April Fool's Gets Real About Reality
Wed, Apr 2, 2003 05:07 PM PDT  
 
 
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Many would argue that reality programming has gotten out of hand, but Comedy Central may have made the best statement on Tuesday, April 1 when it began to air promos for its slate of eight new reality shows, including such titles as "Poor Fools," "Celebrity CAT Scans" and "Really Blind Date."  
 
Each promo ended with the words "Get Real" tipping off savvy viewers that network heads have not completely taken leave of their senses just yet. The network also sent out a press release to the press giving more detailed descriptions of their reality offerings. Some highlights include:
 
 
"Trading Babies" : Two couples, two days and one black market.
 
"While You Were Drunk" : He swore he'd never get into bed with a girl like her. She never thought she'd leave with a guy like him. You won't believe how just eight to 10 beers will change their perspectives. We're bringing America into a different bar every week to find out: how many beers does it take to get two random, unattractive people to agree to have sex? You choose the victims. We buy the drinks. They get it on.
 
"Handicap House," aka "He-She-He" : He doesn't have limbs. She has the IQ of a third grader. He hears voices in his head. We've convinced them, and others like them, to move in with us. One house, 10 people, $50 million. Just because they're special people, doesn't mean they're getting any special treatment. Who will be the last one standing?
 
"Joe Mormon" : Twenty women to choose from, two months to decide -- can he get four of these lucky ladies to say "I do, I do, I do, I do" ? "Joe Mormon," thank God he doesn't have to choose just one.
In a related bit of tomfoolery, the critics, satirists and occasional pranksters at teevee.org gave over their site to a re-creation of ABC's. Under the guise that the alphabet network and home to "The Bachelor," "The Family," "Are You Hot?" "All-American Girl," ad nauseum has decided to shuttle off "Alias," "Dragnet" and a handful of their indistinguishable comedies to the other Disney-owned networks ABC Family, Disney Channel and ESPN2, the new lineup weeps with the titles "The Confirmed Bachelor," "Real Puppets," "Crossing Guards!" "Are You Stupid?," "American Pimp" and "American Embryo."

"Senility Prayer"...God grant me...
The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
