Shows Whose Popularity I Don't Get

So after reading an article on Foxnews.com about whether or not some chick on Grey's Anatomy will return or not made me wonder why that show is so popular. Along with Grey's Anatomy, here is a list of shows that make me wonder why people are so nuts about them.

  1. American Idol. So far it's produced two actual stars, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. The rest have been talentless dogs. Even the crappy auditions at the beginning of the season are boring now.
  2. Survivor. Is this show even on anymore? I think they should really make it challenging like, Survivor: Darfur or Survivor: Baghdad.
  3. Lost. First, has anyone ever survived a plane crash at sea? Second, if so, wouldn't the Navy be looking for them? This show apparently went from quasi-believable to absolute insanity with like time travel or something.
  4. CSI (all forms). I understand the interest in how a crime is solved. However, it's well documented that criminals watch these shows and are becoming more savvy in their crimes. People now expect that all crimes should be solved in the allotted one hour and get pissy when they don't. Shouldn't those be reasons to yank it off the air?
  5. Dancing With the Stars. Seriously? We give a rat's ass about celebrities and ballroom dancing?
  6. Keeping Up with the Kardashians. This is the most self-absorbed group of nitwits on TV. They're claim to fame? Being the offspring of one of OJ Simpson's lawyers and step-kids of Bruce Jenner. I can't understand why a mother would allow her daughters to act like total tramps on television and Bruce Jenner...BRUCE!!!What the hell? You go from Olympic glory to this crap?
  7. Prison Break. Like Lost, I can't postpone reality long enough to believe that it's this easy to get out of maximum security. Otherwise, Charlie Manson would be my neighbor.

I'll still check the CSI shows from time to time. the rest? Ehh. Like TV in general.

Charlie can't be your neighbor. He's been ours since he was incarcerated for the Tate murders. Why do we get to house all the nutjobs in the country?
