    TV infested with phony shows? Somewhere Charles Van Doren is laughing.

    As most of us here who are collectors can appreciate, the thing I hate about shows like Pawn Stars and Storage Wars is that it gives people a false impression about the value of antiques and collectibles because now everybody thinks they're sitting on a gold mine because "they saw it on Pawn Stars."

    This genre of shows is one of the main reasons I loathe modern television and steadfastly refuse to get cable service. Who needs 100 and some channels of drek??

    My guilty pleasures are Storage Wars, Storage Wars Texas, Storage Wars New York, American Hoggers and occasionally Duck Dynasty.

    There. I said it.

    I think the only television I watched this month has been the (reality show) Wartime Farm, which suffers from being far more contrived than the precursor, Victorian Farm.

    My wife watches these awful Real Housewifes of shows. You could not come up with a better idea to denigrate women - they lounge around all day, getting facelifts and complaining about each other behind their backs. They are worth what their last husband is/was worth. Frankly, the people that put these shows together hate women. That's all I can think about it.

    Amen.

    I had the unpleasant experience of cable a few years ago at a family member's. It was maddening. 20 minutes of commercials per hour all timed so that if you start flipping you never see anything but commercials. And will never return the the original program. What was worse was dancing graphics plastered all over the actual show rendering the entire thing unwatchable.

    Life is way too short for that BS.
