Marla,
I haven't watched this but I definitely agree with your opinion on the other shows... I rarely watch any serial TV other than the CSI series (and even that is getting too much into the emotional drama when I just want to know the forensics, lol). The only TV I really enjoy watching is BBC America! The humor is so dry and hilarious and people look NORMAL, i.e., not everyone looks like they workout for 6 hours a day...
Cheers,
Marie
