...or do other people under the age of 80 also enjoy this show?
I've discovered that I have a ridiculous love of the show Antiques Roadshow. I should state that I'm not really an antique person. I don't actively seek this show out. But if I turn the TV on, and PBS is Antiques Roadshowin' it up, I CANNOT RESIST. I must watch, and squee at the things that turn out to be worth huge sums of money. And then! The people are so happy! And it makes me happy to see that. A lady just brought in a painting she'd bought for $400 and had restored for $600-900. AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE BY ONE OF THE FIRST HAWAIIAN ARTISTS TO PAINT IN A WESTERN STYLE, AND HE ONLY DID LIKE 5 OR 6 PAINTINGS. AND THEN IT WAS WORTH $100,000-$150,000!
And it made me happy, and she cried, and I cried on the inside out of happiness for her.
I'M WEIRD.
