My Strange Addiction Blurb
The new and interesting TV series, My Strange Addiction, featured on the TLC Network, is anything but short of its name. The show follows seemingly normal people in their everyday routines and exposes their bizarre and eye-twitching Obsessive Compulsive habits. Such habits featured in the series include a constant appetite for couch cushions, toilet paper snacking, and the chronic need to be in or near furry animal suits. I kid you not, there are people in the world that cope with stress in the most peculiar and kooky ways and this show brings these people into the limelight 30 minutes at a time.
Sister Wives Blurb
Just when we thought that Hollywood was running out of ideas, some corporate mid-level genius came up with this little gem of a show. The program can be seen exclusively on the TLC network; it follows the lives of radical- by radical I mean an extremely rare sect- Mormons who indeed practice polygamy. Hopefully we all know that polygamy is the practice in which a man can have more than one spouse at one time, and in this case, the show focuses on the relationships between the wives. It is very interesting to see how the minds of these women work because they do not see it as a competition of who can win his affection, rather a team effort to keep a happy family and home. The program really brings the concept of polygamy to the public eye and helps us get a deeper understanding of what it really is all about and the mindset behind it all.
Extreme Couponing Blurb
This program lives up to its name in that it is extreme. Shoppers who splurge in the triple digits sometimes get away with barely cracking into the double digits. Incredible, no? Many believe the show to be about how selfish and stingy some people have become but I believe it shows great skill. These crafty consumers spend hours on end clipping coupons from papers and flyers just to save a few cents on an item here and there but what we forget is that it all adds up in the end; those cents amount to dollars and save you a bundle of cash. Now, my problem is that I do not have the patients nor do I possess the will power to clip hundreds of coupons to save five cents on a gallon of milk and one dollar off a 24 pack of toilet paper, however it truly does make a difference in your budget. I believe that these shoppers are not greedy, rather frugal. The economy isn’t as it was three years ago before the stocks fell in October 2008 and times are tough for some people. Coupons are an obvious solution and with some skill and determination, these people featured on the program home managed to turn it into a science, better yet an art form.
