Remember when we were kids and summer TV meant reruns all summer? That idea forced us to -- gasp-- play outside. But the networks have figured out a way to rid that foolish notion of fresh air from our minds; we now have brand new shows in the summer. The kids and I have a few favorites that I am in the mood to dish about.
Does anyone watch The Mole? Is it a TV show on Mondays nights that Chris and I love!
A few years ago the original Mole was on, and Chris and I were hooked. However, it was a few years between shows, so we were glad to see it brought back this summer. Imagine my shock when on the first night, I actually knew one of the contestants! (I taught with Mark when I taught English at Mukwonago.) Now, we are down to the final four, and our "who is the mole?" theories are getting deep. I have been saying for weeks that I think it is the heavy guy (Ralph??) that is The Mole, but I am not sure. Chris thought it was the pretty blonde genius, but she left two weeks ago. Do you watch it?? What do you think?
The boys have two favorite shows as well, American Gladiators and Wipeout. American Gladiators is like a blast from my past. Last week the show introduced a new gladiator and it looked like a scene from the old WWF days. The show even has Hulk Hogan as a commentator. The boys are absolutely hooked! I do believe that Wipeout, however, has usurped the spot of Number One in their hearts. Wipeout is a show based on watching people take the most tremendous, ridiculous falls. The show also shamelessly uses "big balls" as their props, so they can use deadpan humor to describe the falls. The boys have belly laughs and huge grins during this entire show.
My last favorite show is Last Comic Standing. This is definitely an adult show. The boys have tried to watch part of it, then I find myself trying to explain something that I don't want to explain. Not good. Yet, I get a kick out of having a little belly laugh myself at 9 pm at night. I rarely get that!
Summer TV forever changed with reality TV, and we are hooked.

I love the Mole too! Funny that you know Mark - Scott thinks he's the mole. I on the other hand am leaning towards Paul, the New Yorker. Don't know why, just a feeling. I never pay attention to all the little "clues" they give so I'm going purely on gut! However, Nicole makes me a little suspicious but she's too obvious. Who knows!?!?
I know- I agree about Nicole. I keep telling Chris that I feel like she is too obvious to be the Mole, but she has done so much sabotage that she certainly could be. . .We'll see!
