And We Wonder Why

So here's whats been bugging the shit outta me lately, all of the dumb ass shows on TV. We are unfortunately stuck in the age of reality TV, sorry, I mean "shitty" reality TV Ever since shows like MTV's The Real World and Road Rules along with other longer running reality TV shows such as Cops and even less reality than staged shows like Jerry Springer America has been on this kick to watch other Americans who are either idiots or act like idiots. Let me clean this up before I get into too much more. I don't necessarily hate all reality TV show, just the ones that act as if they are something their not. Take the god awful show Toddlers & Tiaras for instance, it's a bunch of horrible mothers taking advantage or their poor daughters to make a name more for themselves then for their daughters. What they see in the show is completely different than what most of america sees in the show, they see it as show about how much it takes to become the best in a pageant; we ,on the other hand, see it as a show of what not to do as a parent. 

Now I know there's a lot of people who like Jersey Shore and I'm sorry but I have to rag on it too. This show is the reason other countries think we're all idiots. It was a sad day for me when I found out my brother actually liked this show. Now I'm open to most thinks and if I'm not I will do my best to change the way I think by giving it another try. And that's just what I did when I found out one of my family members had fallen prey to Jersey Shore. I sat and watched the show with him while keeping as open a mind as I could, but to no avail, after watching two shows I was out, could-not-do, I really can't stand it. Here's what we need to make more shows about, the real America, the hard working, struggling, tough America. We make a show and call it The Real Housewives.... but does ANYBODY know housewives like that, no. Why don't make a show about REAL housewives, working two jobs, doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of their kids all while keeping a smile on their exhausted faces as if they can do it in their sleep. We never really realized how hard our mothers worked until we got older, and for some not even then. This is what we need to put on T.V. more shows that inspire, that show all the world who we really are and that we're not all fat idiot slobs who are completely self absorbed. I can only imagine what they think when they see our shows, they either love them or hate us. Most make shows about those that they look up to or a story that in some way inspires you, to either do greater things or to put everything in perspective. Are these really the people we want other countries thinking we look up to, you know what forget other countries, are these the shows we want our kids thinking is the standard for a good life. For gods sake we are actually making these people rich, WITH OUR MONEY! But if these shows really do inspire you, if you really do look up to these people then this whole blog is going to go in one ear and very quickly out the other as you probably didn't get past the first few sentences since I'm sure you had a appointment to dumb yourself down with your TV. Enjoy
