Underneath & Uprising

1.  Underneath - Alanis Morissette.  I have loved Alanis since she first came around, way back in the 90's.  I was in high school back then and her first album, Jagged Little Pill, was one of my favorite CDs back in the day.  I have always bought all of her albums when they've come out and listened to them on repeat, memorizing them.  While she has somewhat faded from mainstream radio and airplay, she remains one of my all-time favorite artists.  This song is from one of her later albums and is all about changing yourself and being happy with yourself before you can change the world and others.  A good message, everyone should have a strong sense of self-worth and confidence.  Plus it's got a great hook and I just love Alanis.  Oh, and remember, she was an original character on You Can't Do That on Television (see last year's "Y" post here) so that is awesome too!

2.  Uprising - Muse.  Love this!  The beat is wicked.  Throw in the fact that it was used to promote the reboot of the series V (not as great as the original but still pretty cool) and it's a winner.  One that is great to crank up loud so you can feel the bass vibrate through you.  Surely I'm not the only one who does this with a good song?  Anywho, this song kicks and I'm listening to it now as I post.  It's also great to play when you need to be pumped up and ready to take on a big task or event, I mean the whole thing is about being victorious.  Win!

All is well, U down, in Drosche Land.  

St. Elmo's Fire & Secret

1. St. Elmo's Fire - John Parr. Who doesn't love a great Brat Pack movie?  Well, if you weren't born in the 80's then maybe you, but that would just be one of the many things you've missed out on. This is one of the main movies from that era. I haven't seen it in forever but it's a great one. And this song. The theme song from the movie. It's such an awesome and typical 80's song.  From the instruments to the wording to the way it's composed. Just a great throwback. I'll play it and turn it up loud. I think it's slowly growing on the kids!  Up next, the movie!

2. Secret - The Pierces. Maybe you've heard of this and maybe not. If you have a penchant for teenage soap operaesque drama then you'll instantly recognize it as the theme song from Pretty Little Liars. I've mentioned before my addiction to this show. I just can't get enough. I'm caught up via Netflix and am awaiting the addition of the most recent season!  Loving the show and the song I had to download it. It's a great song. Kind of a gothic feel to the music and tone of their voices. I also just love the words and song itself.  Just awesome. But I don't know who "A" is, so don't spoilt it for me?!  :)

All is well, S down, in Drosche Land. 

Spring Break

This year it was laid back.  Nothing special or eventful.  But that's not bad, just life.

See, this year Amy and I had Spring Break on differing weeks.  She was last week and the kids and I were this week.  Bummer.  This meant that we could not plan any trips or excursions.  Such is life though.  

So we stayed at home.  Monday and Tuesday were spent lounging around the house.  I did a lot of laundry, finished grading and report cards (they go out next week), mowed the front and back yards, and watched all of Season 4 of Pretty Little Liars (thank you Netflix).  So, nothing too crazy, but it was nice to stop and relax for a bit.

Amy took Wednesday off so we could all have at least one day together.  So we went out for lunch (a real treat as we rarely eat out anymore) and took the kids to see the new Cinderella movie.  Granted Braeden, in all his pre-pre-teen 8-year-old angst was not as thrilled as the rest of us, but he still managed to enjoy himself.  It didn't hurt that we sweetened the deal with a chocolate chip cookie shake for him to enjoy during the movie.  Jackson is always up for a movie, regardless of what it is.  Stella, ever the princess of the family, is now insisting on a pair of glass slippers and seeing the movie again!    Alamo Drafthouse was giving free admission to teachers for this Spring Break week so we took advantage of that!  Score!  Hopefully that will be something they do in the future and we can plan this to be a regular occurrence.  

Then yesterday and today it was back to binge watching TV shows via Netflix/Amazon/Hulu and relaxing around the house.  I am currently switching between The Slap and Bates Motel.  Equally awesome.  

Hopefully this will be the only year (fingers crossed) that we spend Spring Break apart.  the calendars for our schools are set for next year and we will once again share Spring Break!  We are already beginning to plan a trip to make up for this year's missed fun.  We're thinking Disney World again!  We have been wanting to return since we left last summer so if all goes well in the planning and budgeting departments we will be able to visit Mickey and friends again!

Well, that's it here.  Sounds even less impressive when you write it down but all is well.  It did force us to stop and relax a bit though, the kids have enjoyed the break.  Next week we are all back to normal though so we will see how easily we slip back into routine.  But, until then we will enjoy the last few days/hours of Spring Break.  Depends on if you include the weekend or not?  I do, I think.  May as well make it as long as possible!

