My new favorite show...

There are really only a couple of things I religiously watch on television, and most of them I don't have a problem admitting to. I have always watched the Bachelor/Bachelorette -- something about it makes it hard to turn away from. Kind of like a horrible car accident that you don't want to see, yet you can't help but look anyway. I don't always admit to watching that one.

I will admit to watching Oprah every single day of my life, however. I rarely watch it when it actually airs (ahhh the wonders of Tivo...) but I do watch EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. If it's something I'm not interested in, I'll delete it, but because I love me some Oprah, I watch just about every show. My husband doesn't get it, but that doesn't surprise me. He says that Oprah is trying to "Oprahtize" America -- whatever that means.

So my new favorite show is actually a lot less light-hearted than the Bachelor/Bachelorette and Oprah are. It's called "Intervention," and it airs on A&E on Sunday nights. They typically feature two individuals who are dealing with addiction of some kind, whether it be to drugs, food, gambling, etc. They follow the individuals through several typical days in their lives, and eventually the individuals are intervened upon by their family and friends, which is the whole point of the show. The addicts believe they're taking part in a documentary about addiction, but really the show is structured around their interventions and whether or not they'll accept the treatment plans they're offered. It's a very interesting show... it makes me glad that I've never faced addiction of any kind.

Unless of course you consider watching Oprah an addiction ;)
