Granted reality-based TV shows (and that's how they should be described "reality-based") are an acquired taste.
I don't watch any of the singing/dancing/see how funny I am kind a shows. I'm amazed Kristie has the TV time to keep up with'em all!
Given the opportunity at some TV watching time I'm into the business-related ones like "Bar Rescue", "Kitchen Nightmares" and "The Profit". They entertain and teach (me) at the same time. I'll catch some "Storage Wars" or "Shipping Wars" for mindless fun.
That being said "Big Brother" starts tonight and that's another of those mindless fun kinda things.
