Hehehee :) Well.... Okay, I admit it... I've seen some soap operas. I used to watch "Beverly Hills 90210" occasionally.... I think that's the only one off-hand..... Oh, and the occasional "Melrose Place" as well. Don't tell anyone, okay?
WHY did I watch these? Ummm.... Okay, I'll come clean. Some of the female characters were quite attractive, and I was a young man full of hormones, and with maybe too much free time.... Let's just leave it at that. :)
On Jerry Springer....

I know what you mean.... :) Well, I do watch occasionally, I must admit partly out of curiosity. But sometimes I just can't, because I get pretty grossed out too. It's not a regular thing.... Honest!

Ahh... I used to love the Wrestling when I was a teenager. Then I discovered it was fake! (Yeah, I know, I'm pretty quick, huh?)
Once I realized it wasn't real, it wasn't very interesting for me any more.... Some may not like this, but it's the truth....
I guess it's why professional boxing is so popular.... (Destructive sport that it is....)
I have a love-hate relationship with boxing. On one hand, I'm ideologically against it, because people's lives DO get destroyed, and occasionally a boxer is killed. These aspects appall me.
On the other hand, I find it fascinating. It's a contradiction, I know....
Thank you Julie for sharing your honest thoughts....
Best wishes :)
