Random Thoughts

Clearly, we have reached the apocalypse.

I admit, I occasionally watch “reality tv” shows. You can’t help yourself; they are so pathetic, it is almost funny. ALMOST. I will even admit to briefly checking out The Anna Nicole Show, but ABC has far surpassed the usual smut by announcing plans for their newest reality tv series.

The show is called The Will and centers around a wealthy benefactor whose heirs systematically vote each other out based on competitions for pieces of the estate, and the last one standing inherits it all. Of course, he or she will have to wait for the old guy to croak first (no, I don’t know the benefactor is male, but I am having difficulty imagining a sweet little old granny participating in this charade. Who knows, I could be wrong).

For this heartwarming addition to network television, we owe a debt of gratitude to Mike Fleiss, creator of The Bachelor (as if that show isn’t revolting enough). At least it is as much fun as standing back and watching a train wreck. And in the end they get what they deserve, heartbreak and STD’s.

Sadly, people will tune in to see these morons fighting over their family wealth. Is it just me, or has Jerry Springer been providing this type of quality entertainment for years? Personally, I am hoping my good friend Anna Nicole gets wind of the “eligible” heir willing to leave his fortune up for grabs and swoops in for the kill. Now that would be tv worth watching.

If you think your family has what it takes to be part of the next great reality series, visit www.thewilltv.com and register for your chance to go down in infamy.
