For that matter, I think all the networks are running out
of (good) ideas! And when there is a good show it gets
cancelled way too soon. But the main problem is too damn
many networks. They have to fill the time so they go with
the lowest/cheapest form of tv - reality shows. Blecch.

But I find Worst Cooks to be one of the least objectionable
reality shows. At least it has some modicum of entertainment
value. None of the others do - they're in the *negative*
entertainment area. Whatever is the opposite of entertainment
that's what they are.
