kidnapped by vh1

The TV sucked me in again.

This time, it was VH1’s “I love the 70s” for a good portion of the day. Even though I was too young to remember anything from the 70s that I was around for, it’s still fun to watch!

And then after dinner, I returned for three hours of “I love the 80s” … which, I do remember. Too bad it’s over now, so they can show the top 40 videos from 2006. Since most mainstream music pretty much sucks, I’m guessing that won’t be too entertaining.

Watching all this VH1 today, though, I saw way too many extended previews for their upcoming reality shows. VH1 has been creating a lot of “Celebreality” shows that I fortunately have been able to avoid.

Probably the biggest train wreck is the “Surreal Life Fame Games” — where they determine which of their celebrities are on the “A-list.” Of course, all contestants are returning “stars” from previous seasons of “Surreal Life.”

Actually, the description on their site is a little off … saying that the mix of stars on each “Surreal Life” season are from A-listers down. It usually seems they’re more like C-listers down, but anyway …

I almost want to watch that one, of course just to see who crashes and burns. Though, I’m not really sure who some of the people are. I’ll probably be able to avoid it since I’m already hooked on plenty of quality television programs.

Now … what will I watch as I wait for the ball to drop?