All is well, on break, in Drosche Land.

Super

So last night was the big game you know the one. 

Yeah, I'm not really a sports person. Shocker, I know. But Amy and the boys love sports, especially Amy and Braeden. So while the game was on I busied myself doing other things. Dishes, laundry, packing lunches, lesson planning, etc. I also proclaimed myself to be the official social media spokesperson for the family, checking Twitter and Facebook during the game to update and inform everyone of the goings on. You know, everyone has their gift. 

I'm really into the Super Bowl for the commercials and the food. Amy likes to say that I'm an advertiser's dream. Visual, short attention span, easily persuaded, want the newest/latest/greatest. Can't argue there. So they sweetly called me into the room whenever the commercial breaks came, ensuring that I wouldn't miss any of the good ones. 

Budweiser and Dove Men Care made me tear up, not going to lie. Lindsay Lohan was funny in a self-mocking way.  There were many other good ones but everyone seems to be focusing on the melancholy and sad ones, in particular the Nationwide spot. I actually missed this one somehow but have seen it since. Regardless of your feelings about the commercial itself, everyone is talking about Nationwide so it would seem as though it were a few million dollars well spent. 

Then there's the halftime show, another of my favorites. Katy Perry. Lenny Kravitz. Missy Elliot. It was good. The boys now want a giant animatronic lion to ride, and loved the fact that there were people inside the legs moving it. I myself would like a fun shark costume to dance around in, but who doesn't really?  I also want to jam to some old school Missy Elliot so I'll have to dig around in my CDs when I get the chance.  Yes CDs. From back in the day when all off our music wasn't stored in The Cloud. Crazy. I thought the halftime show was awesome and Katy Perry killed it. Well done. 

Last but not least, the food. We eat pretty healthy here in Drosche Land as you know and stick to all natural and/or organic for just about everything. But some occasions, such as last night, call for some good old fashioned junk food. Chips and dip. Pizza rolls (holla). Taquitos. Jalapeño poppers (Jackson has now become a fan and the spicy food lover in me is proud). Yum. It's nice to splurge every once in a while. All things in moderation right?  But now I'm hungry and it's far too late for a snack. 

Oh. And the Seahawks and Patriots played a football game. Apparently it was a good one. The Patriots won. There was a fight. Thus concludes my knowledge and interest in the game itself. 

Regardless of our differing opinions on sports, commercials, music, and food, the Super Bowl provided us with a fun even to gather together as a family and hang out. Isn't that part of the fun of the big day too?  Memories. Good time. How did you spend it?  Glued to the TV for the game?  The commercials?  Hovering around the snack table?  Whatever you did, I hope you had as much fun as we did here in Drosche Land.  Things settle down here sports wise for a while, thank goodness. That is of course, until I lose them all again in about a month to March Madness. Oh well, at least there will be good food again!

All is well, super in fact, in Drosche Land. 

Z is for ???

Well, it is here.  The final letter and final post for this month's challenge.  Another year down.  But we can relive the magic that was April in the forthcoming reflections post.  For now, it's all about the "Z"!  On with the post.

Nope, I'm not missing something.  I don't have a show for "Z".  Sure, there are some out there.  A painfully small amount, but they are there.  However, I have not seen any of them.  Heard of them?  Yes, but that's it.  Do you have a TV show that begins with the letter "Z"?  I don't.

Maybe it's Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane?  Never saw it.  It was only around for 2 seasons, totaling 26 episodes.

Maybe Zoey 101?  A Nickelodeon show that was moderately successful with tweens far before I had children.  But it's probably more well known now because Jamie Lynn Spears (Yes, Britney's sister) was the title character and star until she got pregnant at the age of 16 and the show was cancelled.

Maybe Zorro?  The original from the 1950's or one of its many reincarnations?  You know who Zorro is right?  I do, but was never interested.  Meh.

So, that's all I have.  Can't end the month with a bang.  But that's the case with the letter "Z".  I figured I would not find a show beginning with the letter when I chose the theme but I tried.  Oh well.  We will see what "Z" has in store next year!

All is well, 26/26 and done, in Drosche Land.

Y is for You Can't Do That On Television

Ok, off the heels of yesterday's lukewarm post I am totally stoked about this one.  This show is a bit more obscure so I will forgive you if you are not familiar with it.  Maybe I can persuade you?!

