You know, I had the same opinion about it when Rho started watching it so often. But many of the shows are rather interesting, and funny too (particularly Alton Brown shows and Iron Chef). And you actually learn things (like learning how saltwater taffy is made on Unwrapped). And Rho has gotten some great recipes that she's tried here at home with success.
Trust me, it can be addictive. Warch, if you're ever in town, or if I'm ever in MN, we'll get together, get drunk out of our minds, and watch Iron Chef. :)
Oh, two new shows on TLC that are great stuff: Full Metal Challenge (co-hosted by Rollins) and Beyond Tough (hosted by Ice-T). Some people might be screaming sell-out, but Rollins and Ice are so damned cool that it doesn't hurt their street credo. Besides, Ice is already on L&O: SVU (and he is a muthaphuckin pimp on there) and Rollins was funny as hell in
The Chase.
