I'm up again, yet another late night and what do I see? Football star wide receiver, twice removed, T.O with his own show. Typical! It takes place during the off season, getting help from his two best friends and publicists to re-examine his personal life. That's all good and well. Everyone gets off track for a while and have close love ones to help them focus. But who re-evaluate their life in Hollywood? Come on now, lets be real! First episode he slept with the real estate agent. Lets reflect on that!
EVERYONE has a show now and days. From Daisy of Love (boo) to The Real Desperate House Wives (who didn't even know each other before the show started) to Tiny and Toya (who keep showing re-runs and they only three shows in). People are so wrapped up in reality TV that they miss out on the quality television shows. I'll name a few... The Game (broke my heart when it was canceled), Law and Order (pick one, there all good), Two and Half Men and Secret Life of An American Teenager.
My biggest pet peeve are those "I just want to find love" reality shows. They all end up the same way... break up and start the process all over again. Instead of creating a show that compromises character, lets focus on the everyday people: a black student attending a predominately white university and struggles to maintain a 3.5 GPA, while struggling with all the issues that come along with college. Wake up, people, and realize its more to life then watching other people indulge in fantasy.
