A good book better than these TV shows

Sit, relax, watch some television:

“Wipeout” - Families get sucker punched, soaked and slammed against giant balls.

“Gates” - Drama about a desperate vampire housewife.

“Cupcake Wars” - Completing chefs have grand dreams for a tiny pastry.

“Get an Afterlife” - Deceased model now stuck in a large body.

“Bachelorette” - Ali finds the love of her life in two months.

“Whale Wars” - Documentary series about the battle of illegal whale hunting.

“Monsters Inside Me” - A veterinary worker develops a moving wound in her chest.

“Diners, Drive Ins and Dives” - Fieri samples a bacon burger, not beef, but lamb.

“Oprah,” “Dr. Phil,” “Grey's Anatomy” reruns.

Maybe a good book instead.
