Hmmm…fat people sweating or bad people singing.  What should I watch on TV tonight?

Last night was the kick off of the Biggest Loser and American Idol, two of the big spring season reality shows.  I opted for Idol, thinking it might actually be different without Paula there.  But after one hour, I was bored to tears (just as I knew I would be).  It’s useless to watch that show until the auditions are over and the show goes to Hollywood.  It’s also painful.

But not as painful as fat people at a weigh in going to a commercial break each time right before the scale shows what they weigh.

Hmmm…what’s on Discovery channel.  Moms with ten babies.  Interventions. Midgets.  Midgets with ten babies.  Interventions with Midgets.  Interventions with mom with ten babies who are hoarders. Oh, pet rescue!  That looks good!  How bout those men who build choppers?  Men who rescue pets and build choppers, yeah, let’s watch that.  Or those men who rescue dogs, build choppers, and bounty hunt midgets who have ten babies.  Now, that’s a show!  Oh, it’s not on tonight…

Guess I’ll stay up and watch The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien.

So after the first painful hour of Idol, we watch Psychic Children and Paranormal State instead, in case you were wondering.  I actually like those shows.

But when it comes to reality, I miss television.
