As both of my regular readers know, I hate ‘reality’ television with a passion that could crush a planet. And the creatively vacant people at Lifetime are about to prove why even that depth of revulsion is barely enough.

On November 11 they will debut a six-part series called, “Blush: The Search for the Next Great Makeup Artist.” Contestants will fight for $100,000, a contract with Max Factor and a shoot for ‘InStyle.’ magazine. Lifetime’s press release says Max Factor’s name and logo will be integrated into “every element of the show, from product use to a branded studio.”

The show is produced by MediaVest, the ad agency for Procter and Gamble…who own Max Factor.

So Lifetime intend to create six obsequious, undiluted infomercials then present them to the audience as a serious contest, without a trace of regard for those viewers’ intelligence. And each one will be stuffed with honest commercials to really drive up the profits.

As with all reality shows, everyone on the set will be non-union. So despite Lifetime’s vast potential profit from this disingenuous insult, not one Actor will get a single day’s work. And this is the kind of programming we’re supposed to get excited about seeing in Hi-Def.

I’m glad it’s the weekend. I think we all need ten-pounds of Hershey’s and at least two days to get over such a shameless assault.

When you’re sixty you’re expected to be a little slow and forgetful. After fifty-nine years of unfettered practice, aided by the cream of this glorious nation’s performing community, the Emmy’s are entitled to no such concession.

Some TV critics are giving this ghastly spectacle overly-kind and upbeat reviews. I would be guilty of fraud and intellectual rape if I even considered it right to concur. The entire, skillfully-coutured charade was 15-minutes of worthwhile viewing squeezed into 3-hours of mind-crushing banality, then smothered in lip gloss and hosed with cheap perfume. All it lacked was a street lamp to lean on.

According to Neilsen, 12.2 million people watched the show – one of its lowest ratings in 15-years. And I couldn’t act surprised if you paid me! Everyone on that stage was there because the Emmys consider them the best of their kind…And that was the best they could do.

If this was their report card, they should deem themselves lucky to get more than an “F”.

Since arriving in the US she’s launched a clothing line no-one would wear and a perfume no-one could stand, and added her name to the cover of two books which left critics utterly non-plussed by the surprising absence of crayon. Now she wishes to be known as a gourmand.

So let’s see if we’ve got this right; A being who has already proven to a world whose indifference to her very existence is boundless that she can’t sing, dance or act now wants to show beyond any possible hope of recant that she can’t cook.

Is there no beginning to this woman’s talent?

Actually, to be fair, she’ll be joint partners in the eatery with Gordon Ramsey. So as far as I can see, it’s business as usual; Her first ill-advised venture into unwarranted notoriety was achieved with someone else providing the voice. This time, she’s got someone else cooking the food.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Mr Bocho accuses the Networks of devolving into purveyors of programming he has no interest in providing. In other words, “Reality” series. He also tells Forbes that the Nets are obsessed with micromanaging every detail of a production…which comes as no surprise at all.

From the man who was largely responsible for “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law,” “NYPD Blue,” and a string of other top-rated shows that earned the very same networks millions in ad revenues, this is a damming indictment of the state of America’s broadcast media. The sad part, however, is: 1) How unarguably right his view is, and 2) The total absence of anyone in a similar position with the courage to agree, or even speak out at all.

I mean, when was the last time you watched a quality program on a broadcast network?

Let’s say it: American television is about money. First, last and only. Not shows, not quality, and certainly not the audience – Just the dollars. And as Mr. Bochco has proven, it shows. They make intellectual chewing gum for an audience they believe possess the IQ of wool, crush any spark of originality or creativity out of it with obsessive over-management, then infest it with commercials to make as much cash as possible.

…Then they wonder why people don’t watch??

The Summer hiatus is over and so are the Games. The ‘Fall’ season could be the Nets’ chance to repent and refocus their priorities. What do you think — Will they recant and finally show us – the audience – some respect, or will they just go on as before?

Leave a comment and let’s take a poll…

“MTV is looking for girls willing to shed 30-80 lbs to become a model and win $100,000!” says the brazen announcement for ‘Model Maker’ on MTV’s site.

There’s no other word for it: This is sick.

Driven by the incessant and powerful influences exerted on them by the media this show’s target audience of teenage and young-adult girls are already susceptible to the slightest negative perception of their appearance or value. And now a network, whose content and performers could be justifiably cited as a prominent source of this withering propaganda [Try and name one plus-sized Singer or Model?] plan to selfishly exploit this terrorizing insecurity and need for validation to boost ratings and their own bottom line.

The show’s still in casting and may not debut for months [or, please God, ever!] but the mental imagery is already worrying; I see long lines of young girls and their Mothers standing patiently in line outside MTV’s offices, keen to let the station exploit their young darling’s paralyzing fears about her own value and worth…which MTV helped create in the first place.

If anyone has suggestions as how we might change MTV’s [excuse me while I use an irrelevant term] ‘mind’ about this, I’d be happy to hear them. Meantime, I’m off for a sandwich…
