Here’s the reality? Reality Television isn’t going away any time soon? Not when it’s cheap to produce for networks hemorrhaging money like NBC. Remember when NBC was a virtual factory for programming that people actually wanted to watch? Seinfeld, Friends, etc. Now their lineup is peppered with multiple showings of their own slick an d cost efficient knock off of American Idol and god knows what else. This is the wave of the Future ladies and gentlemen. It’s a TV landscape where someone pays a celebrity with an expiring shelf life to jump off of a high dive. It’s a TV landscape where the line between actuality and creative license seems to gets t fuzzier and fuzzier by the minute. Still….don’t you love the people who cry “fake” on shows like Hardcore Pawn or Pawn Stars or anything else Tru TV pumps out. OF COURSE IT’S FAKE!!! The same stereotypical African Americans are always the one who act a fool in American Jewelry and Loan. Somehow, Bobby and whatever his name is are ALWAYS surrounded by eighteen guys during a repo on Lizard Lick Towing and STILL… no one calls the cops AND they get the car AND they kick everyone’s ass. Now odds are, if you’re doing a repo and there’s A rather sizeable mob of angry debtors around you…. you’re not just going to kick the one guy’s ass while his crew waits in the distance. Odds are, if a show like Lizard Lick Towing were grounded in reality, Bobby and his guy would probably end up in a cornfield somewhere ala “Casino.” What I’m saying is…. Everyone just needs to relax and take a deep breath. Change the channel if you think the stuff on Tru TV is garbage or pure fakery. That’s your god given right as an American. You have the power to glance at whatever is being sold and then politely say “no.” Now if you’ll excuse me. I’m going to watch the next episode of “South Beach Tow.” Gee, I wonder why the driver stands there and argues when he can just leave and collect his reward back at the shop. Now now… this is no time for logic.
