TV
Reality TV is running rampant in the States. It's all they have on TV these days. It all started with "The Survivor." Yesterday on Bravo, I saw "Shear Genius" which is about hair stylists competing against each other to win some sort of prize. They all live together and get mysterious notes that give them clues as to their next challenge. It was somewhat interesting to see the hair cuts that result and I also enjoyed listening to how the stylists described hair cuts.
Project Runway is another reality type show hosted by Heidi Klum. (How does she have time for all these shows when she also hosts "Germany's Next Top Model"?)
Then there is a show documenting life as a "little person". It's called "Little People, Big World" on The Learning Channel and shows how a family of little people experience with everyday life.
MTV and VH1 have their own shows following celebrities, B-level stars or wanna be celebrities.
German had some reality shows too like "Bauer Sucht Frau", which translates into "Farmer Searches for Wife". The premise of this show is that some farmers in rural Germany have a difficult time finding wives, so they go on this show. Then there were these shows where a nanny goes into people's homes and tells them how to raise their kids and discipline them.
When is the madness going to end? What is the next TV trend? How can we waste more time watching TV?
