survivor:colonial

Mr DF and I watched Colonial House last night over chinese take-out. Granted out attention gravitated from the TV to the food to the chit-chat. But it felt cheap to me that PBS was using a format so beaten up already. I understand they might attract viewers that normally would not watch public television and the premise is extremely interesting. So I will withhold my final judgement. For now.

We also saw the last 3 minutes of The Swan and, to me, it was more than I should have bothered to. You could see everything that was wrong with THAT idea.

But we managed to have fun.
