As I approach the check out line at Krogers this evening I pick up this weeks issue of People Magazine as I do every week. And who is gracing this week's cover? None other than the biggest reality star of all time: Kate Gosselin and her new look!
I sit down to watch my 7:00 show: Inside Edition and what is the second story: Kate Gosselin and her new boyfriend. I watch Entertainment Tonight at 7:30 and what is the second story on that show: Kate Gosselin and her new look and her new boyfriend! Then the 3rd story is about Jon Gosselin and his new twenty-five year old girlfriend. Have we not seen enough of these people? Have they not had their 15 mintues of fame? Isn't it time that the two of them went out and got a real job? Isn't time the general public stopped supporting these two?
Why is the public so facinated with the lives of others? And yes I am a reality show watcher. It started with "The Real World", then I went to "Dog The Bounty Hunter", "Little People, Big World". And now I am hooked on "Jersey Shores" and I can not beleive I am going to say this but I have even watched "Steven Segal -Law Man"! Oh God I can't believe I even admitted that one! What draws us to these shows and what keeps us coming back each week? Is it that there are no more good sitcom's on tv, no good drama's on tv or have we just become to lazy in our life to do something more constructive then sitting on a couch and watching these shows week after week? I have tons of books here to read about 4 weeks of magaiznes to read but yet here I sit watching my tv! What has become of us? What has the media world done to us?
One of my New's Year's Resolution is to quit watching so much tv and start doing more reading, doing some constructive things with my life! It is now January 11, 2010 - lets see how well I do at this resolution! I'll keep you posted. Signing off to watch "Two and A Half Men"