This show is hilarious.  Basically it is a preteen SNL.  A sketch comedy of sorts where all of the actors are teens, so you have that kind of fun humor.  Oh, and it was the 80's so think about all of the hair and clothes.  Oh, and they're mainly all Canadian so you get the fun accents too!  Sounds like a winner, right?  I can't even begin to tell you where you might find episodes.  Maybe YouTube?  Probably.  They were also known for the running gag of sliming the kids with a green, gooey substance whenever they said "I don't know".  Sure there are now reports from the former child stars that the slime was toxic and has had negative long-term effects on their health, but back then it was hilarious.  Well, it still is for me.  

The show is also known for the fact that Alanis Morissette was one of the child actors.  In fact, many of the actors went on to be somewhat well known, well maybe more so in Canada.  Either way it was a great show and if you grew up in the 80's and watched Nickelodeon then I am sure you are familiar with it.  If you have no clue what I am talking about, be sure to head to this website to learn more!  Go ahead and go there now.  I'm done here!

All is well, 25/26 down, in Drosche Land.  

X is for The X Files

Ok.  Honestly, not one of my all-time favorite shows.  But surely you can understand the lack of TV shows beginning with the letter "X".  So, here we are.

Even if you have never seen an episode you can't deny the phenomenon that was The X-Files.  It was groundbreaking, legendary.  When I think back to the show my favorites were the ones about aliens, unsolved mysteries, bizarre occurrences.  The political and governmental story lines were not among my favorites.  I was never too attached to the show but I have a feeling that if I were to start watching it now, as an adult, from the beginning I would develop a new appreciation for it.  Maybe I will one day.  I mean the truth, and the episodes themselves, is out there.  :)  So I guess I will add it to my TV show bucket list, not high up, but on there nonetheless.

What about you?  Enjoy aliens and those plots?  Yes, no?  Remember The X-Files?  Fondly or not at all?  Like I said, not being overly attached to this show the post is short.  Oh well.  

All is well, 24/26 down, in Drosche Land. 

W is for The Walking Dead

Ok. So I have been waiting to write about this show since I thought of the theme for this year's challenge.  I am so excited!  For me, "W" couldn't have been for anything else!

So you know I love scary movies, TV shows, and books. Well, zombies might be my favorite monster. The undead, wandering around, decaying, wanting only to eat my braaaaiiins!  Awesome. Ok, so the zombies (walkers) in The Walking Dead don't say "braaaaiiins" or anything else, but the gurgling/breathing/guttural noises they make are better. There's also something fascinating about a post-apocalyptic world too. No electricity, running water, or any of huge other modern conveniences that we rely upon. Then factor in the fight for your life against the undead. Mesmerizing. 

In addition to the horror factor, this show is also a fascinating look at human nature and what happens when societal norms and government are no more. Deep huh?  I don't see how you couldn't at least know about this show, even if you haven't ever seen it.  And, if you haven't ever seen it, well I can't understand that either.

In breaking with what has become the norm here, I actually am all caught up and current with this show. I love it that much. Thanks in part to my wonderful wife for letting me watch the season finale live and for On Demand for ensuring the episodes are available at all times!  I cannot wait until October when it returns. Until then I will just wait and wait and wait. Oh and read the entire series of graphic novels which I am also obsessed with!  

All is well, 23/26 down and just looking at the flowers, in Drosche Land. 

V is for V

The original.  Not the 2009 revamp.  That one was alright (admittedly though I didn't watch it after the premiere, maybe it's on Netflix?) but this is about the one from the 80's!

Loved it!  Doesn't every little child enjoy a good show about aliens disguised as humans, posing as friendly while secretly plotting a hostile takeover of Earth?  Well, I did.  Sure I was young, but clearly mature and advanced for my age!  :)  Well, at least I enjoyed a good scary movie and/or sci-fi.  It has been so long since I have seen this, but I do remember it and loving it.  Scary reptilian aliens in human suits?  Creepy and awesome!  I don't think anyone else in Drosche Land will share my love of this show, but that is alright.  Maybe one day they will come around.  Until then I remember and now begin the search for it on Netflix.  I think I may even have the original TV movie/pilot on VHS (yikes, a VHS dates me!)!

All is well, 22/26 down, in Drosche Land.    

