Lamenting the loss of quality programming on channels such as A&E, the History Channel, the Learning Channel and others.


Poem Artwork

It baffles me how often
People insist
Upon going on television
And making
Complete fools of themselves
In the name of entertainment.
Is it really so important
To achieve those fifteen minutes
Of fame
At the exaggerated cost
Of one's dignity?
I hope they are well paid
For surely it must be
Difficult
To hold up one's head
After their low brow shenanigans
Hit the airwaves,
Thereby exposing 
A complete lack of class,
As well as
A certain part of
Their anatomy,
To a less than discriminating
Audience.

 Reviews of "A Scathing Observation"

You are absolutely right. I have given up on most reality shows because people's lives on air––well edited and rehearsed, make rather boring stories.

I have began to notice that, on the money shows, they seem a bit contrived so as to not to show too much embarrassment or loss. The show alone attracts opportunities that wouldn't occur in real life, making them suspect while they get rich.

Chasing wild theories for profit seems to be important too. Making big money from old, tired and worn out myths like the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot.

An observation held by many, pursued by none, and ignored by all. Still, it's worthwhile to remind us. Truth can get very lonely.
