Reality TV Redux
As if Dancing With the Stars is not enough, we now have So You Think You Can Dance. Oddly, only one is a Fox show.
I've read that dance instructors in Toronto have seen a boom unheralded since Saturday Night Fever. This new trend probably assures that ball room dancing will soon be a be an Olympic sport. This is not to say that I hate dancing. I just think that reality TV and dancing don't mix.
Which reminds me that I saw a few minutes of that show with the Jenner kids and David Foster (I'd look it up, but I am too lazy). I never knew that it would be possible, but they have ripped off the Simple Life, another show from the brilliant minds at Fox. That show sucks.
I just want to say that I'd be happy to star in a show like that, but I am far too poor. I think a reality show about librarians is long overdue, especially since we are so misunderstood. If anyone at Fox is listening, give me a call.

One could argue that ballroom dancing is the original reality tv, as pbs has been airing the championships for years.
ReplyDeleteTell me, though, don't you think, with amount of fake-n-bake skin evident in these things, it seems odd that they're enver sponsored by tanning salons?
Seriously, love to watch, love to dance, could live without the hype.
I thought sports was the original reality tv.
ReplyDeleteIf librians get a show I will need to lobby for accountants to get one.
hmm...i wonder...if you had a camera follow around librarians all day, how interesting would it really be?
ReplyDeletePerhaps there is a dark underworld of scandal, intrigue and licentious behaviour, even in libraries...
Accountants? Do you know something I don't?
ReplyDeleteDear Anon, Are you speaking from experience?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I'm not sure they could do much worse than they are now. Let me know if you get a timeslot. I might peel the thick layer of dust of my TV just to see you!
