15 Apr 06 - 05:20 PM (#1719080) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: Severn Folk Musicians tend to prefer the songs of Idle Americans to those of American Idols, and since we won independance by voting ourselves off The Island in the first place.... Also, American Idols never write their own material.... However, I guess you could have called the New Lost City Ramblers a "Covers Band".... ...And instead of American Idols, we tend to look for "New Dylans" instead, so maybe that's what we can call it... ...Or "Dye-lan For Dollars"... If a folkie is thrown off an Island, does that qualify as "Tradition", or merely as "Extradition"?..... |

15 Apr 06 - 07:53 PM (#1719214) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: McGrath of Harlow I rather thought Desperate Housewives was a "reality show". Or about as real as they generally are. The only reality shows I watch involve dogs and crocodiles and chimpanzees and so forth. |

15 Apr 06 - 08:19 PM (#1719233) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: GUEST Let's make the reality show like 'The Apprentice'. Joe Offer as The Donald. The clones can take turns being the henchmen, who sit at the right and left hands of The Donald. And the Mudcat hoi polloi gets summarily fired, based upon what Joe and the clones think of them personally. Or not. I know it wouldn't be much different from everyday Mudcat life, so maybe playing the reality wife swapping game would be more entertaining. |

15 Apr 06 - 08:22 PM (#1719239) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: Bee-dubya-ell I've heard of reality shows, but I've never seen one since I don't watch television. They talk about them sometimes on NPR, which makes no sense at all since most people who listen to NPR probably don't watch much television, much less reality shows. Now I'm confused. Or maybe I'm just overestimating the NPR audience. |

15 Apr 06 - 08:37 PM (#1719256) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: GUEST I know! Do the do-gooder reality show where you destroy the structure for the good of mankind and The Family, then start from scratch building something totally good. Absolutely no evil allowed. And Laura Bush can come to the ribbon cutting ceremony when they drive a bus into Max's house. |

15 Apr 06 - 08:42 PM (#1719260) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: McGrath of Harlow It might be interesting to see a genuine documentary about some of these "reality" shows, which would let people see how phony they are. But I suppose that would just turn into another variety of "reality" show. |

16 Apr 06 - 04:19 PM (#1719653) Subject: RE: BS: MudCat B.S. the Reality Show. From: McGrath of Harlow Throwing people off the island? No way. It'd be "Now the food's run out, who are we going to eat?" And then someone would point out that it should be "Whom are we going to eat?" - and that would settle the question for the time being. Roast pedant for supper... |
