Jon and Kate Plus 8 and "Reality" Entertainment

I feel bad that I have not blogged in a while. I have been really busy and basically couldn't find anything good to blog about. But ah ha! Tonight I watched something on TV that might be somewhat new age tech-related. I watched the new season premiere of Jon and Kate Plus 8 and was frankly disappointed. I guess I didn't know what to expect after all the crap that has been going on. I am kind of looking at "reality" TV shows as a whole as with anybody who is famous or chose to be a celebrity. They chose to be in the public eye. I have little sympathy for what happens to them and don't care to hear about how annoyed they are at the paparazzi. They're the ones who want to be famous and flaunt.

As for most reality series that are contained on the TLC network, these people are usually large or unusual families just wanting to give the public an insight on what their lives are like. Too bad Jon Gosselin was an idiot and cheated on his wife. The series Jon and Kate Plus 8 has been popular for the past few years and has been entertaining to the eye with its sextuplets and crazy yet organized lifestyle that is presented. I am so amazed that not only shows on VH1 that are considered reality shows are popular in today's culture but also that families have allowed their lives to be exposed. It is a neat idea, but like anything else in the public eye, when drama happens, things can crumble. I guess its the reoccurring thought I have at the end of almost every one of my posts; what is this world coming to? I loved that show, but now I don't enjoy watching it knowing that something bad broke them, they are not the cute show they once were and things will never be the same. This season seems as though both Jon and Kate will be interviewed alone on certain things and that a divorce might be in the future. It is so sad. But today, it seems like this type of television programming has become highly popular entertainment. All I have to say is wow.
