Reality TV Shows

Who needs to watch reality tv shows when, it seems to me, that our lives are dramatic enough? The other day I was at a dinner party and the conversation revolved around problems. I was listening to the guests complain about their issues, the issues with their kids, the issues with their significant others, the issues with their jobs, their issues with their issues. Omg! I was wishing there was a camera rolling so we could have the whole conversation recorded. It was scary. But it also makes me feel a bit grateful because it keeps me thinking that, in comparison, my problems are minimal. Who needs reality tv shows when grim reality is all around us?
