...Seriously TLC?!
Okay, I've said this time and time again, I enjoy the occasional crappy television, BUT TLC's new "reality" series taking a glimpse into the life of a polygamist family, Sister Wives, is taking a step too far into the creepy for me. Not saying that it won't be interesting (it probably will be and I'll more than likely end up watching it), but really TLC? Haven't you gotten your fill of weirdness with shows about families with liters of children, morbidly obese individuals and hoarding crazies? What TLC exec woke up one morning and thought, "Hmm, you know what our programming is missing? A show about multiple marriage! It'll be a hit!" Lame.
You know there will be drama, cat fights and crying...lots and lots of crying. The penis in the center of this foolishness, Kody Brown has four wives and thirteen children, so you know there will be crying. But that's what people want to see! I'm already taking bets to see how long it takes for the wives to start knocking each other off. Of course TLC has come out saying this is all about "learning" and taking a deeper look into a life that the general population doesn't really understand. They do have a point. It will give the audience a chance to take a closer look at this lifestyle and see what it's really all about, but come on, TLC nowadays is to learning as MTV is to music videos. Don't try to play that card boo-boo.
We'll see how this one turns out. So yes, I'm adding this one to the list of crappy TV I'll be consuming for the time being (it's research!). But you know what show STILL hasn't made that list? Jersey Shore. Goes to show how much of a steaming pile of suck that show truly is if I'm willing to watch polygamists over fist pumping. Take that MTV!
