After some of the offerings of recent times I wondered low low television programming could go. But now I think the answer has arrived.

And the sooner that the world's loosers get over reality TV the happier I'll be I can tell ya's. Cheers. |

Another reason about all the TV I watch is the morning and evening LOCAL (not national) news and the ocasional baseball or football game. And CNBC business news in the background during the day if I'm in the house. I boycott both MSNBC and Fox political shows due to the high level of bovine excrement.

Reality shows are a farce. I gave up on them after the first survivor show. That old navy seal could have killed all of them in a heart beat while they slept. But when you can vote somebody off because they are percieved as a threat is BS. The show should have just dumped them on the island and let the weakest beg to quit when they reached the breaking point. Last man standing wins. Commercial TV is getting more stupid as time goes on. One reason I watch History, Discovery, and the Military channel. And then not all of those shows are great either. [/quote] Old James |

At this point i'd like to feel smug, thinking that no British TV channel would broadcast such tat. Then i remembered Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter, Geordie Shore, TOWIE, the list goes on... Seems there's no bottom floor in hell. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

May the fleas of 1000 camels infest the underwear of all responsible for realitiy TV shows and talent search shows. ^Each. I have never watched Survivor, Apprentice, or any of the talent searches. I watched Amazing Race a few times, but didn't get into it. The only one I liked was The Mole, and only when it was celebrities. Oh, and I think I watched the first episode of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! It was even worse than I expected.

I have not had a working television here at home for probably 10 years or more. Don't miss it. I'm always online here or elsewhere, and can get all the news I need locally and nationally via the net. When I go to Lori's on the weekends, we are usually renting DVDs to watch. Maybe a couple of network thingys like Falling Skies or Once Upon a Time. Most of the other crap I can do without. And the only reality of 'reality shows' is they make me wanna puke. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Cops! is a reality show. All the others are combo soap opera game show. May the mosquitoes of the tundra suck all the network executives dry of blood. |

I don't even like the cooking elimination-type shows. The only cooking contest show I like is Iron Chef, because of which I suffer through Next Iron Chef just to know how the new ones got to be iron chefs. Sunday night, I caught a couple episodes of Naked and Afraid on Discovery Channel. Its reality is questionable. Maybe it's just the editing, but it seems like once a particular struggle has been conquered, it never comes up again. They only have to kill something and eat it once and then they are never starving again for the rest of their 3 weeks. In one, the woman conveniently found clothes washed up on the beach. Water bottles too. So convenient, it made me wonder if the producers planted the stuff for her to find. However, if that guy really did get a nasty sun burn on his personal parts, then he has my full sympathy.

May the mosquitoes of the tundra suck all the network executives dry of blood. Original. (c) 2013 Gary Charpentier. Anyone who has seen the mosquitoes go after a caribou knows that is much worse than a pack of fleas. |

May the mosquitoes of the tundra suck all the network executives dry of blood. Fortunately this area is devoid of both, caribou too. Though Digital TV is nice and sharp here, all 10 channels of it, all of it local to the Los Angeles area. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
