REALITY CHECK

According to my good friends, Merriam-Webster:



Reality (noun)

1 the quality or state of being real

2 a (1) : a real event, entity, or state of affairs (2) : the totality of real things and events b : something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exists necessarily



I'm not sure how necessary the existence of the following might be. CBS has lost it's reality-loving mind, and has ordered up two new series. The first, according to Variety Magazine, will be a reality program to search for the next "Diva of Domesticity." Poor Martha! She doesn't even have her hat, and the door is already hitting her ass on the way out (see Schick Quattro, below). I think this series could be mildly amusing, especially if you get some good personalities in there. Plotting and intrigue amongst the fitted sheets. It has potential.



CBS is also seeking casting for a show called The Will. It's currently seeking a rich idiot to be the benefactor in a program where family members will compete to be named heir of the fortune. Said contestant is asked to have a sizeable sense of humor, because, I don't know, nothing says funny like the wacky hijinks of blood relatives trying to charm and swindle money out of Uncle Geezer while they serve him arsenic laden Earl Grey Tea.



Next week on The Will

Is Uncle Geezer dumb enough to sign a piece of paper without reading it first?

Will he find himself at Gummy Acres Retirement Center?

Tune in and find out!




And what will be the catch phrase for this show?

1. You're out of the will!!

2. You will, but I Won't!!

3. Where there's my will, there's no way!



Mmmmm. Pass.
