I've taken to watching TV at the gym when I'm doing cardio stuff, but I can't change the channel on the TV, so I'm pretty much a captive audience for whatever is on at the time. Without any effort, it seems like I catch almost every episode of both Nanny 911 and Supernanny. The parents featured on these shows make even a semi-irresposible guy like myself feel like I might be a fantastic parent. This might not be the best message to send...letting people think that, as long as you have an IQ higher than 43, you'll be a nominee for parent of the year.

The other night, I actually ended up watching American Idol, which I generally try to avoid (though it seems to be on for two hours almost every night of the week). I should mention that everything I watch at the gym is closed-captioned, which sort of takes the point out of watching a singing competition. The show is not scripted, though, which seems to make things pretty hard on the person who got stuck typing the words that appear at the bottom of the screen. My favorite typo last night was when they referred to a song which I assume was by Brian McKnight, but was credited to Brian "Mechanic" Night in the running transcript.
