Celebrities vs. Newlyweds
This evening I’ve decided to schedule a couple of recordings for the DVR, afterall, summer is coming and we know that summer shows are pretty much the bottom of the network barrel, right? So tonight I recorded “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” and “Here Come the Newlyweds.”
“I’m a Celebrity” — first I think that it’s a reality show’s right of passage to have a Baldwin grace the cast. Throw in a female wrestler, an NBA star, a couple of cable TV comedians, an American Idol, and 2 whiney socialites and this show has disaster written all over it! Heidi and Spencer have absolutely no reason to be in the lime light. It reminds me of the time when Sean Penn would act out for attention during his younger “look at me” years. Who was it that cast them for The Hills? Are you still employed? If so, please tell me that at some point you were reprimanded during your yearly evaluation for that decision! As for Mr. Baldwin — I’ve come to love your level-headedness on reality shows – loved you on The Mole!
As for the Newlyweds — too funny! If celebrities in the jungle is a train wreck, then Newlyweds is a blimp passing overhead — you acknowldege it, and wonder how long it will circle your neighborhood.I have to admit, this show made me laugh, after watching it, I wasn’t sure if I was happy to be single or longing for a boyfriend. To the wife who totally slapped her husband’s privates because he embarrassed her in front of Dr. Ruth — that just wasn’t nice! On another note — to the husband who farted on his wife’s hands when she felt his butt – you totally had my rolling!
