I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I turned into The Lowe Files. I would not say I'm a big Rob Lowe fan and the idea of a reality show focused on him was not really a big draw. I'm also not a huge paranormal show fan. Ghosthunters and all that... big ole meh from me. Still, I tuned in and I'm so glad I did. The true joy of the show is watching Rob and his family. I don't like reality shows. I really don't but I would, without question, watch a reality show centering on this family just doing normal family things although the scary stuff is a fun addition. I'm truly hoping for another season. An unexpected, addictive delight.

Vicious
(2013–2016)
Not everyone's cup of tea but definitely mine.

I went into this one without any idea of what I was in for. I had some time to kill and found this on my DVR so I decided to check it out. I'm the kind of person that will watch nearly anything at least once even if I have no idea what the show is about or who's in it. I put it on without bothering to read the info and was shocked right away to see Sir Ian McKellan's name on the cast list. I love this man. I have never seen him in anything I haven't loved. Then the show started and I found myself wondering what the heck I was about to watch and how the heck it ended up on my DVR. By the end of the first episode, I was madly in love with Vicious.
I get why people are having a hard time with this show. From the moment the first episode started, I wasn't entirely sure what I was watching. It isn't what one would expect to see on television these days. It's definitely hammy and over the top but I think that's what I liked about it most. It's ridiculous and I think the ridiculousness is what makes it so brilliant. All that out of the way, this is not a show everyone is going to love. If you want a well acted, thoughtful sitcom that pokes fun at life but still takes itself seriously in the end, you should skip Vicious. If you're looking for a bit of silly fun, definitely check it out.
