Reality TV---Ya, Right

The thought of having to watch a 'Reality TV' program makes me sick. If the producers of this type of trash think for one minute that any normal inteligent human being would really watch that dripple then they are dumber then I thought. How can anyone call those shows 'reality' shows. Those shows are a real joke.

Why would any one want to watch the obviously stagged behaviors of individuals that, for the most part, have no truely redeeming qualities. I know a teacher that used to get upset when she missed an episode of "The Apprentice". Give me a break. Or "Fear Factor", now there is a worthless program. Watching people doing some of the most disgusting thing that anyone can think up.

Better yet, lets follow a family around that is going to pretend that the cameras are not there. I don't believe it, do you?  I guess the newest one is going to follow the two tennis playing sisters around.  It will be as phoney and rehearsed as all of the rest.

Are the networks so desperate that they  think for one minute that 'real people ' would watch that garbage?  Not me, not on a bet.
