EW has a fun article about pop culture New Year's resolutions, much more my speed than regular resolutions! One thing remains the same though: you're probably not gonna keep 'em either way. The link for the article is below (check it out), along with some of my favorite comments from readers (and some side notes from me!). I love my EW family. And for the record, I don't feel comfortable making some resolution to give up anything pop-culture related. Should I dump American Idol? Maybe, but I'm adopting a wait-n-see policy. Are there other shows i could or should dump? Sure, but I'm not gonna. You can't make me. So much good (and yes, bad) tv, so little time. You can kiss my dvr-addicted bum.

My fave comments:
*After 20 dramatic seasons together, I’m officially breaking up with The Bachelor/Bachelorette. And I mean it. We’re through. I can do better.
*To stop feeling guilty for watching crap reality. I’m 19 and my favorite film is Citizen Kane, I can indulge in some crapola if I want to.
*Along those lines, I’d love for 2011 to be the year for people to quit judging those who watch Jersey Shore. It’s crap, we know, okay?
*Good one, Tracy. Mine is actually to stop watching all the crap reality shows, but like Annie, I know I will never keep this resolution. Ha!
*My resolution is to stop believing I can find and capture criminals ala Lie to Me, Criminal Minds or NCIS:LA. I am way too much of a wuss. In a similar vein, I also need to stop believing I am capable of diagnosing myself. Thank you Grey’s.
*my DVR needs to be knocked down a few notches on my list of importance in life. maybe more than a few. (Sidenote from Regina: This should probably be my resolution as well, but I'll be damned...)
*#1. Learn the choreography from each one of Lady Gaga’s new music videos in a timely manner.
#2. Branch off from my karaoke golden standard of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and try new power ballads.
#3. Resist the urge to incorporate lessons learned from “Toddlers in Tiaras” into my everyday life. (Sidenote: This was posted by someone named "Doug." The fact that it's a guy makes it that much funnier. He sounds like a superfun gay. I love "Total Eclipse!")
*Stop pretending that I just happened to catch Jersey Shore/Real Housewives/The Bachelor while on my way to classier programming.
*I will stop eating ice cream while watching The Biggest Loser. Instead, I will watch Glee and eat it then.
*My New Years Resolution: I resolve to spend less time hating myself and more time hating others. I get more done that way. (Sidenote: not pop culture related, just damn funny.)
*1. I’d like to sit out the next season of Dancing With The Stars. At the very least I will not watch the results show.
2. I will boycott Bridezillas.
3. I will only watch Biggest Loser DVR-ed and fast forward through the weigh-in and extra boring challenges.
4. As much as I love HGTV and Food Network I will not get sucked into so many shows, i.e. Chopped, Design Star, Cupcake Wars etc…
5. ABSOLUTELY no more Road Rules/Real World Challenges!!! Man I’ve wasted a lot of time on those. (Sidenote: regarding #5, Amen...but I can't & won't give up the Challenge!)
OMG, two posts in a row! The one about hating others is definitely funny. And I like the ice cream one too.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel guilty about watching Jersey Shore and Real Housewives. They are crap and I know they are crap and they are also entertaining, and I'm not apologizing. I want the OC one and the NYC one to come back on. I can't stand the Beverly Hills babes. Ugh. $60,000 b-day parties for their kids? That's even worse than NYC and OC.
I can't get into Jersey Shore myself. I do watch Jersey, Atlanta & DC Housewives. I've seen a little NYC & BH at the gym (closed captioned, so I had to read it). The $60g b-day party was absurd! I don't apologize for any of the crap I watch. I watch Mad Men & stuff like that, so it all balances out.
ReplyDeleteI watched some of DC Housewives. It was funny how they ended up universally despising the couple that (maybe) crashed the White House.
