Every once in a while, you will hear someone talk about how bad television is for you. Well, for years, I defended TV because of its high entertainment value. But honestly, if you want to look at some of the things that defines the true moral degredation of America, look no further than reality TV.

Wife Swap - There are actually TWO versions of this show floating around! From the title alone, you can tell what this show is about.

Survivor - Ah, the show that really started it all. Once again, more castaways and the gayest host on any island have returned to Thursday nights. The show was actually entertaining when it was something different...10 seasons ago.

Fear Factor - 100% crap. Everyone, grab a goat intestine and eat it! The winner is not the first one to eat it, but the one who keeps it down the longest. OK, now that everyone has ate their goat intestine, we have something to tell you. What you really ate was a dried human penis. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "beef jerky", doesn't it?

The Apprentice - Why would we normally care about someone getting a job? Just because it's from Donald Trump? "You're fired!" Thanks, douchebag.

The Chair - This show is dearly departed, but can still be looked upon with great reverence. The Chair is the game show where competitors were placed in a chair and subjected to several different "shocking" physical difficulties, say fire or a live crocodile. The object of the game was to not raise your heart rate above a certain level.

Real World - Ah, even older than Survivor, this show centers around taking 2 black people, 1 gay guy, a few buffy's and a few jocks and throwing them all together to live our their boring lives with cameras rolling 24/7. Who cares?

Anything with the Hiltons - Why is America obsessed with the Hilton sisters. Yeah, they're hot. We get it. Yeah, they're rich. Good for them. Unless they're available for a lap dance, why bother?

MXC - A god among insects. Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is one of the only reality show worth watching. It takes the Japanese TV show, Takeshi's Castle, and adds some hilarious translations to make a great show!

The Surreal Life - How could anyone forget The Surreal Life. It takes 6, dare I say, "washed up" celebrities and puts them in a house together. Highly entertaining and highly recommended. "Flava Flave!"
