Wife Swap. Undercover Boss. Dancing With the Stars. And my personal favorite, Dating in the Dark. When it comes to reality television, you tend to get exactly what it says on the package, thanks to titles as unsubtle as the shows themselves.
It makes scripted shows’ titles seem downright coy, doesn’t it? We wonder what it would be like to live in a world where dramas and sitcoms had such direct names. Hmm… (Cue wavy dissolve.)
Bones: Entrails, Forced Banter, and a Slumming Deschanel (Mostly Entrails)
Two and a Half Men: Enablin’ Charlie Sheen
$#*! My Dad Says: $#*!
Fringe: X-Files, but Sucky
CSI: Woosh! Carnage
Rules of Engagement: All Couples Hate Each Other, Isn’t It Hilarious?
Perfect Couples: Yep.
The Event: The Event Was A Boring Alien Invasion
Blue Bloods: An Aristocratic Family in – Ha, No, It’s a Crime Drama, We’re CBS, Have You Met Us?
