Jersey Shore

There is absolutely no redeeming value to this show whatsoever. There is no plot, no game, no subplots and no acting. You might argue, well that’s what reality TV is. Whatever, I would say that about most reality shows, but this one scrapes the bottom of the barrel and has had for 6 seasons. However, (THANKFULLY) MTV announced that the 6th season would be the last and everyone went WHEW thank God. But just so kids who watch are punished more, there will be full day of Jersey Shore as part the end of the end of series. Or as I call it: Jersey Sore. My only question is: who watches this shit show and why?

“Gym, Tan, Look Back” will serve as the capper on a full day of “Jersey Shore” nostalgia beginning at 11 a.m. ET/PT on September 6 with an awards-themed marathon of “Shore” episodes, which will include the most iconic moments in the series’ history. And then, the cast of the “Jersey Shore” will gather at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Pre-show (airing live at 7 p.m. ET/PT) to discuss the final season from the red carpet.

Jersey Shore To End After Six Epic Seasons

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

And there goes breakfast! Honestly, TLC has literally scraped the bottom of the barrel for this show. In case you haven’t had the “pleasure” yet, let me spare you. It’s a spin off from an equally wrong Toddlers and Tiaras featuring Honey Boo Boo a 6 year old Georgia Peach pageant girl. As the family is a shameless stereotyped “redneck” family doing all kinds of crazy “fun” redneck things. TLC ; I thought it stood for the The Learning Channel. It appears to stand for The Lowest Channel. There is nothing to “learn” from this show other than parents may want to think twice about getting their little girls in a child pageant.

Flipped Off

Reality TV just can’t get enough of the Hantz’ family. It wasn’t bad enough that they brought Russell’s nephew into Survivor (which he did not win, what a surprise). Even CBS got into the Hantz act; they had Willie Hantz (Russell’s brother) as a houseguest on Season 14 this summer. Of course if you watched Big Brother, you know how quickly that ended but I digress. First of all, why do we need another show about house flipping? This lends to the evidence that this is really just a vehicle for Russell Hantz’s buffoonery (and huge ego).

Ghost Hunters

You can’t really argue whether this show is fakery or not. Even if they ever do provide “proof” of a ghost encounter, the proof would have to somehow be scrutinized. There has already been several accusations of fakery against that show, such as Grant’s infamous collar movement. So then that begs the question: what is entertaining about this? All we ever get is them prowling around in some dark places with night vision cameras on and we hear them say things like “did you hear that?” or “What was that noise?” or “did you see that?”. Occasionally we might hear clinks and clunks they are talking about. But so what … YAWN. Wake me up when you actually find a ghost. I suppose that is what keeps the audience interested. They want to ‘witness’ the actual ghost discovery on TV. Ummmm.. next!

Terra Nova

Remember this one? Maybe you don’t. It was only around for 1 season. At first I had high hopes for it; after all it had one thing going for it: DINOSAURS! After all any shows that had CGI Dinos could not be all bad could it? Well it could. The show’s premise was better than the show! That premise was Earth in the future; an earth that is so polluted that people have to live under domes. Oh and families are strictly limited to 2 children per family – or else. Or else what? Or else the father goes to prison. Now that in itself might make a good premise.

But the show quickly left that scene and moved back some 80 million years in time to live in Terra Nova. The show descends into the usual political quagmire that occurs when you put more than 5 people together. And that could have even been made into an interesting plot. But they chose the more mundane and sophomoric plot sequences and dialogs. I think that is what made people lose interest very quickly. So why am I bothering with it since it’s been canceled? According to the Wiki article, “Fox is shopping it around for a buyer”. No takers so far. No surprise there.

Big Brother

I have to admit, I used to like Big Brother. If you can remember the 1st season (if you can recall back that far), the involved the audience a lot more. In fact, in that season, the audience voted for who to evict. Obviously that changed the very next season and they have not gone back to that format since. They still involve the audience a bit but it’s mostly for useless things like deciding what the “have nots” will eat for their have-not food choices.

This summer they asked the audience whether they should bring the coaches into the game. Of course the voting went exactly as CBS planned it, because the coaches became part of the game – even though they were told in the season 14 opener, that they were NOT THERE TO COMPETE. That is egg roll on Julie Chen’s face and that was the final straw for me. That and after 14 seasons, I am sick of watching these cooped up hens and roosters cackle about each other for 3 months. The last hen or rooster left standing wins 500K. Which by the way is a cheap ass prize. Can’t CBS up the anty after all these years to something more substantial? Like a million dollars? Geech.. Errnk.. CBS

Bethany Ever After

Ok let me start with this one!  First on all, don’t get me started on the “Real Horsewives”, (the spelling error stays), but do they really need have a spin off?  Yet this POS show is in its 3rd season.  Who wants to watch some skanky Jewess run around New York doing stuff all day?  Yawn.. The yawn factor is high here.
