Time To Take Out The Trash
Far from being in need of life support equipment, Reality T.V. does appear to have a new kid on the block - White Trash, Redneck Television. Bubba is finally getting the recognition he's longed for since his prize rooster was killed in a cock fight. This genre seems to fall in one of three subcatagories. There are the shows that reflect it's existance, like "My Name Is Earl," "Judge Judy" and "Cops." Then there are the shows that actually celebrate it's presence like "Redneck Comedy Tour." The most pathetic of this group seems to be the shows that actually encourage this type of behavior, such as "Jerry Springer" and "Maury Povich." Yes, this genre has been around on and off for some time, notably with "Hee-Haw" and "The Beverly Hillbillies," but now it seems to actually make this type of behavior "acceptable." So, fire up the still and pull out that bag of pork rinds 'cuz cousin Darlene is about to bitch slap that tramp in the next trailer on "Jerry Springer."