U is for Ugly Betty

The letter "U" is not a common one when it comes to TV show titles, let me tell you that.  Lucky for me there just happened to be one that I watched and enjoyed.  If it weren't for Betty and her wacky exploits I don't know what I'd be talking about now?

An American telenovella?  Sounds awesome.  I mean, I'll admit that I have never actually seen a real one, other than in passing as I flip channels that is.  But I know the premise.  Drama.  Over the top story lines and characters.  Like a soap opera on steroids.  Score.  I got hooked on Ugly Betty via Netlflix, of course, and fell in love.  Then through the wonder of DVR I was able to stay up to date with the series for the final 2 seasons.  I found the outlandish plots and characters to be entertaining and part of what made this show so enjoyable.  That and America Ferrera, she was hilarious and perfect as sweet, dorky, Betty.  I wasn't totally thrilled with how the series ended, but eh, I'll get over it.

So, did you watch Ugly Betty?  What did you think?  Writing this has made me want to pull it up on Netlfix and relive the series.  Ahhhhh streaming video, how you've enhanced TV watching and my life!  

All is well, 21/26 down, in Drosche Land.  

T is for The Twilight Zone

Ok. This one is a classic. A classic. However I do understand that many people probably haven't seen it since it is so very old. But still, a classic!

A different story every week. Creepy. Supernatural. Mystery. Twists and turns.  Abnormal and normal switched. So many great themes and episodes here. I don't even know where to begin. The best part is, they are all in black and white. Sure, you might think that it ages the show and dates it. But you'd be wrong. I think that the black and white aspect only enhance the feelings and undertones of the show.  Colorization would take so much away from it, I am so glad Ted Turner hasn't gotten ahold of this series. 

Ok, again, I'll admit that many of you probably are unfamiliar with this show. You might know it by name, but that's it. Some of my favorite memories from childhood are with this show. My Dad loved it and I remember watching it with him. I also remember watching the New Years Eve marathon of it every year. Hour after hour of great episodes for nearly 2 days straight. They still do this, I think it's on the SyFy Channel. Luckily you can still find this show on cable every now and then. I highly recommend you give it a shot. It is epic, groundbreaking, amazing. Again, a classic.  Find it now and watch a few episodes. 

Well, what do you think?  Have any clue about this?  Did you ring in the new year with it ever?  What are your thoughts on black and white?

All is well, 20/26 down, in Drosche Land. 

S is for Survivor

The grandfather of all reality TV shows. Survivor. Surely you are familiar with this show. It has spawned countless copycats and inspired many others in the genre. Another family favorite here in Drosche Land.

Amy and I have a history with this show. It benga when we were in college and we were instantly hooked. Regular people competing against each other in the wilderness to not only win a million dollars, but to survive while doing so. Awesome. We even had viewing parties with our friends in college. Good times. Then we graduated, got married, got jobs, had kids. We quickly ran out of time for just watching TV and doing nothing else. We had to be judicious. Some things fell to the wayside. Sadly, Survivor was one of them. Factor in time without cable and a DVR and we just stopped watching. 

However, cable is back here in Drosche Land and, thanks also to On Demand, we were able to find time again to discover Survivor. We rekindled our love for it. Like riding a bike (I can guess since I can't ride a bike (story for another post)) we fell right back in with it. The boys quickly developed an affinity for Survivor as well, enjoying the competitions and gameplay aspects of it all. So, what started so long ago as a fun dive into a new genre has come full circle as we now enjoy it all together. 

So, Survivor?  Love it?  Hate it?  I love some reality TV and of course Survivor comes in at the top as having started the trend.   Think you could survive?  I don't know how long I'd last. 

All is well, 19/26 down, in Drosche Land.   

R is for Revenge

Another confession. Are you picking up on a trend here?  Yes, I'm behind in thinks show too. Makes me sound super busy and important, but it's just life really. Too many TV shows and too little time. Oh well, on with the post. 

So, right from the title you're hooked. At least I was. Revenge. Who doesn't like a little revenge-inspired drama?  I sure do.  A young girl finds out the truth behind a family scandal. Then plots revenge for years, working out every detail to destroy the lives of those who destroyed her life. Winner. That's a lot of anger. Many issues. Wow. I loved the first season and watched it on DVR back when we had one. Then we got rid of cable and I didn't have the time to watch it live. It's on Netflix now so It has been added to my ever-growing list of TV shows to watch/catch up on. In the mean time I follow the previews of the new weekly episodes and wonder what has happened since I left off. 

