GREEK's Back... And When Did I Turn Into Tween?

Three worrisome things happened to me this afternoon.

(1.) I read the renewed reports that the guillotine is officially down on the sylphlike neck of NBC's "Lipstick Jungle," and I was actually a little bit sad.

(2.) I saw on my calendar that tonight is the return of ABC Family's "Greek," and was actually a little bit really excited. (See S3 sneak peek above).

(3.) I nodded vigorously in non-verbal agreement when I got this text from my sister: "ugh. i hate that i just got chills from 'the hills' trailer."

Is it time for an intervention? The only non-despicable things I've been watching these days watch are sports, "30 Rock" and the occasional "60 Minutes" segment, which I was also embarrassed about until I read that everybody's doing it these days. It's like I'm on an all-cotton candy diet, with the occasional wheatgrass smoothie randomly thrown in.

Thank God Joshua Alston -- he of TV-critic fame -- is around for times like these.

ugh. i feel like you only watch good stuff. what's the worst thing you watch on tv

oh, Jesus. "ANTM," "Full House" reruns (seriously), "Real Housewives of Atlanta," "Making the Band 4," and last but not least, I am a HUGE "Maury" fan. Huge.

Phew.
