It’s no secret I hate most reality television. I think shows like The Real World and The Real Housewives Of Orange County are real stupid.
No, that’s not right, I like reality TV I just don’t like the “I’m better than you” attitude that some of these shows reflect. Take The Real Housewives Of Orange County for instance. This show is about these elitist bunch of middle age women who think that money and status are all there is in life. One woman on the show has a son who has serious problems so her solution is to kick him out of the house. OK, that’s tough love, I get that.
However…
The mom is then upset that her son (who she kicked out) moved into the home of her husbands ex-wife. She is very hurt that her son would do that to her.
What?
This “mother” throws her son out of the house and then she is hurt because her son moves into her husband ex-wife’s house. Forget the fact the kid had nowhere to go, she could not get over the fact that he would hurt her that way.
What kind of parent is this?
Does having money make you a heartless self-centered bitch?
She’s hurt? What’s going to happen when this kid commits a robbery? Will she be upset because he did not rob a better class of store?
‘How could he rob a liquor store?” Why not rob a Saks or Bloomingdales?” I’m so hurt. How can he do this to me?’
Well I think it’s time I unveil my reality shows and my network. I was going to do this on TV at a later date but the billion dollars I needed has been a bit a bit slow in coming.
So you want REAL reality TV? Well welcome to The Michael Davis Network (MDN) Fall 2008 programs.

Michael Davis is impressed that Oprah just got her own network. OWN, literally.
There's an ad for a travel show on the page. You missed:Black Cops!Episode 1: You Black, Man!Sgt. Ron El-Baba leads his team in treating black suspects worse than white suspects. The police mindset takes over the black man's pride.
"Does having money make you a heartless self-centered bitch?" Uh, yeah. Your point? :)Great column idea, Michael. I've had fantasies of watching an Extreme Makeover Homeless Edition show myself, that's what I think every time I see ads for the "real" thing.On the heels of last Wednesday's column, here's my contribution:You'll Eat It, And You'll Like It!Episode One.And no back talk, either!Actual working people compete to cook semi-edible meals for their families using whatever's in the damn fridge and kitchen cabinets, no ingredients more expensive than the meat, no fresh herbs (I mean, are you kidding me? like these people have gardens?), and lots of stuff that features high fructose corn syrup. Winner is the first person who gives up and goes out to KFC instead. No, winner is, as usual, Sandra "Semi-Homemade" Lee, the millionaire who cooks like a poor person.
You crack me up, sir!
Rick, Thanks! Your comment reminds me of another show. The Crack hour! Join the fun as we visit Crack Houses around the world!
Michael your articles make me laugh every week! How do you do it???? I'll be sitting by watching my local listings…..
Oy!
