My Cheese

I really like the TV show BLOOD TIES. Does anyone else out there watch it? It's on Sunday nights, on USA or Lifetime. I think it's Lifetime. Anyway...

The show is cheesy. Well I THINK it's cheesy, but I'm not sure what cheesy really means. I remember Jennifer Cruise calling her romance novel BET ME cheesy in a speech she gave at a conference. That really cheesed me off. It's like apologizing for writing romances and Jennifer Crusie has never done that. She's defended the genre admirably.

But I digress. So cheesy, hmm I probably write cheesy books, but given how much I like cheese, maybe that isn't so surprising.

I guess BLOOD TIES might be considered cheesy because it's has a cliche love triangle. Although the two men in the heroine's life are different in that one is alive and one is dead. That keeps things interesting!

So does anyone know what cheesy really means? Does anyone else watch BLOOD TIES? If not, what's your cheese?
