I just wanted to point out to everyone that the DVD for Fox's Paris Hilton-based reality show "The Simple Life" will be out TWO DAYS after the season ends. And we had to wait nearly a year. Those bastards.

That's because Simple Life was quality television. You put all the time and effort into finding someone with star quality like that, two of them no less, and you get magic. I mean, the chemistry between NIcole and Paris? Phenomenal. With all the research, dedication, and effort put into that show by Fox execs I'm surprised it wasnt better recieved. The ... how can I even put it ... complexity of the interactions of the people in that town was just priceless, as was the power in the scene with the cow. My God, I think America should riot- riot I say! - because that DVD isnt coming out the very day after it ends!

Let me translate between the lines with smileys:

I personally didn't need another reason. Between cancellations of shows like Family Guy, Futurama, and of course Firefly, they're pretty much iredeemable. If it weren't for The Simpsons, I'd probably never watch Fox again.

Somehow, I dont think you'll have to worry about that- I'm pretty sure that goes without saying anyway-
And here's something I dont get- I buy DVD series for the dialogue, the acting, etc. etc., to get commentary on shows that have at least some meaning (I just picked up Bab5 S4) or have great writing- Why would you even buy Simple Life on DVD? I was told by a friend who watched it that they get fired from their job at one point; How many times can that be funny? What I'm trying to say is, I'll get on here, read a post about something in an episode, and re-watch it to see if it affects how I viewed the show- What more can you even get out of two rich idiots getting fired from a burger joint? There's no symbolism (unless you count the show as a symbol that America is dumbing down

) or meaning there- Can anyone please tell me why people are obsessed with watching other people look stupid? Anna Nicole, Simple Life, Newlyweds, etc. - Frankly, watching people that stupid gives me a migraine

-
Just curious-

I agree. Only reason, because I can't stand

"reality" television. I hate it.

There was nothing a little riot couldn't help. Yes! Riot!

Have you read the "Breaking News- sponsored by Channain"? I'll put it here, it's very funny.

The sad thing is that "The Simple Life" (read as Simpleton Shameless Attempt at Ratings) got good ratings while it aired. Looks the ratings floated somewhere between 3.4 & 5.4. I would account most of that to the sex tape scandal of Paris Hilton & Fox shamelessly playing on that notoriety. Guess morals and the shameless pursuit of money & ratings don't mix.

Bottom line is that lots of men tuned in to watch that garbage wanting to ogle Paris Hilton. Personally I do not see the fascination. I do not think she is that pretty and she has all the personality of a cardboard box. Of course at least the cardboard box serves a purpose which is more than can be said for our Ms Hilton.

I bet the DVD will sell, but will not match the numbers of viewers that tuned in to the show.

Fox is the devil. May they burn in a special hell.

You really should have more consideration for other's feelings. This is an insult to cardboard boxes everywhere.
