Did anyone watch "Downsized"?

On WE, airs originals Saturday nights. I caught a repeat Tuesday - well, like 15 minutes of one - and I know exactly why these jackholes are poor.

1. Not one of that gaggle of eleventy kids over 14 is working. They were all hanging around the house on Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning.

2. They're renting a house in Anthem, a posh northern suburb of Phoenix. 

3. They pay the 10% surcharge to use the Coinstar machine instead of rolling themselves.

4. No one keeps track of how much money is left on the food stamp card. 

5. Processed, packaged food after processed, packaged food. If none of those kids is working, someone can be making gravy and biscuits from scratch for pennies on the dollar, yo. 

I may tune in again simply to feed my superiority complex.

    I caught some of it and was yelling a lot.  Those kids spent the afternoon dumpster diving for what $30?  Hell, you can make that babysitting or waiting tables.

    I can't believe the mom was dumb enough to tell her parents they don't need help when they do.  The shower timer killed me dead too.

    Oh, I missed the shower timer. Although, that is a good way to kill bills in PHX.

    It was sort of the way he did it.  No telling he just put a 5 min timer on it and let the kid find out while they were in there.  Then he told the girls they could shave in the sink.  I'd like to see him get his leg up there.

    I wanted to watch this, but I'm concerned it might just piss me off, like Teen Mom does.

    And BM, you're up mighty early this morning!

    LS, I was up at 4, not breathing. I plan a nap any second now; Bacon's off to school. Hopefully H will be home in time to pick her up.

    Oh no. I hope you feel better soon.

    A nap is definitely in order.