The glory of this show is that, as with every dramatic guilty pleasure, you can watch wealthy people do things that you can't fathom, let alone ever do yourself. An escape, and who doesn't enjoy that?

So, have you gotten into Revenge?  What do you think?  No spoilers, I have 2 seasons to watch I believe.

All is well, 18/26 down, in Drosche Land. 

Q is for Quantum Leap

Surely you remember this one.  Even though it has been a very long time since this show was even on the air. Travel back in time with me. 

Oh boy!  I remember watching this show when I was little. My Dad loved it too.  How could you not?  Leaping throughout time into different people.  New adventures. Sometimes changing the course of history. What fun. Sure there was a premise behind it all. He was leaping throughout time to find his way back. Honestly I cannot remember how the series ended. Did he ever make it back to himself and his life?  I hope so.  If not then the entire 5 season were all for naught. Oh, and another fun thing. What about his holographic friend?  How cool and futuristic was that for your late 80's/early 90's?  

Anywho, this show was fun. At least that's how I remember it. I'm going to have to head to Netflix to see if it's available. Or was it on Hulu that I found it?  Either way, it's out there so relive it all or discover it for the first time.  Leap back here and let me know what you think. Oh boy!

All is well, 17/26 down, in Drosche Land. 

P is for a Pretty Little Liars

Yes. That's what "P" is for. Don't judge. Read on. 

Yes I'm in my (early) 30s. Yes I'm a guy. Yes I know this show is based on a series of books written for, about, and geared to teen girls. Don't judge. Have you seen it?  It's good. Like a teenage soap opera. In fact, that's exactly what it is. I don't know about you but my high school years were not filled with murder mysteries, stalkers, crime drama, etc. Maybeyours were (yikes), but not me.

I've already mentioned this month that I'm a sucker for some guilty pleasures when it comes to TV shows. This one is no different. I like a good mystery/drama/thriller. It just so happens that this one centered around teens. Sure some of it is a bit outlandish, I mean how do these high school kids get get into these situations and do some of these things?  I guess that's what makes it a good (fictional) show.

So I do thoroughly enjoy this show. I got hooked late so I am forever getting caught up via Netflix, but that's not a bad thing. What about you?  Seen it?  Like it?  Was your high school experience anything like this?  Ha!  If you have never seen it, give it a shot. What's there to lose?  You can always turn it off, but hopefully you won't want to. 

All is well, 16/26 down, in Drosche Land. 

O is for Once Upon A Time

Confession time again. I'm behind in this show. Way behind. But I still love it and it deserves it's post this month. That and there's not a lot of TV shows that begin with "O". On with the post. 

So, fairy tales are the new adult topic du jour.  That and vampires. Who doesn't love a good fairy tale?  Now, throw in a twist on your beloved characters, develop them outside of what you know, give them human personalities, bring them into modern day. What's not to love about that?  This was a show the whole family was interested in when they were previewing it prior to the pilot. We all loved it and watched it together. It was fun. We watched it until the whole twist occurred and they were transported to Wonderland.  That season we got behind. You know the drill. Life, busyness. So we're behind. But I'm still intrigued and can't wait to get caught up and see how the story lines developed and progressed. 

Well, have you seen it?  Like the fairy tale genre?  I know Netflix has this so you could start there. I'm hoping they have it up to where I left off this summer!

All is well, 15/26 down, in Drosche Land. 

N is for Nip/Tuck

Can you believe that we are halfway through this month and the challenge?  Me neither.  The first half was great so let's get going on the second part.  A memorable show to begin it all.

So, it's been a few years this this show ended.  It was on FX.  Remember it?  It was pretty memorable.  Two plastic surgeons, best friend since college.  A thriving practice.  Both men talented and driven.  One driven for the art and helping others (at first) and the other driven by money and the clientele.  Each episode featured one particular patient who needed some kind of plastic surgery for some reason.  The show then focused on that story but there were also constant story lines going on in addition.  

Sure, some of the plots were twisted, shocking, and sometimes far-fetched.  But that was the point.  That was what made it interesting.  For me at least.  It was what also drove the show.  It was good.  Something different, very different.  I wasn't a fan of how they closed everything at the end of its run. but it is what it is.  It was a good show.  Entertaining.  Interesting.  Definitely something you should check out if you haven't seen it.  You may love it, you may hate it.  It's that kind of show.

