Everytime we both have the day off and really decide to do nothing we end up watching these awful television shows, which of course usually ends up being part of a marathon. I mean I have sat thru way too much America's Next Top Model, What Not To Wear, Bridezillas; the list goes on and on, each one worse than the last. And now it's Jon & Kate Plus 8. But this one is different. This one I didn't physically want to hang myself. It's kind of endearing in a way. Kate is anal to a fault and treats Jon like he's one of the kids, and Jon is the typical American middle-aged man, overly concerned over his receeding hairline and the next time he'll be able to fit in 9 holes. And the kids are cute and surprisingly not obnoxious. I found myself laughing and awing and being in a general state of amazement over their day-to-day lives. Throw in some hamburgers and Weis cream and you got yourself a day off for the books.
