What's Hot on TV And What's So Not

So you get home from a long day at work and/or school and you decide to turn on the TV...but do you really understand how these shows are effecting our perceptions both of people and of  society in general?  You might think that TV is just as universal as music is, right?  We all have the same accessibility to the same shows, right? Yes, but I think that TV shows are much more influential than music is in shaping the way we see each other.  That's why I've decided to  share my views about some of today's TV shows.
There's SO many reality shows that are just stupid and not based on reality at all! For example,  on last season of "Kortney and Kim Take New York",  we had to first watch Kim Kardashian fall in love with Kris Humphries and have a ten million dollar televised wedding. Then we had to watch the demise of their marriage after only 72 days.    OK, a ten million dollar wedding is idiotic and illogical because it only took Kim 72 days to realize that her husband is a douche bag; that ten million dollars could have went towards feeding hungry children on the streets of LA, purchasing wheelchairs for people in Africa, or trying to find a cure for cancer!  That's so superficial to me! What's even more superficial is all the people on "E News",  "Access Hollywood", "Extra", and all the other Hollywood gossip shows that tell America the latest on the celebrity escapades of the day that has no effect on anyone's lives (i. e. the fact the Jessica Simpson named her daughter Maxwell).  It seems evident to me that our American culture is so obsessed with celebrities that  they don't care whether they're watching a host ridicule their favorite shows on "The Soup," Jone Rivers calling A-list stars unfashionable bitches on "Fashion Police," or Emily deciding what guy to give a rose to, while setting a bad  example for her little girl Ricky by making out with a bunch of strange men as they jet all  over Europe on "The Bachelorette."  No,  this is not the type of shows I enjoy because I  think they're stupid.  Please  don't get the wrong impression that I'm a bitter critic of TV, as I absolutely LOVE getting enchanted by people's unique gifts on "America's Got Talent" and losing myself in a battle between good and evil on "Once Upon a Time." I  just want a conversation going, so please comment on this post.....And tune in for future posts about the worst show "Glee" and the best show "Push Girls!!!"
