Television Snippets

Spoiler alert: Fio's noticed HGTV has a new gimmick going on with House Hunters.  The chosen house is the one the buyers dis the most, as if it being unfurnished wasn't enough of a give-away.

Back to the old days, remember The Brady Bunch?  Six kids--three blonde little girls to maintain the illusion that Florence Henderson's hair color was  natural and three rowdy little boys to maintain the illusion that Robert Reed was heterosexual.

More info on Bill and Jen's dwarf baby.  Apparently the new addition to The Little Couple is a boy, three years old, and from China, which makes Fio ponder circumstances--China will have finally reached its own stride when dwarf American-born babies are adopted over there.

Expecting and Anticipating?

Fio's heard that The Little Couple, the TV show featuring dwarf physician Jennifer Arnold and dwarf entrepreneur Bill Klein, is coming back to  TLC in mid-April.  Fio hopes there's a good reason the show has been MIA and its stars incommunicado for the past year and a half.  Like maybe a dwarf baby?

Bill and Jen

It's Tuesday and The Little Couple is back.

Fiorella loves following the lives of Bill Klein and Jen Arnold, even if they are rich as Croesus and getting richer by the episode, which sometimes irritates her. Talk about profligate spending--they never stint themselves: food, clothes, vacation trips, whatever. Of course, she's a doctor, he's a business owner, and they have a highly successful TV show so they can afford dropping a thou in the gutter every time they turn around.

Fio is not a dwarf, but the circumstances of her life have been rough from time to time. Maybe that's why she enjoys watching The Little Couple. It's nice to see good things happening to nice people. But that's how it should be for everybody.

Bill and Jen $pend Money

Fio is a fan of The Little Couple, the reality show about 3'2" Jen and 4' Bill. It's interesting to watch them dealing with their lives as dwarfs in a world geared toward people a lot taller than they are. Jan and Bill both come across as charming and articulate, and, besides, she has a great dress sense.

But sometimes Fiorella is overcome by the fatuousness of the couple's upper middle class lives. They seem to spend most of their time indulging each other, most recently during their third wedding anniversary. Come on now--aren't the $800K house (which Fio bets is up to a mil by now), the designer clothes, and the expensive vacations enough already?
