The Reality TV Rant

My occasional rant about "reality" TV...
First off...there's too much of it, and a lot of it isn't even a reflection of "reality". Most of it is just sensationalist, "National Enquirer", exploitation TV. Mob Wives, Toddlers forced to wear Tiaras and hooker makeup rather than just being allowed to be little girls, Dance Moms dealing with a bitchy dance teacher with mad cow disease, sluts (both female and male) having flower ceremonies to eliminate potential booty calls based on the most superficial things, and so many shows centered around the "real lives" of privileged dregs to society (Kardashians, mob wives, "real" housewives, Jersey Shore losers, ad nauseum...
Admittedly I do watch a number of "reality" shows...but the ones I watch have a purpose other than glorifying the worst that humanity has to offer.  Biggest Loser, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Pawn Stars (Chum Lee still cracks me up), Shark Tank, What Would You Do?, Undercover Boss...there are some in the category that I embrace. However, the amount of "reality" shows on the number of channels nowadays has become ridiculous. Seriously...hog hunters, a tattoo artist competition, exterminators, swamp people, extreme couponers, swapping wives...what's next? A show about people who scratch their asses? Extreme Buttscratch: the Hemorrhoid Edition?!?!? Enough's enough!
