I know this isn't recent, but really! This newest show just blows my mind. "Here comes Honey Boo Boo"  Seriously?

That and "Four Weddings" "Long Island Medium" "Toddlers and Tiaras" "19 kids" ........................ad nauseum. What can you or I learn from these programs?

I remember when it was first offered. I was very excited. A learning channel?! Great! I seem to vaguely remember quality programs.

Too bad it went the way of most major networks. Reality shows that suck.

The History Channel has done the same thing. Discovery channel, too. Image

Have you seen the ads for Honey Boo Boo? It's an embarrassment to the South, to self-respecting rednecks and to the US. Image Duck Dynasty, Swamp People (or whatever it's called), Pawnshop Brokers.......they are nothing but parodies of ignorance who play it up for the camera.

I wonder. Do people watch this shit so that they can feel superior and make fun of others? Image

All reality shows are trash.  They are also scripted.

It's not just the south.  Jersey Shore?????  OMG, only one of them is actually from NJ.  The rest were NY actors.  It was bad enough when everyone thought we were a state of Carmella Sopranos.  And now we are Snookis?!??!!

lol kathy, true! Any of the "real housewives" makes me want to puke too. Image Haven't seen a real housewife amongst them. You know, the ones who struggle daily to juggle the bills, budget for food, cook and clean for their family?

I still love Deadliest Catch. Can't script an ocean.Image

I enjoy a few "trashy" shows, actually. No biggie. Last night we were watching a NOVA show about string theory. So it all balances out.

Hubby watches Through the Wormhole religiously.  Needless to say, I've never seen it.   In fact I don't know if my TV's ever been to the Science Channel.
