I am officially declaring war on reality T.V.
I absolutely hate it! Ever since the first Survivor, I have never been a fan of reality T.V., and it pains me even more that it is my biggest competitor today!
Networks are now turning to all reality show lineups, as they're cheap to produce and people will do anything to be on television...like competing for the love of someone who looks like The California Raisons. Why pay for the stars of a sketch comedy show (hint hint) when you can take 12 strangers off the street, stick them in a mansion and have them fight to the death.
The premises are getting more and more silly. RuPaul has a drag queen reality show? Not that I'm against drag....but a drag queen show? Is the demographic of people who are interested in drag large enough for a show? Real Chance At Love? You got to be kidding me! OMG even the weather channel has a reality show?
Perhaps I'm biased? I mean I am trying to get a sketch comedy show, but networks are stuck on the ball sack hairs of reality television. Maybe I should conform and make my own reality show. It'll be a reality show about my hate for reality shows. I'll even fake some on-screen drama and wrestle my television set.
On another note, I'm tired of people asking me to do reality shows about them! Every time I meet someone, the first thing they say is "Yo, you should do a show about me and my friends. W'ere crazy!"
Charles Manson is crazy! You're just an average person like me.
Now I'm not saying your life is boring, because we all have those "WTF?" moments, but I'm not following you around for 2 weeks and then sifting through 400 hours of footage to put something together that I'll never watch.
Sadly the onslaught of reality shows will continue. We only have two choices of shows: reality or some type of criminal/medical drama show.
At this point I'd rather watch a show about a rotting banana.
Oh well, I'll just continue doing my boring ol' sketch comedy.
