  1. Oh yeah, I'd say you've covered it all!! And the sad thing is I have a channel flipper at my house who's probably seen most of these (and no, it isn't me! lol!) Thanks for sharing this humorous observation!

  7. Brilliant. The time is almost here when reality tv is all we will get. I'm ashamed to say that I recognised many of the programs as ones that I watch. Not avidly, but watch anyway. (No, blogspot.com I'm not a robot, just a lurker!)
