The problem is that even the critically acclaimed reality shows are virtually substance-free. There's no plot, and nothing to make you think. And they're addictive -- once you start, you can't stop.
Onto this week's poll -- if you were going to be on a reality show, what kind would it be? Vote here.

There is such a thing as an acclaimed reality show? You mean like The Bacheolor?
Project Runway and The Amazing Race get pretty good reviews, even from TV critics.
I've said it a million times and I'll say it again... If the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy team wants to come and buy me a new wardrobe and redecorate my house for free, I'm game.
Justin: Back when QE was first out, my aunt actually nominated my uncle for it. But it was because she wanted the house redecorated, not really because she had a problem with his wardrobe.
I like Top Chef. I do glean some culinary ideas watching that show. Plus I like Padme, or Panda Bear, whatever her name is.
I've only seen one episode of Top Chef. When I want cooking, I watch the Food Network -- I'm particularly fond of Iron Chef and Good Eats.
Reality shows wouldn't irk me nearly so much if they didn't have that highly inaccurate name. They bear about as much resemblance to reality as I do to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
