Unreal

Can you believe the garbage the tv networks are trying to make us swallow? I can accept a few reality-based programs such as Project Runway, that involve a modicum of skill and are cleverly-produced. But now every night, every channel is amateur night! Bad singers, bad dancers, and wanna-be pirates? The latest concept is a show based on forgetting the words to karaoke numbers. In this Paris Hilton generation, we are now glorifying a lack of talent. Not to mention it saves the network a fortune in professional writers, actors, and production values. No wonder Nick at Nite and classic shows on DVD are so popular. In 20 years, will anyone be flocking to buy the complete season set of "So You Think You Can Dance"?

I'll be at Barnes and Noble.
