The writers strike promises me, as you say, more high quality reality TV shows like the Very Very Creepy "Kid Nation," or the Very Very Weird "Dog The Bounty Hunter," and I can do without the heebie jeebies from either one of those.<BR/><BR/>I figure, cancel the cable, play more video games with my wife, read more books, buy the shows I like on DVD...AFTER the writer's strike gets sorted out. <BR/><BR/>Easy. :)Peter Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17450924500401351569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30094179130496212.post-62832740964821970822007-11-08T01:36:00.000-05:002007-11-08T01:36:00.000-05:00Hey Virginia...It's rich DARK Chocolate!

I loved it until that one was over. <BR/><BR/>Maybe these strikes will help ALL writers as people and producers will now know that they cant run over the writers!Jerry Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750277118543531489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30094179130496212.post-86279105652634346652007-11-08T01:32:00.000-05:002007-11-08T01:32:00.000-05:00Oh noooooo!

I admit to watching the first few seasons of the "real" first reality show "The Real World," but that was a long, long time ago. I hope the WGA writers get their concessions, because the last thing we need is more content-poor reality TV. On the up side,maybe people will start reading more, going outside more, actually interracting with reality. <BR/><BR/>Ooops...gotta step off of my soapbox now.

Hmmmmmmmmm?<BR/><BR/>:D<BR/><BR/>I despise reality shows because in general they are so NOT reality, but mere exploitation. That said, I watch Tyra and the model wannabes as well as those nekkidish girls next door with some regularity. I am not interested in shows where people have to eat bugs or live with slimy things or sell snakeshead chowder to passersby. My favorite reality shows are the real estate shows on HGTV and TLC. Those? Amuse me. And I learn stuff.<BR/><BR/>Good post, Jerry.Virginia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493643681622551814noreply@blogger.com
