me the most is the fact that those shows got better ratings (during the summer!) than an average episode of Friday Night Lights, 30 Rock, and even Pushing Daisies... And yet, somehow, I enjoyed those two shows, especially Wipeout. I don't really know what's wrong with me, I'm just a huge sucker for reality shows :lol:

I'm not saying I watch every piece of junk that comes on - Celebrity Circus? Seriously? -.- The Mole - the most boring piece of junk I've seen in a while. But there really are a few geniunely funny reality shows, such as Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List. That woman is hilarious. She's absolutely insane and I LOVE her. :lol: She just makes my day, and I really hate that a season of My Life on the D-List only has 8 episodes :( Then there's 30 days, also another too-short-season reality show. I mean, I get it, it takes a month to shoot an episode :lol: But still, it's a very informative, interesting and different, above all, reality show.

However, scripted television hasn't died completely. There are several, returning and new, shows that I'm really enjoying. The Middleman, for example. It's so cheesy, such bad effects, but that's the beauty of it. I love it. Then there's Weeds. Much better than last season, gotta admit. And then in a few weeks more and more summer hits will return - The Closer (yay :D ), Burn Notice, Stargate Atlantis, Mad Men etc. And just when I get used to summer television, the new TV season will kick off :D And it starts sooo early - Fox and The CW are premiering most of their shows in the first week of September! :D That is, of course, if SAG doesn't go on strike.

Yes, here we are again. It makes me SICK to even think about it. I seriously can't wrap my head around it. Apparently even if they don't authorize a strike, everything will come to a standstill. Which, of course, is insane. I don't wanna go through that again. Yes, I sound pathetic, and I'm not a SAG/AFTRA member whose paycheck is on the line, but c'mon, the execs at SAG really, seriously, need to get a hold of themselves and realize that they're just screwing things up. Ugh.

So, that's about it for now, I know I haven't been commenting on anyone's blogs and stuff, but honestly, I was about to give up writing my own blog. Just didn't have any inspiration - I guess it came back :lol: Now, let's all pray that there isn't a second work stoppage in Hollywood and let's get through these hot summer days with crappy reality shows! :D
