2. Reality Programming For Everything
It's getting out of hand people. Correction, it's already WAY out of hand. It's no secret that reality programming has brought upon a television takeover but now it's seems like they're just playing with its dead carcass. There seems to be about a million shows (I checked but my math may be off a smidge) dedicated to pawn shops. I'm not kidding but I have to ask, when did people become obsessed with pawn shops? I'm dead serious here, these shows are hits and they have annoying titles like, Pawn Stars or Hardcore Pawn. Do people tune in because they were tricked into watching, thinking they were watching porn? And if that's the case, ewww. We're going down a dark path here. Redirecting. Still here? Good. There are also competition shows on every channel that is home to a significant amount of reality programming. I'm not just talking about your Survivors or Amazing Races or Top Chefs. No, I'm talking about The Next Food Network Star. I'm talking about HGTV Star. These competition shows let us all in on a little secret -- reality tv will never end, it only restocks. Oh yeah, there's also a show about the guys who created duck calls. Don't act surprised, it's also a hit.
