Is it that bad that I watch "The Hills"?

Since finishing school and working a normal work schedule, I have discovered the joy of watching trashy TV. I was never hooked on any TV series for long. There was Heros and Lost, but I stopped watching after the first or second season since I never knew when they aired. But now, omg, I've been watching The Hills, The City, Million Dollar Matchmaker, Bridezilla, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kell on Earth, and the occasional Real Housewives. It's not a religious following, but usually when I turn on the TV, one of those shows is on. None of these shows are ever really good. And sometimes, they're quite annoying. But oh so entertaining. What is it about these shows that get some of us addicted? For me, it's being able to see what other people's lives are like even if it is mildly scripted. The glamour and glitz. The ridiculously beautiful landscape, houses and people. The fancy schmancy restaurants, the fashion, and of course, the drama. A part of me wishes I could live that life of luxury and beauty. But what really keeps me watching is the fact that it's just plain old eye candy. I can sit there and watch it and not have to think about anything. Everything on the screen is pretty. That's it. I don't have to worry about the plot. Don't have to worry about the characters. Just sit there, and watch it. No need to think. It's trashy, yes. But give your brain a break. And that is my guilty pleasure.
