Since being confined to my couch and watching TV on the endless amounts of channels that Fios provides, I have unwillingly adapted new shows into my regular viewing rotation. Sadly, these shows are neither good, intellectually stimulating or even posses a story line. Instead these shows have selfish people, crazed fame whores, and mind numbing conversations. So here is my question- why in the hell do I (people) watch crap reality shows? Sober shows are the worst shows. Now I am not just talking about drugs and alcohol. People can get high/drunk off of power and money. There are so many things out in the world that people get addicted to and that is why, we as viewers continuously watch these train wrecks. I hate admitting that I watch these shows- but I will still HATE ON them.
Example one: The Sarah Palin Show
She is Alaskan, has a funny accent and half the show is watching the wildlife of Alaska....if I wanted wildlife I would have switched to National Geographic and the Discovery channel, there is nothing that Sarah Palin could show me that I wouldn't find more entertaining then on those two channels. PLANET EARTH IS THE ISH!
Example two: The Jersey Shore
I know this show is terrible, how can you support a show which displays people at their social worst? How can you take people who have nicknames like, "the Situaiton", "Snooki", and "Jwow" seriously? How in the hell did these people gross over a couple million a year? The Situation is pretty much one step away from being a rapist. He claims to get all this booty, but man, after watching that show, the man has to work really really hard for it. (no pun intended) He may have a nice body, but listening to him "charm" girls into coming home with him, is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. It's terrible. Snooki, is just dumb. I know she means well, but dumb is dumb and so that in itself is an addicting thing to watch. Their drunken escapades had made them the highest paid dumbasses.
Example three: Any and ALL of the Real Housewives of city X,Y,Z
I hate admitting to actually watching any of these episodes. But why GOD is it so fascinating to watch over privileged women gossip about other over privileged women all the while in their over priced outfits, that could finance a village in Africa or Detroit. Ugh, so here's to you Real Housewives - I want to punch you in the face for your insane spending sprees, your petty augments and your mightier then thou attitude. Good for you, glad you banged someone who could support your manis and pedis. Ugh.
