That new reality show on Animal Planet called **Dog Days** , which is about a group of people who frequent a dog park in NYC. They have waaaay too much time and money to spend on their dogs, and enroll them in things like Dog Yoga, have dog birthday parties and take them to an indoor dog swimming pool. In any case I watch religiously because one of the dogs is a Bulldog, which is the kind dog I have. I’d be happy if there was a channel called the Bulldog Network with nothing but screen shots of bulldogs all day long, so I watch Dog Days just to “oooh” and “aaah” over Cyrus the bulldog. He’s too cute for words.

**That 70s Show** because it’s so corny and Ashton Kutcher is delicious.

I originally started watching **Son of the Beach** just because Howard Stern was the Executive Producer, but I now watch it because it’s so cleverly bad.

**America’s Funniest Animals** or something like that on Animal Planet. The host is beyond dorky and his jokes are so terrible I don’t even know how they can justify the badly-placed canned laughter. But I love to watch animals do funny things, especially if one of them is a bulldog 🙂

I liked how they didn’t trust R. Lee Ermey with live grenades.
