One of my favorite TV shows is “The Soup.” They watch this kind of garbage so I don’t have to, and pull out the funniest parts. Plus, they are deliciously snarky.

I saw an ad for “Hurl” the other day. Talk about pathetic.

My wife and I have a date every Tuesday night for Hell’s Kitchen. I like Survivor Man. Bizarre Foods. Man Vs. Wild. Discovery Channel. History Channel.

I hate ABC though.

Has Reality TV Hit Rock Bottom?

I doubt it. No matter how low they go, they will just keep digging.

Hurl, no thank you. Help, I’m trapped in a Japanese Game Show and the US version of MXC are both ones I’m looking forward to. Curse the evil that pits the premier against Hell’s Kitchen final tonight!

Reality TV won’t hit bottom until they start showing YouTube on it. That’s where the really scar stuff is.

At the risk of being flamed here, I have to be honest: I love reality TV. Probably for the same reason I love gossip. I love being “in the loop” and watching what the bulk of humanity is up to — especially when they’re set free from the atrociously bad script writers of regular TV.

Give me lame reality TV over a lame TV script any day.

Perhaps there needs to be a reality TV show, “Hottest Teacher”. Whatever 16 year old boy bangs the hottest female teacher wins.

then get strapped into spinning contraptions -- whoever vomits last wins

Is it merely vomiting or if you manage to get it back down, does it really count? If so, someone is probably going to choke to death trying to win a Wii again...

Nothing can compare with Japanese Game Shows. I am surprised there isn’t a lot of serious injury and death on those.

No, they surely can find ways to sink even lower.

Money quote:

Ten years ago, it would have been out of the question to base a TV show around vomit. Today, a little artful editing allows it to star in its own reality series.

an eating-and-regurgitating competition in which contestants gorge themselves on everything from chicken pot pies to peanut butter sandwiches, then get strapped into spinning contraptions

Sounds like grade school lunch and the merry-go-round.

When I was a kid I remember a number of MAD magazine articles lampooning the trends on TV and portaying the shows of the future. I gotta say, they weren’t far wrong! Guess they aren’t such a gang of idiots.

The non-reality shows are keeping up with the reality ones ... or keeping down as the case may be.

The new series "Swingtown" has got to be the creepiest idea to date.
