Now that's reality tv

Dear people on my viewing screen...How did you get in that box?

I admit that I do not like reality television, or at least what the population calls "reality tv." I used to go on tirades and storm around or was it wear tiara and prance around? Shows that are labeled reality television I could not stand to watch. I get on Wendy's nerves by my lack of self control around these shows. I try to let Wendy enjoy Survivor.

Wendy and I did watch some interesting television last night. The shows contained clips of real people, okay I did not see the birth certificate, but I am believing they are real. Of course they were doing stupid things.

The first show was The Exterminators. It was so bizarre it was interesting. The show features a family in Louisiana who are in the exterminator business. The main guy is dressed in goth or punk. I am not sure which one it is. A camera crew follows him around as he disposes of critters. The episode I viewed he captured a beaver and got rid of thousands of roaches. I have to admit that the guy, Billy, knew a lot about exterminating. He gave some pretty interesting facts. I might would watch the show again, if I remember to record it.

Also we watched a program called Outrageous Weddings. The show's premise was clips from weddings that had strange aspects from the proposal to the reception. Most of the clips were too amazing to believe. One of the most interesting clips was of a bride who wanted a wedding cake in her likeness. So the cake decorator made a five foot four inches representation of the bride. It really did look like the bride. I would think that would have to be disturbing to see them cutting into the cake. I think from what they showed the weddings were able to finish even though circumstances did cause a few interruptions.

Maybe reality television has hope...as long as you entertain me.
