But then I realized reality tv is actually worse than that.mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09118917937640357317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43839486612303446.post-84246551822592151412011-06-07T13:20:44.057-04:002011-06-07T13:20:44.057-04:00I watched a documentary about Temple Grandin (prod...I watched a documentary about Temple Grandin (produced by the BBC). When they asked her what she thought about reality TV, she said something I'll never forget. Reality TV, according to the world's best animal behaviorist, teaches people how to be rude to each other. <br /><br />Damn. How true is that? Look at freaking Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant, even that horrid Jon and Kate Plus 8 (when it was still on). None of those people are remotely redeemable.<br /><br />I don't mind a competition but I hate that a game show is considered reality TV when it's a game show. I used to think that none of these shows are realistic; but as I go about my day to day business and see more rudeness in people and the ever growing sense of entitlement I think, yup, these shows are reality based.<br /><br />It sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43839486612303446.post-15316873378738072292011-06-07T02:28:37.535-04:002011-06-07T02:28:37.535-04:00"Everything is strategy and subterfuge and be..."Everything is strategy and subterfuge and being fake. No one is being straight-up." Wait, that's NOT reality? :) Kidding. I think. Anyway, I'm sure that "Modern Family" MORE than made up for having to tolerate that drivel. Now that's a brilliant show.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485448859799399653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43839486612303446.post-6554393165348693672011-06-06T13:31:43.415-04:002011-06-06T13:31:43.415-04:00I think you just blew my mind.

I found your blog b/c I was reliving how much I loved Sassy as a teen, and then I was delighted to learn you live in the town next to mine (I'm in Verona) and now I realize from this post that you are married to Dalton of EW, who cracks my shit up all the time with his hilarious writing. I'm having a totally weird moment here, comprehending the awesomeness of all that. I know, it's just your normal life, but trust me, it's awesome. For me. <br /><br />And while I don't watch a ton of reality TV, I do partake of a few classics, like Survivor.
