Guilty Pleasure TV Show #1 - Snapped

At the top of all of the things I could be choosing to do (play with Stella, brave the tornado force winds to workout, read, knit, clean, pack for NY, etc.) I have spent the last hour searching the Internet for a clip of Whitney Houston screaming "Bobaayyyyyy" at the top of her lungs beckoning for her husband. YouTube, Nothing. Google Images, nothing. BravoTv.com, nothing. So, I will continue to lead the charge that she did indeed scream that over and over at the top of her lungs during "Being Bobby Brown" with no proof to corroborate my story.

Thinking of how awesomely bad that show was (and I was ridiculously led astray that a second season would exist - sort of like how I've been led astray for five years that Marky Mark was going to reprise his Italian Job role in a movie titled "The Brazilian job" that is seemingly a no-go), I am turning to another show that is a guilty pleasure, and that is the Oxygen show "Snapped." While it is not even close to being in the top ten of favorite past or present TV series, it is something I have started to tape and watch just because it makes me feel way better about myself.

The fact that I even watch the Oxygen channel is something I never thought possible. Here's the premise of the show: Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, in its 7th season, profiles the fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And, if they did, why? From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped.

The best parts of the show: The awesome heart thumping theme music coupled with the easy mystery to solve: you always know who did it (yes, that's right, it's the crazy lady!) I like to watch this right before bed, it lulls me to sleep but I'm afraid might lead to my insane dreams I have from time to time.

It's also pretty funny to watch them interview the real people who were involved with the case.
A lot of them are still in shock about what happened (and for some reason there's always a Sheriff "Uncle Bubba" involved).



Snapped. WOW!
