I don't like reality shows and have never watched them, but I'm addicted to 'Real Housewives' because it's authentic old-time soap opera reborn!

I love the 'Housewives.' I don't watch 'American Idol' or 'X Factor.' I guess I don't like network reality: I like my Bravo; I like documentary programming - I love 'Intervention' and some things on TLC more than others - but the 'Real Housewives' to me are really revolutionary, in terms of giving camera time to women of a certain age.

I confess I sometimes sneak a peek at 'The Big Bang Theory.' I chuckle at their antics. But I cringe when they portray physicists as clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to picking up women.

Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer.

I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife.

I'm a housewife: I spend far more time on housework than anything else.

I'm a TV addict, and I personally really enjoy reality TV.

I am an astronomer, and my job is to look to the heavens to better understand the universe and our place in it.
