TV Junkie II

I did a little research online before the "TV Preview" Friday night and found out it was a scam. Apparently, they have been "previewing" the same two television shows since 2001. One being "City" staring Valerie Harper which aired in 1990 for a few short months. Instead this was market research for the commercials shown during the television shows. Glad I looked into this before we wasted an entire Friday evening filing out surveys on what kind of paper towels, deodorant, and shampoo we use.


Since we are talking about TV, TLC always gets a quick laugh from me with their show titles. - TLC has two new shows coming out this month.


Shalom in the Home will follow Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a family and relationship counselor, as he helps families create a peaceful and happy home life.





Honey We're Killing the Kids! offers a startling look at the causes of America's childhood obesity epidemic and issues a critical wake-up call for parents. Using state-of-the-art computer imaging, nutrition expert, Dr. Lisa Hark, gives the parents a frightening look at a picture of what their child may look like at the age of forty, if they continue current dietary habits. (The pictures are from the British show.)
