The Real Housewives of New York City

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

I think I reached a new TV lowpoint in my life when I recorded the reunion episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. That show is a complete train wreck and I actively dislike every character on the show (actually, the square-faced-one is pretty funny with her random sarcastic comments) . The women on the show represent everything I hate about New York: Annoying people with too much money, acting like they are superior to us commoners.

And yet, like viewing an actual train wreck, I can’t seem to divert my eyes. I just sit there and focus my hate at the TV, getting angrier by the minute, until I end up yelling random expletives. My girlfriend kept ducking her head into the room and asking, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you what you said?”

“No, I wasn’t talking to you, I was just yelling at the people in the TV.”

This can’t be healthy.
