I'm in a very Wet Hot American Summer mood today, so guess what that means?!?!? Video and song!!! Yay! Twice in a row. Yeah, I know it's exciting, but let us move on.
Right now I am loving me some bad T.V. Take Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods for example. It's a piece of shit, it's so so very fake, the girls all blow and could never handle eight shows a week as the lead in any show, yet I find myself strangely fascinated by it. I seriously have not missed one episode yet. I eve watch re-runs :yikes!:. So my point is, what draws people like us to these shows? If we know that the quality blows and we know the premise is lame, then why do we keep watching? Is it because we secretly love to be bitchy and complain about the people on these shows? I'm going to have to say yes there. That has to be the answer because if not, are we simply just that easy to please? Now don't get me wrong, there are some quality reality T.V. shows out there. Take Bravo for example now. This network seems to be the only one that can produce a reality show people aren't ashamed to say they watch. I have not missed one episode of Project Runway in all four seasons. When Top Design was on, I saw every second. And though it's not a personal favorite of mine, Top Chef is pretty damn good too. If we have these options, why do shows like Tila Tequila: A Shot At Love 2 get all the publicity? Because they are stunt shows. Shows that are planned out for us to be drawn in as if we were watching a bad car accident. I admit, I was an avid fan of Shot at Love season one, but where can you go from a show like that? Who cares if you "find love" because if you gave your last relationship with someone you were "in love with" that small of a chance just so you could get more air time, then you obviously don't really want to find love. MTV's one reality television show that I have loved every season and stayed loyal to is The Real World vs. Road Rules Challenge. Whether it be The Gauntlet, The Inferno, Fresh Meat, whatever, it is quality entertainment. I mean talk about getting everything in one show. Action, drama, romance, retards (for you other fans, yes I am talking about Evan and Kenny both of whom I am in love with). What more could you want? Anyways, I'm going to give this topic a rest, but I'd love it if you'd comment. That's what these kinds of posts are here for....a sort of discussion forum. Have at it.
