All these cheap and easy to produce, unscripted TV programs do is create unemployment for creative script writers, established and up and coming actors and TV studio production personel ,and produce millions of $s for people like Simon Cowell and the disgusting Sharon Osbourne , have things sunk so low that we enjoy some sleazoid "businessman" or foul mouthed TV chef berating and demeaning some poor souls hypnotized by the lure of fame thru appearing on a television show .

ok rant over ..p.s. I am biased , I have friends who are members of the tv writers guild (union) and SAG (screen actors guild)

couldnt agree more - though then again, im biased as well - I dont even own a TV. Anything worth watching can be bought or rented on DVD. Reality TV is complete and utter gutter trash. People putting themselves up to be judged by some quarter-wit who's career needs a 'pick me up'. Its TV for the uninspired and intellectually numb
