I’ve noticed there are several web sites that will give you a list of Reality TV Series currently casting.  By the look of these new potential shows, they remind me of some Jerry Springer episodes.  Here are a few I spotted:  Settle Your Argument UFC Style, a show for those who cannot work out their problems in a civil manner.  This show would have you “duke” it out in a ring after being trained by a professional.  Perhaps they should cross-blend with this show that is also casting, Splitsville, a show about divorcing couples.  What will they come up with next?  I have a few suggestions to come in future blogs.  My mind is reeling in new show ideas.  All I need is a producer…….. 

Oprah has entered the Reality TV arena.  According to reports, her new Reality TV Series will feature 10 people that will be challenged to take the money and resources they are given and multiply them to come up with the most powerful, sensational, emotional and dramatic ways to give to others.   A feel good, inspiring show.  I like the concept.  Does anyone remember Percy Ross?  He had a column in the paper many years ago called Thanks a Million.  He was a philanthropist who would accept letters from readers who asked for things they could not afford and Percy would be the judge filling those requests based upon their letter/need.  Could you see a Reality series starring this older wealthy and wise man?  I would tune in.  The requests of Percy’s readers were generally minimal but some were quite comical.  I remember most people asking for the basics; a mattress, new shoes, glasses.  I was a faithful reader of his.  He actually gave his entire fortune away.   Here is a quote by Percy I always found inspiring (anyone who knows me knows that I am a quote freak):  “The American Dream is being able to pursue anything you want, without restrictions or limitation, but in keeping with the law, that fills your passion for life. The advice I would give to someone chasing after his or her dream is to never, ever give up. That may sound trite, but it is the single-most factor that allowed me to achieve my dreams.  Call it tenacity or perseverance, the end result is the same.”  Percy Ross    Hey, I wonder if there is a Percy Ross fan club?  Anyone? 

Lost needs an Extreme Makeover - get off the island..yeah, get off the bus too! It reminds me of Speed, not much happens unless you are going 55!   I am lost, why the flashbacks, keep us in present day and stop the dr. freud or dr. phil, whichever you may have more respect for, I’d pick freud, he did appear with Bill & Ted and must have some sort of reputation!

I love Kate, I really do, what a beauty, Sawyer too, wouldn’t throw him out of a bed of crackers,  who wouldnt fall for the bad boy.. if Sawyer came to my door, I would buy what he is selling, but on the other hand, there is Jack, and he is pretty convincing.  Still and all, gotta go with the attitude.

I tried, I really did to catch up, but nothing has happened, is the Sun still pregnant? Why isn’t she showing yet, its been a few months..oh yeah, the writers strike.!  What really happened to Michael, has he ended up in the attic of All My Childrens Past? With the Martin kid? What was his name anyhow..and why has no one questioned where he is at?

Enter the ship - The Black Rock? Where did it originate from, anyone know? Did it hold those hot pirates from the South Shore Marauders? (Hello Mark & Annie) Is Jeffery Rush going to pop out of the hull and transform into a dead ringer for Jeremy Irons, anything is possible in reality tv !

If you are suffering reality tv burnout, may I suggest to you to check out some stoner one liners!
