Enter the world of the "Black Ink Crew" and meet the girls and guys that run the only black-owned and operated tattoo parlor in the heart of Harlem at 113th St. and Lennox Ave. The employees are a tight, but totally dysfunctional "family." For many of them, this shop is the key to turning their lives around, and for some of them, it's their first legitimate job off the streets. To the people who work there, Black Ink is more than just one of the most famous --and infamous-- tattoo shops in the country...its home.
Shows that once were the highlight of my week that have lost their edge and now I either watch out of commitment to completing the story, due to habit or just sheer boredom.
This list is in constant development according to highly rated and reviewed TV shows that I've happened to miss (I was potentially under a rock somewhere). Also, includes up and coming shows that could be firm favourites.
Once upon a time, some of these made for riveting viewing. But over the years, the falsified storylines and sheer desperation to remain relevant have turned these housewives back to hoes.
