SCHMO!! BROTHER!! AMAZING!! REUNION!! COMIC!! Realityrama!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Yes, yes, all reality shows suck. We must take them off to make room for “Method & Red,” “Quintuplets” and “North Shore.” Shouldn’t we?
Well, there’s lots to yap about. For those who missed Monday night’s “Joe Schmo 2” the alert Ingrid got sucked through the fourth wall. Now a co-conspirator, she helps to pull the wool over the eyes of clueless contestant Tim and a new contestant who “thinks it’s all real.” It repeats Tuesday night.
Tonight sees the return of two of the best reality shows not called “Project Greenlight”: “Big Brother” and “The Amazing Race.” “Brother,” the only reality series that airs new episodes thrice weekly, is always a big summer hit for CBS, and grows in popularity with each succeeding season. Meet all the contestants – the youngest grouping ever, with no female over 30 and no contestant over 40 – here.
“Amazing Race,” on the other hand, was all but dead when its finale aired last August. An Emmy win the following month may account for its reappearance nearly a year later. (“Amazing” also returns to the regular schedule this autumn.) Meet all the contestants – including Alison, who took home more than $50,000 as the runner-up on “Big Brother 4” here.
The “Real World: San Diego” cast is reunited tonight with Frankie, the self-mutilator with puzzling romantic compulsions and a paralyzing fear of large watercraft. She is perhaps the craziest, if most compelling, housemate ever to grace the 14-year-old series, and I think we all look forward to seeing her bungee and hang from her ankles during many a future “Real World-Road Rules Challenge.”
Finally, “Last Comic Standing” continues to do a great job of showing Ant and John Heffron going all watery-eyed, and taking up valuable time with snooze-tastic group activities and immunity challenges.
Here’s a rundown of Tuesday’s insane glut of unscripted programming:
* “Big Brother 5”: 8 p.m. CBS.
* “Last Comic Standing”: 9 p.m. NBC.
* “The Amazing Race”: 9:30 p.m. CBS.
* “Joe Schmo” repeat: 10 p.m. Spike
* “Real World: San Diego Reunion”: 10 p.m. MTV.
If anyone knows what scared Larry King so bad his hair turned white, do get in touch.

She does, you know. Anyway, I missed tonight's "Joe Schmo", but am impressed at the ability of the writers to pull themselves out of this mess by conjuring up a new Jane Schmo. Of course, they got themselves into it by casting somebody who frankly was too smart in Ingrid, and then being WAY over the top in their writing (the scene where Cammy confesses in the bathroom was clumsy indeed). But it doesn't matter, as long as it's funny. And so far, it has been.
-
What happened to 'ya Herc? Sounds like you got the smae shitbag defense lawyer the state issued me.....And thus, hope you weren't somebody's bitch! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
Jay London will be the next comic to be eliminated, I imagine. His one-liners won't stand up to any of the other comic's sets, except for Ant's I suppose. Ant will likely be next after Jay.
-
but i liked rita the drunk. too bad she was sent hiking after the first show.
-
The big surprise here is that neither Big Brother or Amazing Race seems to have the token gay guy this year.
-
Big and fake doesn't equal good. Ingrid had much better breasts. Your crap reality shows versus crap fiction shows comparison doesn't really work Herc. It's like saying, sure shit is brown shit, but we need to make room for the green shit. I love Joe Schmo 2 (&1). But then I hate reality shows.
-
...don't you realize that your precious Angel would probably still be on the air if it weren't for Reality TV and it's insistance that everybody on TV must be under the age of 30? Don't you realize that your adored Firefly would still be zipping through the galaxy if Fox didn't have so many cheap-to-produce reality TV alternatives? Don't you realize that your precious Wonderfalls would still be bobbin' along in its barrell if Fox hadn't been seduced by affordable yet highly qualitative faire like The Littlest Groom? For someone who supposedly advocates quality television, your head is truly up your ass on this subject.

Amber Brkich, Jenna Morascu, Joe Schmo 1, Alison from BB/AR, one of this season's new BB contestants, A Last Comic Standing semi-finalist: all from Pittsburgh!
-
I love Ingrid, but her breasts realy sag. Both Ingrid and Cammy (Jana Speaker) would still look good without their breasts.
-
I only caught Schmo up until just after the elimination / collaboration ceremony. The best line was from Cammy after the reveal: "I'm not really dumb!". Sorry honey, you are. Probably more than anyone else on that show, you are responsible for dropping clues and letting Ingrid in on the scam. If your first instinct was to say "I'm not really dumb" that means that deep down, you think you are. That said, you do have AMAZING tits.
-
it seems like lately they'll label anything a spoiler...kinda lame. Also one of the cast members is over 40. bleh.
-
What the hell is Herc doing? This "reality" game-show horseshit format is a cancer. Herc is encouraging its insidious spread by talking about. The people who watch this crap should be deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves.
-
Damn, that's a diplomatic understatment. "Rancid Diarrhea" is more apt, I think.
-
They still have one up on Big Brother Australia, who this week miscounted the viewer votes and evicted the wrong person (Leggy Blonde Bree). When they realized the mistake, they snatched her from her eviction party, stuck her in lockdown, and let her back in the next day. But at least they ADMIT they screwed up, unlike American Idol.
-
You don't blame paper when your drawing sucks right? So why are people saying the sitcom is dying?
It's incompetent writers and producers not the medium's fault.
Same goes for Disney and 2D animation. So it's if treasure island was in 3D it wouldn't have been a gigantic flop? Really?
-
She's got a great future behind her! heh heh P.S. Marvin is a buddy of mine from college and only reason I watched my first episode of "Big Brother" last night. Except for my buddy and Adria (BOOTYFUL!) what a bunch of crumbs. Even the cowboy-punk girl sibling thing was a joke!

Some of the Big Brother contestants are related? No big surpris
by big jim
I have always just assumed that all reality TV contestants sprang from the same gene pool.

Has anyone else noticed that FOX couldn't bother to keep "Wonderfalls" but can show no end of encores of "Quints", "Method and Red", and "North Shore"? I vaguely remember a little show called "Cheers" that stayed on despite low ratings because NBC had nothing else to air. Well, doesn't FOX now have the same problem? Coupled with ridiculous-ass reality TV ("My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance", "The Littlest Groom", and my *personal favorite* for pissing on the television watching audience "The Swan"), I think I'll just leave FOX (harsh words, I know...they've got "Arrested Development" and new "Family Guy" coming down the pike)

Yes the little turd got the walking papers he so deserved!!!
