off topic: television and reality shows

i'm sick of reality shows...except hells kitchen of course.  but seriously, everything i see on tv is some reality show.  what ever happened to raw, artificial entertainment?  well over the past few weeks i've learned it moved to other networks.  not that i'm endorsing all the actors in these shows as their best performances, but i've been entertained by them...and to me that is what counts.

check them out if you are sick of the reality ones as well:

• the kill point (spike tv)
• damages (f/x networks)

both completely artificial plot lines, bad acting in some areas, etc. -- you know...back to the basics.
