Reality Tv, not so real !!!

I hate to use this abbreviation but OMG, when is enough going to be enough. Are we that uncreative as writers and producers that we have resorted to the copy cat syndrome of unscripted television and law enforcement programs? Here we go, this is going to be very opinionated.

I had the television on last night and saw this tall handsome model like cat driving a Maybach Excelero 2 ($450,000 car) with a light color suit, an open silky Banana Republic looking shirt, sunglasses by Dolce Eyewear and get this..........bangin', awesome hip-rock music in the background with the wind blowing and everything is rolling in slow motion raising this dudes swagger stock to unimaginable heights. Come to find out throughout the show that not only is this guy a detective with which what appears to be unlimited jurisdiction, he also knows how to utilize every piece of forensic technology known to man, has at least two different work affairs going with the hottest latina and black chick ever. I end this paragraph by stating: It would be an honor to be arrested by this detective. I could only be so luck to get hemmed up by a cop that resembles the Dos Equis most interesting man in the world.

Now, touching the food shows like Cake Wars, Chopped, The Next Food Network Star, Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, Man vs. Food ( I actually like this one), and the obscene amount of 1/2 hour cooking shows. Why are chef's running around town trying to get recipes from different locations and have it all cooked up for some out of work celebrity judges? I would like to think that chefs have everything they need in the kitchen to make what I ordered. I know for a fact that I will never order a life size cake of a motorcycle and will most likely not order seared pigeon in a white creme sauce with a white wine reduction, a side of mango chipotle battered squash and lamb tar tar. Steak and Cheese hero, a pint of Blue Moon and call it a day, add a side of atomic wings and that's a wrap.

Jersey/New York house wives, I'm not even going to go there! This is the most stupid show to follow and the entire network is dedicated to it. Why are people watching these people act a fool when they themselves could be out acting a fool? Are we living our lives through these other people? Its not like I haven't had friends that act like "The Situation", Pauly D, Ronny, Snooky and whatever the other whores names are from the Jersey Shore. We just never got paid for it. Am I a hater, ABSOLUTELY! Without question.

I grew up young watching The Electric Company, Bob Ross, A little league baseball program that helped enhance skills on the field, the Bionic Man then graduated to the Dukes of Hazard, Chips, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Soul Train, American Bandstand until we went state of the art and got a BETA tape player. At that point we could watch Rocky as many times as we wanted.

Today its 12 different cop shows, cooking, reality living and teenage shows that survive off sexual content. XBox live, texting, twitter, facebook and flicker. So much for experiencing life when you can just google it and get yourself some perceived experience.

This topic can easily go on and on forever so I'll end it like this: Wife Swap, what son of a bitch thought it would be a good idea to take away some kids mother and give him another one? Lord help us.
