My wife was flipping channels and noticed something so outrageous at first we thought it was some kind of parody commercial or something, but we soon realized (to our disgust) we were on the FOX channel, and they were indeed promoting "The Littlest Groom", a bachelor-like reality show featuring...yes, midgets.

GORRAM FOX!!!

Yes, I saw that on in the dining hall tonight. My head then proceeded to explode out of SHEER TERROR!

Please excuse me while I vomit.

What is even worse is the ad for their next show...

Basically, it's the bachelorette except half the guys are gay. If she choses a straight guy, they split $1 mil. If she choses a gay guy, he gets all of it himself.

Guess when it airs. Fridays at 8p eastern. Yep, THIS is what they cancelled Firefly for.

If the special hell is for people who talk at the theatre, where do Fox execs go?

I heard about this new show while I was driving today. Laughed out loud at how low FOX will go... no pun intended.

FOX wants to position itself as the 'crusty, grotty, sleezy, brain stem inspired' viewing niche market.

When FOX cancelled Firefly, it was a statement against broadcasting anything smart, unique, artistic and thought provoking.

That is so true, I can't understand this obsession with so-called reality TV, as if anyone involved in these shows resemble a real person. It's just like in the 80's when everything was comedies, until people got sick of them. The programmers are all so intent on jumping on the bandwagon that they don't think they will outmarket themselves.

I saw the promotion for the diminuitive bachelor, and think that they have truly reached a low, and are going simply for shock. How pathetic.

I used to record a fair amount of shows, but find myself making that tape really last anymore. Don't any advertisers want my money?

I can so understand the disgust everyone feels for this constant barrage of so called "reality" garbage that Fox keeps cranking out.

Not fifteen minutes ago a group of 4 employees in my department stood outside my office door discussing last night's "My Big Fat Obnoxious Finacee". You guessed it, another Fox gift to the already numb public.

What is sickening is that people watch this garbage, and I hear several of them say excitedly how they can't wait for the next episode. It makes me want to scream, to shake them and say "It is because of people like you that TV is killing great shows like Firefly! It is because of people like you that Fox is leading the way in networks spiralling television programming right into the sewer."

Maybe they should start a Jerry Springer Network for all of these people so they can get their "reality" fix 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Damn you Fox, and all other networks that feel the need to assail our intelligence w/ this filth you call reality shows!

I think what you are seeing is Hollywood in full burnout mode. All the stories, show ideas etc, are "been there, done that" etc. and have no idea what to do. So they do "reality TV" because they ain't got no ideas left.

And they WON'T LET JOSS ALONE, and let him put shows on the air.
