[guido911]

Apparently Fox will add a new reality show where the loser loses his/her job or something.

Reality shows are the dying convulsions of Cable TV. And oh do I hate them.

However, they cost less to produce, and draw a large audience of lazy people to watch them, and so that is, unfortunately, what TV has become.

I spend less and less of my free time watching TV, and more and more of it on the internet.

Tired of Reality TV? Catch some classic shows on Hulu.com. Want catch up on the last season of a recent show? Order it on Amazon.

Want to see a new movie? Order it on Netflix.

Want to catch up on the latest news? Check the internet news sites...

This is why TV is dying, and will soon be nothing but a Jerry Springer/Reality TV hub for trailer park residents and retirees. The rest of the world will be online for entertainment and informational purposes.

Remember that odd scientific study a while back, the one that said humanity would eventually evolve into two separate species? One an attractive, educated upper-class, and the other, an ugly, less-intelligent poor class?

Well, I think the divide between Reality TV Cable and the entertainment options offered on the Internet is the beginning of that split.

Now wait a minute, I thought that was an HG Wells book....

It was. He was way ahead of his time.
