The fourtieth TV show: #776 Keeping Up With the Kardashians
This is pretty odd. We've joked a lot about this show and how we feel forced to watch it as it's on the list. We started with a fair amount of apprehension and annoyance at how long this would take us.
Now, I cna't say I love the show - I will be happy that I won't need to watch another episode of it ever again - but it's not quite as bad as it seemed. Kim, the center of the whole thing, can seem quite boring at times. Her family livens it up a lot, though. Khloe's more sarcastic attitude and emotional involvement resonated with both of us and her comments on the situation really made the show a lot more entertaining - her and Caitlyn (Bruce during the episodes we watched) are the most interesting people on the show in that they make the family seem more human. Scott adds to that later as well.
The best episodes, then, were the ones where it's about the family, where it's about family hanging out and annoying each other. Seeing Kris buy chickens for fresh eggs - and the annoyances those cause - is far more interesting than worries about big photo shoots. We watched the big wedding special - most of it passed us by because the arguments on whether he was part of the family worked well.
It was fun enough to watch, and worth the time we spent on it in the end.
