While doing my part for society, watching my soon to be sister in law’s cats, I came into an appalling scene. The cats were watching The Jerry Springer Show. The television was left on to keep them company, but it may have only rotted their tiny little brains.
It made me flash back, to a time much simpler than now. A time where Sitcom’s ruled the world, and talk shows exhumed journalistic integrity. But then it was all shattered by the reality show revolution. And just like any Sci-Fi Dystopian plot, society had crashed and burned.
It was how enthralled they were with the show when I walked in. Both sitting so calm with a hint of eagerness, they were like small children watching a Saturday morning toy commercial. They looked over only for a moment before returning to the TV.
They were just as in love with the human misery as we normally are. So the TV Executives finally got the coveted demographic of the house hold pet.
When you look at television scheduling you will see some of the most primetime and popular shows are reality love shows. Like this year’s smash hit, More To Love. A bastard child of The Bachelor/Bachelorette love show formula. You look at those shows and say “hey, at least that ain’t me.” First off, you guys have horrible grammar, and secondly its true, we love to see other people go through the torturous trials of love.
I don’t blame the cats for watching this daytime gem. Between Springer and Judge Joe Brown, the programming schedule of most television networks is just down right wrong.
And now, what you have all been waiting for, hot Human on Human fighting action. Enjoy.
