Preggo-Viewing

You may think this is something odd to write about. Well, you are right! It’s just lately I have been becoming more mindful of my television viewing preferences, and how things have been changing since I have been pregnant. (Do you remember how last time I became obsessed with ELO?)

So, just like in the last pregnancy with Abe, I had to re-watch all Dawson Creek episodes to get to the final season. There are a few reasons for doing this:

1) My obsession with Katie Holmes.
2) For some reason I felt the need to “escape” into high school melodrama.
3) I became strangely attracted to Pacey.

Lucky for me a channel on our cable was replaying the last two seasons of Dawson’s Creek. Which is good, because I totally didn’t remember the last season (the college years). I also got to watch the episode where Dawson’s dad died (SOB FEST!). However, they totally pissed me off because right when the “Series Finale” was supposed to air, “Degrassi: The Next Generation” was in its place. WTF?

What did this tell me? My hormones are crazy and I love to exercise the crazy hormones (crazy teen crush on Pacey, crying hysterically about Dawson’s dad, and learning tough lessons in love on the Creek.)

On a more positive note, I can barely even stomach “The Hills” anymore. I really hate every single person on that show, and I am starting to like Justin Bobby even more! That is not a good sign. (Bear with me for those of you not watching the Hills).

On a weird twist note, I am becoming annoyed with “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” and starting to love “Little People, Big World.” You would think that because I have a kid now, and one more on the way, I would have so much in common with Jon and Kate and their kids and love to see what crazy stuff they get into. Well, I used to feel that way, but now I feel like they are total sell outs. Ski trips, OBX beach trips, hair plugs, Hawaiian weddings? Give me a break. Plus, do you notice that those kids have on new outfits from the Gap every episode. And, then, Kate flips out about getting stains on things. Whatever.

Now, I am all into the drama of the Roloff’s. Pumpkin trebuchet injuries, DUIs, drawn out home renovations, marital struggles. This show is chock full of drama, and I love how they have a messy house on TV. The mom doesn’t give a Fo-shizzle. She is a tough cookie.

And, of course, you know I love to watch the Discovery Health Networks crazy stuff. Like the one show called, “I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant,” and this one lady was having cramps and basically her baby came out in the toilet. You can’t make that crap up, and it is the Discovery Health Networks job to find it, document, then make it into a riveting half hour show.

Lastly, on an obvious note, you know I love the Food Network. I want to eat 24 hours a day now. I will watch every stupid show, too. Even the Food Network Challenges.
