Gettin too old for this

I'm back...school work has to come first. Anyway,

Shows on MTV and BET make me feel like I'm 40 years old. However, I'm only in my early 20's. The programming is meaningless and has no substance.

Case in point, The Real World and College Hill (The Real World with color). Both of these shows have nothing to offer to me. I watch it and it's the same thing, over and over again. The token gay person, the ho, the player, the conservative Christian, the "girl that nobody likes but always has something to say," and the frat boy. Why don't we get tired of these programmings. Why do we feel we still have to watch it?

TRL and 106th and Park are just not the same anymore. The hosts/V-jays that they have now are just horrible. Nobody sings live anymore and if they do they surely don't sound like their CD recording, which really annoys me since I'm a big fan of vocalists.

Even the dating shows have become a bit much and MTV is filled with them now. They would probably be fine if it wasn't for the obvious scripting that occurred during the confessionals. They are the cheesiest one-liners that I've ever heard. It's so fake, soooooooo fake.

Also, just with BET, that new Lil' Kim show, well I'm not sure what all that is going to entail but I'm sure it will be a hot mess. I'll admit though, at times this show might be funny yet embarrassing to the black community all at the same time. There's nothing new to black people laughing at something that is degrading to them. We've let BET and UPN last this long.

I'm surprised that the younger generations still look forward to this type of television. I miss the days of sitcoms and real actors on television. I guess that's just a thing of the past now.
