Why do people watch this stuff?
So, TiVo didn't get NBC's latest schedule changes and started taping the season opener of "Average Joe 4" instead of "Law & Order SVU."
I have to say, L&O looks much less violent and cruel.
I watched AJ for about 10 minutes in morbid facination, much they way people rubberneck at highway wrecks...Why do people watch this stuff? Why would anyone want to see nice, smart people who are unlucky at love and/or socially awkward, or even just really in need of a good haircut be manipulated, scorned, tricked, and then physically intimidated on television? And *then* talked into unnecessary plastic surgery while they're down?
Didn't we all long to graduate high school to get away from this sort of thing? How could this sort of cruelty make it to television for *several* seasons? I just don't get it.
Thank goodness TiVo recorded another "Good Eats" while I was out...now that's good reality tv...
