yeah this is no longer a matter of opinion but an established fact. tv is in the middle of a golden age. enjoy it while you can before the fucking suits find a way to destroy it.

me: i watched two ugly reality shows the other day. one was
kitchen nightmares hell's kitchen in its 1,000,000,000 season of hysterical screams (it's kinda like watching old springer). god damn the people are especially unsightly this year. the other show was the opposite on the surface-- the real world (lol) which is basically: throw a bunch of pretty people together and let them quickly show how fucking ugly they are on the inside.
