I love summer, almost EVERYTHING about it. I am and always have been a summer girl, I love the sun, sand, water, old fashioned lemonade days of summer. *Yes, even SC's sweltering 100 degree days...besides, southern girls don't sweat, we glisten* (Riiiight, I sweat like a freaking PIG, ugh...but I wouldn't trade it for winter for the world.)
Anyways, one thing i do hate about the summer? The TV. There is never anything to watch. I hate how all of the good shows (non reality) end before summer, it really drives me nuts. I do not like reality tv (save for one...and that is So You Think You Can Dance!), reality tv generally drives me BONKERS. Sometimes, I truly don't understand how so many girls can love the Bachelor, Bachelorette, Housewives shows. I get the fact that a lot of people use these petty, catty, drama filled shows as a release from their real life, but I just can't stand them. CANNOT STAND. I think it's interesting how so many women talk about women tearing each other down and how women should support each other, etc. in real life, but then tune into these awful shows where that is all they do. I guess a lot of people find it entertaining, but I find it absolutely pathetic (the reality shows, not the people who watch them). I *tried* to tune in for 5 seconds of the bachelorette the other night (there is a guy who lives in my hometown on there) and I had to turn it immediately. SO FAKE, STUPID, CHEESY, AND AWKWARD. I don't know...maybe it's just me, I just get so much anxiety watching people make a fool out of themselves, I don't even like to watch American Idol, The Voice, etc. because of that...I get so nervous for them.
I just like plain ole' series dramas: gimme Friday Night Lights, Private Practice, Grey's, Chicago Code, The Good Wife, Brothers and Sisters ANY day of the week over any reality show (except, SYTYCD!). Maybe I'm the crazy one....but at least I can relate a little better to the characters on there.
If given a choice, which tv show couple can YOU relate most with?
The ever so fabulous Coach and Tammy from FNL? (they are so real. all the time.)
2. Or these awful people?
Okay, rant over. I just want some good shows to watch during the summer...it seems like all I can find anymore are reality shows. A new one every day it seems.

We are HUGE fans of FNL. You are right ... they are so real and relateable characters. I do admit to watching some of the Real Housewives series but Ian just can't stand it. I have to sneak in a few episodes while he's out of the house :)
