Day 40 - Hillybilly Hand-Fishin' ?

As a rule I generally avoid most reality shows currently on TV. I am proud to say that I have never watched the "Bachelor" or the "Bachelorette", and I've never even given a second glance to the "Housewives of Whatever Town", and I have no interest in watching any basketball, baseball or football wives' show. And I have never watched Jersey Shore, though with all of the continual promotion of its cast I do recognize the names Snooki and Paulie D. "Keeping up with the Kardashians" will have to keep going without me as a viewer. Having said all that, I must admit that I find myself absolutely sucked in by a few reality shows. I have been known to watch "Hoarders". I am fascinated by it, and it makes me feel better about my own housekeeping skills. I watch, "What Not to Wear", as it is nice to know that there are folks out there with worse fashion sense than I. And I just found one last night, which sounds ridiculous, "Hillbilly Hand-Fishin'", but I was totally intrigued by it. Not that I would want to participate in a sport where either a hand or a foot is used as bait for landing a 30 pound catfish. I may never watch this show again, but to be honest it did hold my attention for one hour.
Like I said I really am not a proponent of reality shows, as I would rather be entertained by a great story line with good writing. Hard to find these days Thankful for DVDs, as Boston Legal and the West Wing never disappoint.
