"Reality"? I Don't Think So!

I honestly believe anyone who wants a reality show can have one!   The offerings this season even top the garbage that was put out there last season!  Had I known we could've lived out our lives in front of a camera and made money off of it?  "Action!  Take 1!"

The Kardashians got nothin' on us!   Well, maybe Kim's best known ass-et is better than anything on this old girl but we've had plenty of drama in our family, for sure!  (Who, with kids, doesn't?)  I happen to think my kids have a lot more sense (and class) than Kris Jenner's.  But there her kids are - getting paid to parade around, with their stupid problems, for all the world to see.  Can people really be that shallow?  I guess they are -as that show is one of the higher rated ones.

There have been days in our house that rivaled "Hell's Kitchen".  I don't scream as much as that guy but I've had my share of mishaps that probably would make great fodder for TV.  Just ask the grandkids who've witnessed exploding hard-boiled eggs...or inedible cookies!

Take a look in my closets or our basement and tell me I couldn't be on "Hoarders"!   3 sizes of clothes...obsolete computer components...  Who knew that hanging onto stuff for years could land you on TV?  Shoot!  I missed my chance!

And when did a pawn shop become something we're so interested in that it deserves its own show?   "I'd like $1000.00 for this"?  Well, I'll give you $100.00 for it".  "Oh, okay!  That's a deal."   I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box, but I'm thinking that guy was either desperate...or just plain dumb.

Dating shows...survival shows..."real housewives"... You name it!  It's on.  But someone needs to tell 'em that what they're peddling, isn't really "reality".  It's scripted garbage.  

I know everyone has different tastes in television viewing but I sure don't care to be a voyeur, peeking into the dysfunctional lives of others.  I guess, if those kinds of shows have any merit, it's that they make us feel better about our own lives.  At least, it does that for me.

I've gotta go clean a closet.  See ya!
