To quote David after the Dentist "Is this real life?!?!?!"
Reality shows have taken a turn for the worst. Coming from me (the reality tv queen), you know that's a really bad sign. I should have seen it coming since there is already a sitcom about cougars running around picking up younger men called Cougar Town starring and produced by Courtney Cox.
It seems as though TLC has been coming out with worse reality television shows than MTV has! I'd much rather watch Jersey Shore and Teen Mom than Here Comes Honey Boo Boo or Extreme Cougar Wives. No matter the television station, reality television is about the typical "every day" person, just living their lives. Shows like the Real World which depict the lives of typical twenty-somethings who aren't rich or famous are what reality television is all about. How often do these "cougars" come around? How often do little sassy hick children participate in beauty pageants and their moms do extreme couponing? These shows seem to be picking out certain kinds of people who will be interesting to film day to day. Though these people do live quite eventful and entertaining lives, they aren't a realistic example of what the population is like.
Bring back more shows like the Real World!!
