Help! I’ve fallen in the wrong demographic box and I can’t get out!

I’m so stupid! I can’t believe I let myself get reeled into yet another trashy reality TV show targeted to the 12-24 audience. But it’s just so bad that it’s good and I have to share.

This time it’s E’s “Filthy Rich Cattle Ranch”. If you haven’t seen it, the “concept” (note the quotes) is that a bunch of late teen/early 20-something sons and daughters of wealthy and/or famous people are responsible for, of all things, driving a herd of cattle somewhere. I don’t even know where. I mean, who really cares when you’ve got the son of George Foreman, Robert Blake and Anthony Quinn mixing it up with the daughter of Pat Benatar, Lou Ferrigno and Terri Semel….just to name a few. One of my favorite quotes comes from Noah Blake (who apparently thinks his herding skills are “totally superior” to the rest of the group): “It was strange going out on dates with new people and they’re like ‘What does your dad do’? and I’m like ‘Uh…you know. Murder trial.” Need I type more?

One of my faves is Fabian Basabe, son of an Ecuadorian business tycoon. He threatens the ranch hands with slander because they call him lazy. He leaves during a crucial herding moment to find his $2000 jacket he lost in a field somewhere. He laughs when his charity loses money because he went “into town” to see a movie. And I bet he and Kristin from “Laguna Beach” have, like, TOTALLY done it!

Someone please….take the remote from me.
