The latest of PBS’s “Reality” shows starts this week – **[Regency House Party](http://www.pbs.org/previews/regencyhouse/)**.

I am so there for this – reality show plus Regency romance plus a dating show plus PBS (British accents) – what’s not to love?

Is anyone else planning to indulge?

If I can remember to tune in on Wednesday night, I’ll be joining you in the indulgence. I’d much rather watch a show like this than The Bachelor!

Oh oho ohohoh I’ve been waiting for this one! Can’t wait to see it. I’ll be glued to my TV Wednesdays for the forseeable future!

I had people over last night, and forgot to tape – I’ll catch the rerun Sunday afternoon and get back to you.

I finally got the first of the two DVDs from Netflix, and I want to kill the hostess. She’s a bitter hag, I swear. I understand her role in the proceedings, but she needn’t take such glory in squelching everyone’s slightest enjoyment in anything.
