Another blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign

I can't see those shows without thinking about this. It was funny at the time. Now it seems brilliant.

 

Loved that commercial. First time I saw it, I actually thought it was a reality show commercial until the very end.

 

Life Below Zero FTW.

 

"Bad reality" television is redundant.

 

I told him the same thing in a PM. I admire his courage.

 

I used to record it, but they haven't had new ones on in a long time now.

 

Fun fact: My wife appeared on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and was quoted on the show two or three seasons ago when they featured the restaurant where we met as teenagers.

Chopped is a fun show, but Top Chef is where it's at. Beat Bobby Flay is pretty awesome as well.

 

No one is going to remember that Hillary Clinton used Lena Dunham to try to close with young people in Iowa and New Hampshire. But it is so indicative of her complete inability to figure out how to relate to that demographic that it's a seminal moment in the campaign so far, to me.

 

My wife loves Real Houswives (Beverly Hills and New York, none of the others) and Vanderpump. I occasionally watch Vanderpump with her, which can be mildly entertaining, but I doubt I'd ever put it on if she weren't watching it already. She loves the Bravo reality shows. I enjoy Below Deck (about deckhands on a luxury yacht), but it's total trash.

Reality shows I watch because of my wife:
Chopped
Top Chef
Masterchef
Real Housewives
Vanderpump
Below Deck
The Bachelor
Million Dollar Listing New York
Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles

Reality shows we watch because I like them:
Deadliest Catch
Flip or Flop
Fixer Upper
Property Brothers
The Vanilla Ice Project
Rehab Addict
Income Property
Survivor

 

Dick, you're getting off track. What trashy reality shows do you hate to admit you watch?

 

I genuinely don't watch any reality shows, I don't think. I watched one season of "Survivor" the first year my wife and I were dating, because she liked it. It's mostly total chaos at night at our place. I watch sports, election coverage, and movies. And cartoons. When "Mad Men" ended, so did our television viewing. She watches a couple of trashy soaps and, I think, the show where they compete to be fashion designers.

 

Really shocked no one has mentioned Bar Rescue yet.
