2. Once upon a time Bravo used to be a good channel

That was about a decade ago.

4. totally

they used to show the West Wing all the time, especially on Monday's with their marathons. For awhile, Bravo was essentially the West Wing, Queer Eye, Actors Studio, and movies. Now the west wing is relegated to the early morning and the rest of the day is rich people reality shows

5. That explains why Time Warner finally deigned to add it to our service.

I remember it when it was great and we lived elsewhere. Now it's junk. I was so happy when I heard they'd added it--until I looked through the daily listings.

Sigh.

3. Some reality shows are extremely inexpensive to produce and air.

6. They're scary

Nothing about them is real - hair, boobs, faces - they're bad ads for Botox and hair extensions.

I watch them, I admit, fascinated. It's like going to a zoo and watching really strange animals you never heard of.

7. Those shows are shallow and pedantic.

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. What about the people who watch them in order to feel superior?

[Initech]

11. They are also shallow and pedantic.

9. Apparently spoiled is popular now.
