As you can see, we've been away for a time. Sandie came here to visit me and we were so busy racing around Los Angeles that, well...we forgot to blog.

Not much is going on in the world of reality TV anyway. Once the magic of Adrianne rising from trailer trash all the way to America's Next Top Model victor wore off, I was slightly depressed. My God, is there NOTHING on TV? Do the networks believe we are THAT stupid?

Unfortunately, they do. For Love or Money, Marry My Dad, Cupid -- clearly, they are counting on the collective IQ of America being somewhere below the official level of moron.

And when they aren't insulting our intelligence, they are pushing mediocrity. Amazing Race isn't BAD -- at times it is even fun -- but it's certainly not brilliant. AI Juniors is not horrific but do we really need another teeny bopper group? Dear God, NO.

There are a few bright spots. A few things to keep us going. The Restaurant was a great premiere episode. Mainly because the chef is very very very hot. Plus I love to watch food being cooked. Last Comic Standing often has me laughing out loud. Proving that people trapped in a house can be truly funny (instead of freakish and sad the way it is on Big Brother #53). And of course, the best of the best is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Queer Eye features 5 self-described "fabulous gay men" who emerge from an SUV to do makeovers on unattractive often filthy straight men and their unattractive often filthy homes. This is A+ television.

How could one not love a show that features a man in an ascot peering into the crotch of a pair of boxer shorts and saying "I think there's been a car accident because I see skid marks."
