Per­son­ally, I’m dis­gusted at the amount of “real­ity” TV shows that are clut­ter­ing the net­works. Among them are the most pathetic attempts at cap­tur­ing the so-called real­ism of life. Mr. Per­son­al­ity is a show that has men in mas­quer­ade attire attempt­ing to per­suade the woman into ador­ing him through his “per­son­al­ity”. Come on now, by mask­ing the guy we are to believe that his true col­ors will shine? I don’t buy it one bit.

I can’t stand watch­ing these shows. Last night, Amer­i­can Idol was on and it was the first episode I actu­ally sat through. Let me admit that par­tially it’s not a bad show at all — reminds me of Star Search meets Can­did Cam­era. Expect in this case, Simon is the spot­light judge of the show who gets the most atten­tion in the media.

Now, the net­works are for­mu­lat­ing a new scheme — real­ity movies! Don’t they know that we’ve always had real­ity movies in the form of doc­u­men­taries? Movies like the recently released ‘Real Can­cun’ are try­ing to mar­ket their “real­is­tic” approach to films. Why are these kinds of shows so appeal­ing? The answer is sim­ple: peo­ple love watch­ing peo­ple. But really, I’d rather watch the the peo­ple com­ing through the medal detec­tors at the air­port. You talk about fun, that’s fun. Next time your at the air­port, sit in an area where you are fac­ing the secu­rity sec­tion. It’s hilarious.

You know they’ve gone too far when you read about an O.J. Simp­son real­ity show in the works..

It’s mind-boggling.
