    Monkeys, Grails, and Beautiful People

    A few interesting TV shows have come to my attention and I thought I'd pass them along to you with Eva's Stamp of Approval:

    1- LOVE MONKEY - Too little, too late... I am guilty as are all the other deviant TV watchers who let a little gem like Love Monkey get cancelled. Fortunately for those of us who have fallen in love with this show, VH1 has scooped up the whole season, and as of this Tuesday will be showing unaired episodes at 9 PM. We will never know what will become of our beloved Love Monkey, so I'll cherish these episodes.

    2- GOD OR THE GIRL - I know the title sounds like a gimmicky game show, but this A&E documentary reality series, chronicles the life of a group of twenty something Roman Catholic men, who are deciding whether they are called to the life of priesthood. The show gives you an insight to the difficult and confusing decisions these young men are facing.

    3- 8TH & OCEAN - Okay, I'm embarrassed to say that on occasion, I watch this new MTV reality melodrama, my guilty pleasure. Not only are the male models nice eye candy, but the vapidity of their conversations perfectly scored by latest in pop, rock and hiphop reduces me to a chortling mass. I sense a new college drinking game in the works with Teddy dropping the following line a few times an episode:"I'd buy her dinner." This frivilous piece of fluff is a nice way to blow off steam after a rough day.

    So these are some of the shows I've been watching. They may not be Emmy nominated television, but they are both thought provoking and, of course, funny. Check them out and let me know what you think!
