Learn from the tube

If you are like most of the people out there in the world, who remain hooked to the tube all day long, [that partly includes me, ask my wife], there is a new channel TLC [The Learning Channel] that might actually teach in addition to actually entertaining you.

Though they are mostly reality shows, some of them are really interesting.

1. What not to wear -- well for total fashion disasters like me, with totally out of shape bodies, it gives a good idea of what not to wear ... [before you go all metrosexual on me, I accept it, so chuck it]

2. Take home chef -- one person gets a celebrity chef to come to his/her house and cook a special meal for the family...

3. Honey we are killing the kids -- How the eating habits and sedentary lifestyle of the modern American generation is killing them

4. Flip that house -- the latest thing in town, buy a old and in bad-shape house, put in some money, renovate it and earn rich profits on it

5. Overhaulin -- Take a classic car, [again] in bad shape, renovate it, pimp it a bit, and give it back to the owner, all without his knowledge.

6. While you were out -- Renovation of a room within a small period of time, when the people living there are out on a vacation.

Well, now I know you guys must be thinking, he really watches too much TV... Well yeah it has increased a bit now that am in US, but some of these things are really interesting

PS: I just bought a house, and was trying to help my wife furnish it and get the interior work done and "while you were out" gave some nice ideas [PS: Mrs Cynic - if you are reading this, I know I didn't do much. Thanks for taking care of it all While I was out 'pun intended'].