So, seen it?  What did you think?  Good, bad, ridiculous?  I know it's on Netflix if you want to give it a shot!  

All is well, 14/26 down, in Drosche Land.  

M is for Mad Men

Oooooh, I have been looking forward to today's post since I figured out this theme. I LOVE this show.  Let's go. 

So, the first of two AMC shows of this month and also probably my other most favorite show of the moment, in addition to AMC's The Walking Dead (obviously for "W"). Where do I begin?  Have you seen this show?  It is amazing. I love a good period show (remember Downton Abbey?) and the 1950's and 1960's are fascinating. Throw in the advertising angle (once upon a time many moons ago advertising was my dream career) and I'm hooked. The acting is stellar and the characters are so well developed. I get lost in the story lines so easily. I also love how cultural references are worked in throughout the plot and also influence the story as it develops. It has been amazing to see it change over the past 6 seasons as they deal with all of the many issues and events of the 1960's. Equal Rights, feminism, the race to the Moon, etc.  Amazing.  It is clear to see why it has won so many awards. The cast works so well together yet each one does an outstanding job alone. 

As I write this the 7th, and final, season has already premiered (last night) but I am still getting caught up on Season 6 thanks to Netflix. My plan is to binge on that when I can and get caught up via On Demand with the current season. I'm saddened that this is the show's last season, I will miss it. But I also can't wait to see how they end it and tie up all of the loose ends that have developed over the past few years. 

Again, I LOVE this show and could go on and on about it but I will spare you. What about you?  A fan (how could you not be?)?  Who is your favorite character?  What is your favorite thing about the show?  Just writing this has given me the itch to watch an episode!!!

All is well, 13/26 (halfway!) down, in Drosche Land. 

L is for. Lost

Ok.  Confession time.  I never finished watching Lost.  Don't throw anything.  I just didn't.  Many reasons I'll detail below but I still wanted to include it this month.  So, read on.

I remember when this landmark show premiered.  Amy and I were newlyweds living in our first apartment together.  The reviews and teasers intrigued us so of course we had to watch.  We were instantly hooked.  We were those people totally addicted from day one, living week to week to see what new mysteries would be uncovered.  What mysteries would be solved.  What answers, if any, would be given.  Where were they?  Dead?  Alien abduction?  Hidden island?  New dimension?  You name the theory we discussed it as we eagerly watched and looked for clues.  We did this for a few seasons.  However, time went on.  Life happened.  Life meaning hurricanes, moving, dogs, new jobs, and children.  You know the drill.  We grew confused and tired of the plot twists and unanswered questions.  New story lines popping up without clear resolution for those we'd been following.  We got frustrated.  We got, for lack of a better word, lost.  :)  So we stopped watching it.  I know, I know.  I still followed it in previews and in the news.  I remember when it ended, part of me wanted to watch but so much time had passed.  We were so out of the loop.  I did watch the final few minutes though.  Sometimes I can't resist a good spoiler.  So I know how it ended but I won't spoil it for you though in case you were like me and just have never committed to finishing it.

It is on Netflix, the entire series.  Maybe I'll start over again.  Rekindle that old flame.  Get caught up and relive it all on my own terms, as my own busy schedule allows.  Maybe.  Maybe then I will enjoy it more.  We will see.

What about you.  A fan of this show?  Did you watch it for its entire duration or did you give up on it?  Any other shows you were addicted to but grew apart from over time?  Did you ever give it a second chance?

All is well, 12/26 down, in Drosche Land.  

K is for Keeping Up with the Kardashians

Ok, so maybe I'm slightly embarrassed about this show. But just slightly. I mean, who doesn't love some good, pointless, tacky reality TV every now and then?  I know I do. 

I kan't imagine you don't know who the Kardashians are. The thought that you might not is just krazy.  Tired already of the random k's in place of the c's?  Sorry, I just had to. So, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe. They're something else. Then there's Kris.  Definitely a polarizing show and group of people. But I do find the show entertaining, in a crazy way. Like it or not there is a niche out there for reality shows about famous people who are famous solely for being famous. Their trials and temptations. The ups and downs of being wealthy and all of the drama that comes with it. Sure it's probably scripted in some sort of fashion and sure it's mindless. But sometimes that's what you need. Well, maybe that's just me. 

What about you?  Kardashians fan or tired of them?  Either way you have to admit that their show has had far-reaching influences on pop culture and society. Like it or not.
