I'm not a big TV watcher, but don't get me wrong, I really do like watching a good movie or a good TV program. The reason why I don't do it more, are two fold. 1)There are not alot of 'good' ones out there, and 2)when the good ones are on, I may not be home. And, I'm not one to sit around just to catch a favorite show. So, thank goodness that my boyfriend has Tivo and introduced me to the awesome show "Top Gear".Here's what I like in a show--I like to learn something (it can be super technical too, as long as it's interesting) , I like to laugh, I like seeing other parts of the world (why I've always prefered BBC News and Public TV -they acknowledge there is a world outside of the United States), I like some adventure and I love good wit and sarcasm. So, though any guy would assume the average girl might not like a show that is primarily about cars, I LOVE this show. It has all the above and literally packs so many funny, technical, interesting things into just one hour, that you feel quite satisfied after giving your cherished downtime to a program like it. I literally laughed my butt off beginning to end during an episode last week. OH- and being a big "Biography Channel' girl, they also have fun interviews with celebrities as well. Thankfully void of the same late night snore, cliche questions. They actually have genuine fun!
I always compare spending time watching a good show vs a bad show with this metaphor. It's like a meal. A crappy show is like fast food for your brain, you feel like crap after you watch them. A good show, is like a good meal. You feel full and satisfied and you are glad you spent your time and money (ie- brain energy) on the meal.
This is a good meal show!
Check it out on the BBC, Monday nights @ 9 pm.
