In my opinion, sometime in the recent past, television execs discovered that they did not have to hire expensive actors to provide entertainment to the masses.They found, "to their amazement", that people not only in America..but all over the world would spent hours watching almost anybody doing almost anything. I mean why pay six figures to a Baldwin brother to play a bad guy, when this is clearly not much of a stretch for them, they are already bad....
Enter the exploits of The Turtle Man, who god bless his sole appears mildly retarded. The Kardashians, who poses no talents and make a very comfortable living complaining about various men in there lives, or arguing about there clothes, their hair, their mother, their weight, their wrinkles, their money, and by "their" money I mean the money their mother got due to the fact that their mother married #1 a very wealthy attorney who died. #2 a very popular Olympic gold medalist named Bruce Jenner, who I believe won his medal at the end of the stone age...He is without a doubt the only one in the bunch with a actual talent...sadly he has become a shadow of his former self as he follows his girls around like a puppy, holding their purses at times, as he listens to there nearly constant whining.
The list of these shows continues to grow at a alarming rate, The survivor, ghost hunter, the apprentice, the bachelor, big brother, the biggest loser.
Yes, I am a old fart, but I truly miss the days when "in order to have a TV show" you first must have a talent.
