Reality Isn’t All It’s Cracked UP To Be…
Posted by PaulJan 13
I really hate Regis Philbin.
I mean, really, really, really, hate him.
It’s all his fault!
If it wasn’t for him and that AWFUL “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” we would never have been subjected to the scary, snake and snail eating, exhibitionistic, back-stabbing Tribes of “Survivor”.
And what about those briefcases over on ”Deal Or No Deal? Can someone PLEEEEEEEEEEASE tell me how Howie Mandel got his own TV show
and I did not?
I mean, really people, c’mon.
And who thought 25 golddiggers vying for the for the five carat Harry Winston heart of an over tanned (and that’s a lot coming from me) over pumped, over self aggrandized “batchelor” (or vice versa) would be a hit?
Really, Melissa may have gotten her heart broken, but at least she did get to go on a REAL TV show.
Then there is “The Biggest Loser”. Excuse me, but 400 pound has beens have their own TV show…what’s happening in Hollywood?
Joan Rivers and Donald Trump; haven’t we seen enough of them?
And Jon and Hate Kate Plus Eight, haven’t we seen enough of her them?
And what about Dr. Drew? Heidi Fliess, bad girl, bad face lift, bad language, bad drug habit.
Who needs it?
Sometimes I long for Miss Kitty, we all knew she was a hooker, but Matt loved her anyway.
And what about the Cartwright boys?
Where are shows like that?
I could go on, but I have to set my TiVo for real shows.
I just hate it when “American Idol” comes on at the same time as “Dancing With The Stars”

I like reality shows where they either actually have a talent (Project Runway, Top Chef, American Idol) or where they truely have to suffer (Survivor). Can’t stand big brother, I’m sorry but we’ve all lived with people we didn’t so much like, um, college anyone?

I don’t much enjoy the genre of reality TV myself…possibly because I don’t have cable. But once I saw a show called “My Big Redneck Wedding” or something like that, and it was AWESOME! I’d TiVo that!

We get old DVD series sets from the library all the time… that’s how we choose to watch! But then again, my daughter just told someone, “Up your nose with a garden hose!”
Oh, and Jenny, I 2nd MY BIG REDNECK WEDDING. I think you can watch it online at cmt.com. I blame Emily for mentioning it on your blog!

Do not, I repeat, do not knock Survivor!!! And Biggest Loser is one of my favorite shows, go figure….
Got to admit thought, I too miss the oldies like The Donna Reed Show, I was absolutely in love with Paul Petersen, wonder if he’s still alive???
Howie gets on my nerves, the germ thing is too much to take sometimes. Go ahead, get sick, build some immunitites for heavens sake!!!
