TV. Don't You Just Love It?

Television is awful.
You know it is. But we keep watching it though.
It's full of total drivel.
There are a few exceptions; Lost, Rescue Me, 30 Rock and shows on HBO and Showtime.

Other than that our TVs are filled with bullshit like Catching Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, For The Love of Ray J, Survivor Season 147 and all the countless reality dating shows.
Are people's lives so empty that they have to fill it with these (mostly filthy rich) people's boring exploits? Christ! WTF People?
Who gives a shit about Kim Kardashian (unless it's her porn) and Tori Spellings challenges (?) in life?
It makes me wish I could travel back in time to blow up the first The Real World house. They're the fuckers who started it all, aren't they?
MTV and VH1 don't even play anything music-related anymore. They're just full of reality crap.

OK. Before reality TV we were limited to sitcoms and 60 minute dramas and the occasional variety show. Before that we could only watch 5-6 channels. I'm not wishing for that shit to come back. I just want to line up everyone who loves Paris Hilton and all the Kardashians and have them shot. Of course, along with Paris Hilton and all the Kardashians.
Reality TV doesn't have writers. It has editors and angles.

TV's getting worse. Without a DVR you're fucked. We first bought the things to get through the commercials now we have them to get through the majority of the crap that's out there. Try to watch Hell's Kitchen without a DVR.

Even History Channel is going to Hell. Pawn Stars: a reality show about pawn shop owners. What does this have to do with history?
How about Biography Channel? Ghostly Encounters. Psychic Investigators. Urban Legends. What's worse than reality shit? Fake reality shit. Here's a listing of actual Biography episodes this week: Valerie Bertinelli, Melissa Gilbert, Mackenzie Phillips, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner (together), Vanilla Ice, Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Kurt Cobain. Shit. That's just through Thursday.
What insight can we gain through the lives of TV and music stars? Don't do drugs? That's it.
Everyone is too obsessed with celebrity.

Don't get me wrong. I love my TV, as awful as it is. I just try to be more selective.
There is no integrity in TV. Probably never was. Even the news is reduced to soundbites, overbearing opinions and celebrity updates.

Fuck it. I gotta go. Don't want to miss Survivor.
