I’m not heavily into popular

I’m not heavily into popular culture in general, and, in particular, I’d never seen a “reality” television show. But a week ago my wife and daughters were eager to watch Joe Millionaire. I saw it with them and thought it was very fun. Tonight my wife and I were working on dinner when I said, “Wait a minute! Isn’t this the night Joe Millionaire is on?” Sure enough. We watched it again. It was highly entertaining; at the end Evan narrowed the competitors down to five. Next week they’re all going to Paris. I don’t draw any particular conclusion from this, other than the fact that the program brings the concept of a “guilty pleasure” to a whole new level. I don’t know, maybe I like it because it reminds me of my own single days. Right, guys?
