Guilty Pleasure: Reality TV

I hate the thought of watching sad or graphic tv shows with my downtime. Life can be pretty depressing, so why watch it for entertainment?

Some of my favorite shows are ones where they change someones life (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Deserving Design, The Biggest Loser, etc.) and business-related shows (The Celebrity Apprentice)… I think this just merged those two interests together.

Premieres after the Super Bowl

I’m pretty excited to DVR this. I watched the extended preview online and of course, got a little teary-eyed (but that’s what they wanted, of course).

It looks like one of the top leaders at Waste Management will be the first profiled on the show. What I think will be most interesting to see is if this is just a good marketing program aimed at building goodwill, or if it will actually lead to better top-down leadership at companies that employee lots of people.

PS – True confession, Nick and I watch Jersey Shore, too. Not changing any lives there, but it sure is good for some laughs!
