One hearty vote here for The View! The loss of Meredith Viera, Lisa Ling, and Joy Behar brought this screechfest to its knees, and the additions of Bitsy Hasselbeck and Sherri Shephard were daggers to the heart. This one is really circling the drain these days.
I admit it - I'm a reality TV junkie. What bugs me, though, is that they all start out pretty good and then deteriorate as time goes on. At first, I thought it was just familiarity boredom, but then came to realize that what I really hate is how TPTB "goop" up the formats with a pile of "cutesy" extraneous crap that just gets sillier by the episode. (Think Big Brother: The first year gave us this new, interesting concept, and the houseguest were relatively normal people being put in reasonable circumstances. Remember George the chicken man? Their tasks were to grow a garden and tend their chickens. Fast forward the later seasons with their Head of Household, power emblems (or whatever the hell they were), ridiculous challenges, nasty alliances, etc. They really to get back to basics. Same with Survivor with the immunity idol and redemption island, yada-yada-yada Ruination!
And, if they keep messing with my TAR, I'm going to be really pissed!
