Meet My Folks on NBC...something inherently wrong with this show

[NFS4]

I just can't put my finger on it, but this show just seems SOOOOOOO wrong on many levels. It's almost as if they are whoring (is that even a word?) out their daughter to three losers.

If I had a daughter, I could never put her through that kind of sh!t

I wish "reality" televison would die.

In fact, I wish all televison would die. Waste of life and time.

I'm watching it while working out with the sound off so I can listen to my music so I have no idea what they're saying. Looks like they're pimping out the daughter and trying to work the MILF angle too. And they have your typical guys to choose from (1) pretty boy rebel type who the daughter immediately gravitates to (2) middle of the road looking guy (3) wormier looking guy who I'm assuming has a witty sense of humor or personality. Gotta love "reality" TV

I second that!!

I call most television like that "Movies for the mentally incompetent".

Substitute "movies" with "music" when talking about country music.

Waiting for the dad to open up a can o' whoopass, if looks could kill it would be game over for those doodz.

The dad freaked out at dinner when that one dud asked those questions, each of the three were supposed to get the answer to a question or have a dirty secret revealed, one dude tried to play it off and started asking the mom where was the weirdest place she had sex and how many times a week they did it, the dad was :|

 

[ElFenix]

sounds like something that would be on fox.

inherently wrong? You mean just like every other goddamn reality show out there?

I kept thinking to myself, these guys are going through all of this embarrassment and humiliation for a girl who isn't even filthy rich! She must be able to suck the chrome off a bumper, is all I can figure. Why would anyone put themselves out there like that when ditzy barbie doll looking chicks are a dime a dozen?

It was rather funny watching the guys squirm, though, I thought. I laughed pretty hard a few times.

But in the end, the girl didn't even want to be with the guy who was chosen by her father to go on the trip! I would immediately disqualify myself if I knew that, I'm nobody's second choice, as much as I'd love to go to the Maui or where ever.

And yet another example that nice guys finish last! In the end, the girl wanted to be with the womanizing Keanu Reaves-wannabe sporting a 1.60GPA and dropped-out of college after 4 days. But he is 'charming' (read: he tells me all the things I want to hear so he can get in my panties).

That show is pretty retarded imho

 

[Chadder007]

I don't like any of it either, but its not going to go away till people quit watching it.
I find it rather degrading of the daughters.

Did anyone notice how on Monday's episode, the one guy looked like Tom Cruise and then the other guy looked like Barry Van ***'s son? Heh, I watch Diagnosis Murder too much
