>If you know anything about me, you know that I am a HUGE fan of shows like The Office and Ugly Betty. And OH how I dream that Arrested Development was only “brilliant” without “canceled” being tacked on. Summers are always a wonderful time for fun in the sun, but are always a miserable time for television.

In the past few weeks I have found myself getting really excited about the season 2 premier of “Shear Genius,” and I can’t quite figure out why. What is it about Bravo’s “reality” shows that gets me all in a tizzy? I do love Top Chef, but given my culinary interests, I’m not surprised by my affection for this show. I am not a professional hair stylist. I can barely get my hair to look acceptable before rushing out the door in the morning! Why do I love Shear Genius? I just don’t understand…

Whatever the reasons, I was glued to the TV last night (thank God for DVR…no commercials necessary!) watching Shear Genius. I’m hoping Daniel (the cute little boy from Dallas) will win. I think he’s great. Maybe these stylists will keep my TV on this summer while I wait for The Office to return. Christ knows I am chomping at the bit to find out about Jim and Pam AND the love triangle between Dwight, Angela and Andy. OH – and I would really like to see Michael give Jan the boot she deserves, and date Holly instead.
