My newest TV obsession!

I'm obsessed w/ TV... Much like my unhealthy fascination w/ purses, I can't get enough TV. Cable TV, Local TV, you name it, I watch it. Lately I've found that I can't get enough of "17 Kids & Counting", which has NOW been replaced w/ "18 Kids & Counting" because these nut job parents just had their 18th child! Call me crazy, but haven't they heard Eight Is Enough? (If anyone gets my reference here, you get a gold star!)

Anywho, so the whole family is ultra conservative & I mean ULTRA. I watched a repeat where the oldest son, Josh, who is like 20, proposed to his girlfriend. They've been COURTING...that's right I said courting & haven't even KISSED! They are saving that for the wedding day to make it special. While I think waiting to have sex until you're married is a wise decision...kissing? Really?! When he asked her to marry him they just hugged & said I Love you about a gazillion times. It is kinda sweet though because they ALWAYS hold hands & make goo-goo eyes @ each other. They showed them going out to eat after they got engaged & they were trying to eat w/ one hand because they were holding hands w/ the other!

The other thing I love about it is that they make NO apologies. They have their views & they are not ashamed about it! I think that's a very had thing to do in this day & age w/ all the peer pressure, etc. I mean, geez, they have 18 kids (& yes, she gave birth to every last one of them!) & you can just tell by the way they talk about them & their interactions that the love EACH & EVERY one of the them just as much as the one before. Which I think would get real old after about #3...just kidding.

All of their names begin w/ "J". IS there a better letter? They named the new baby Jordyn-Grace. It's not bad enough they have 17 freakin' names to remember so they give her 2 names?! Actually, there's another one that has 2 names. Joy Anna & there's a Johannah. Talk about your tongue twisters.

If ya ever have the chance to sit down & watch TLC, check it out...it's very addictive!

And if anyone needs any suggestions on what TV shows I think are worthy of your viewing pleasure, let me know. I'll give ya the low down!
