“I am gross and pervertedI’m obsessed ’n derangedI have existed for yearsBut very little has changedI am the tool of the GovernmentAnd industry tooFor I am destined to ruleAnd regulate you

I may be vile and perniciousBut you can’t look awayI make you think I’m deliciousWith the stuff that I sayI am the best you can getHave you guessed me yet?"

TV Networks (Especially Fox): “Quick they’ve discovered our secret. Red Alert!! Change Format! Change Format!”

Was: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX.Quickly Becoming: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus, You Tube

The only reality TV I watch is Total Drama Island on the Cartoon Network. This is working well for me.

I have Dish TV…I notice half hour shows ( sitcoms ) take 35 to 40 minutes. Extra commercials.

The only reality show I watched starts its new season Tuesday on Sci-Fi (I refuse to use their new mis-spelling): “Face-Off.”

What’s old is new. Bloom County did a Sunday strip like this back in the’80’s, and the Monty Pythoners did a cartoon short along the same lines (but about the telly ruining your eyes) back in the 60’s or early 70’s. The good jokes always get recycled!

Yes they are brain destroyers.

Pretty much defines the scope of today’s television programing (or lack thereof)…

I am frequent to use the line, “You can’t fix stupid”, as said by Ron White..Unfortunately, “stupid” is a degree of intelligence, and assumes there is actually a brain to generate the stupidity! In reality, way too many people are totally brainless…

This is definitely VH1

No.The Problem is; How can he go buy shoes when there’s still so much show left!

“Look into my screen..you are getting sleepy….sleepy…”We don’t have to worry about the pod people Invasion Of The Body Snatchers taking us over . We have to worry about what we are allowing ourselves to watch on TV and movies..

The hammer was a nice touch. .

Actually, reality TV shows frequently make my brain feel like it should when the hammer gets through with it (i.e. I’m so ticked I turn off the TV and turn to my favorite books.)

.If I had a hammer. I’d hammer in the morning. I’d hammer in the evening. All over this land. And I would hammer all the TVs all over this land. Newton Minnow was right. TV is a vast wasteland. Now excuse me while I watch my court shows.

I dropped my cable subscription over five years ago. Missed it for about two months, then I started reading more books, renting the movies I wanted to see, and playing the occasional free game on the web.

For the shows I’d like to see, I just wait for Netflix to get each season, block out a weekend, and watch it – no commercials.The $7.99/month I pay for the basic Netflix is well worth the cost.

If you want a REAL reality show, try Television Wrestling!
