Television Shows I Can't Believe I Love

Dogs, cats, rats, birds. Trash, rotting food, broken appliances and creepy dolls. Rom after rooms one pilled higher than the next. These hoarding shows are disturbing, but I cant bring myself to reach for the remote. I am disgusted and fascinated, worried and amused. Sad and satisfied.

What a rush! First of all its amazing to me that there are enough people with this horrifying issue that we can have multiple shows on different networks with enough material to run more than one season. Secondly I still don't understand how some people can not see the problem that has literally consumed them. And lastly why would anyone feel the need to express this deeply personal issue on national television to someone like me!

I love it! I can NOT get enough, I love to watch people express their filthy habits in such an embarrassing way. When I flip through the television guide and I see "Hoarders" or "Buried Alive" I almost lose it. Silence everyone my show is on! As I sit there indulging myself in this sick addiction of my own I get lost. I wonder into a world where I am almost living in the situation. I'm crazy I think, for enjoying the stories of others pain and suffering.

When they show the sad women who have gone through unimaginable trauma, which ultimately lead to the hoarding, I cant help but think about some of the places I have been in my life where this may have been a problem. 15+ years ago I didn't think much about this but as I look back now I remember not wanting to go to certain friends houses because it was so messy, so cluttered. Avoiding the question "Wanna come over after school" and ultimately ending friendships as not all lives were lived by my standards.

I guess this is a true issue, one that shouldn't be joked about or made fun of, but the entertainment value is sky rocketing. I love hoarders, and all they joy they bring me. The program entertains me week after week , even the reruns are worth my time.

This just goes to show you how wonderful peoples disgusting habits are, how the most vial things growing fungus under piles of trash help bring me pleasure. And how hundreds of dogs living together in crowded quarters puts a smile on my face. Its possible I have a problem, fit for the show "My Strange Addiction".
