I've made my position on reality shows pretty clear (see April 10th should you need a refresher). I have to give them this: as they proliferate, they manage to sink ever lower.
So it came as no surprise when I overheard a party guest recently talk about yet another new show. I could swear she said "American Hawkers." Knowing full well the types of people these shows appeal to, my mind skipped over the noble sport of Hawking (with the actual birds) and even Carny-type hawkers selling things.
Nay, my mind went immediately to a show about competitive spitting. Sounded very much in keeping with the "reality" genre and bound to appeal to today's viewers.
Despite having misheard her say "American Hoggers" (big surprise - an actual show), I still think we'll see competitive spitting before this genre's run is over.
