I mentioned in an earlier post that I had two issues with CBS programming.  I addressed the first (fictitious programming schedules), so here is the other:  fake reality shows, where a bunch of wanna-be acters sadly act their way through some programmed reality.  Jeeze, guys, this format appealed to boppers several years ago, but get a clue!  Those youngsters have moved on.  These shows are utterly worthless, totally stupid, completely staged, and, unless you have missed the point here, a total waste of time.  Advertisers…pull out now, before it is too late!  Why on earth do you want to have your corporate identity associated with these shabby productions!

Last night, because CBS can’t follow their own programming schedule, I actually watched the end of Big Brother.  OMG!!!  What a piece of tripe!  These pseudo-acters prancing around pretending to be “real” (it probably took multiple takes to get some of those scenes to be believable).  Jeeze-Louise, CBS…surely you can come up with something…anything…better than this!  Advertisers…get a clue!  I am definitely not alone in this opinion.  Use your money for R&D or college grants…something that is actually beneficial and educational!  Big Brother sucks!  It’s about as close to ”reality” as a Superman cartoon and one tenth as interesting (unless you are a student of bad acting, whereupon it is great material!)

The days of “Reality” television are over.  Like Wrestling, everybody knows they are staged productions, and let’s face it…they lost their novelty years ago.  Move on, CBS!
