Two new television show announcements came across the TV Week.com TV Bizwire today. The fist being another Donald Trump reality show in which he turns reality televisions most unreal and all around annoying and awful person, 'Omarosa' into a bachelorette. And the second is a show based on the tweets on a popular twitter page. Yes, folks Twitter pages are being turned into television shows. 45 character partial sentences are the new television script. The combination of both of these stories pretty much make me want to unplug my television for ever.
A true sign of the Apocalypse I say.
This is just continuing bad news for anybody with talent as an actor or writer. Television executives must be going nuts trying to keep up with the speed that the Internet and social media makes something viral. Execs are so afraid they are going to miss the next best thing that they will buy and take a chance on anything that gets Internet buzz.
This blogger personally gave up on all reality television as I find it insulting to anybody with a fair amount of intelligence. Enough already, enough!! UGH!! "Shark Tank" on ABC is the only reality show I watch because it involves REAL people with REAL ideas and REAL businesses they are trying to make successful. I do not watch "The Biggest Loser" but that is a show that seems to make a REAL difference in peoples lives. --Frank Murgia
