September 24, 2004Reality Show RantI was a little bit disappointed in the broadcast of Survivor last night. I just got a new HD big screen rear projection TV, and I was looking forward to watching Survivor in High Def to impress my in-laws who always come over on Thursday nights. To my surprise CBS’s second most popular show according to Neilson Ratings (behind CSI) was not broadcast in HD. The only reason I can think of that would make them not broadcast one of the biggest shows on TV in HD was because of the demographic of their target audience. I can see a show like The Bachelor not broadcasting in HD because of the level of intelligence of their target audience directly affecting their capability of affording a HD TV, but not survivor. In all honestly, if my in-laws didn’t come over to watch it with me and my wife then I probably wouldn’t watch it either. Since I am forced to watch it, I often find myself enjoying it or getting into it. However, shows like the Bachelor only attracts a more feminine crowd who have a misconception of what is romantic (as if finding love on a show where "prince Charming" is also dating 30 other girls is romantic), they do not understand what real love is, and their idea of a heart throb (in this case) is a Professional Bass Fisherman. Yes, I said a Professional Bass Fisherman. They went from the Bachelor being a Professional Football player (although a bench warmer, but still) to a Professional Bass Fisherman.

I wonder what the ladies think about professional carp fishermen. Or professional crappie fishermen...

I'm sure not a lady but it sounds pretty sexy to me.

Your making your way to the doghouse. Posted by: Chastity at September 25, 2004 05:04 PMMy previous comment was supposed to sound a little light-hearted...but I realize it didn't come off that way. So, here's a smiley to show I was at least halfway joking :). Posted by: Chastity at September 25, 2004 05:41 PMPerhaps a site Disclaimer is in need.
