Regarding reality shows, no thanks! Those reality shows are just a cheap way for the television producers to sell adverts.

The programs put me in mind of the quote from Thoreau, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation....." I think every aspect of these shows reeks of desperation - the folks who appear, the folks who watch and the folks who produce.

Now, I did, quite accidentally manage to appear on Saturday Night Live. Was minding my own business, watching the people go by in Santa Monica, CA, while waiting for my wife and her mom one January afternoon, and was asked to do a "man in the street" interview for them.
