  1. Can’t wait for the premiere of “House” this season. The pairing of Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein just sizzles.

  2. “I think that genre is overdone” means something very very different from “I’m tired of it… and thus will watch it less”.

  3. Reality Shows are put on by lazy and cheap networks who don’t want to go to the trouble to pay for good scripted show that actually have a theme, other than how stupid you can show yourself to be.

  4. I’m so glad the public is tired of it. I never got into reality shows. For me it was a degenerate side of life that we do not see. Not all of it was degenerate but you could expect the unexpected from some participants and that was not good for me, quality TV, or classy TV visualizations for the public.
    Good riddance

  5. “Reality TV” is the perfect misnomer: it isn’t real, but loosely scripted on set as it’s shot, and it never belonged on TV. That brand of sophomoric drek belongs on YouTube – or anywhere my eyeballs are not.

  6. Thanks for your visiting this http://www.hello-free.com/freebies online Free WebSite.

  7. I, for one, am not tired of reality shows yet…although there are a few that I pass on entirely. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills looks pretty drama filled to me! Can’t wait!

  8. Lucky i discovered , this amazing site, will make sure to bookmark it so i can come to frequently.

  9. Short sales are such a hassle. People got themselves into this mess, it’s really sad. Too much greed, stay within your means.

  10. You make blogging look like a walk in the park! I’ve been trying to blog daily but I just cant find writing material.. you’re an inspiration to me and i’m sure many others!

  11. Everyone to whom much is given, of him will much be required.
