PBS has been running an ad campaign in New York featuring fake reality shows. Some of these are pretty funny.

Sadly, I can also imagine some unscrupulous TV producer at this very moment drawing inspiration from these ads and trying to make them reality - or should I say “reality.”
Anyway, I especially got a kick out of the “Bad Bad Bag Boys” poster. Clean up on every aisle.
I never watch reality shows (if you don’t count a couple episodes of “Project Runway”) and I have no interest in any of them, but I have to admit I’m kind of disappointed that “Knitting Wars” isn’t really a thing.
“The Dillionaire”, about a self-made pickle mogul, looked like a pretty funny premise too.
I’d still watch Tiny House.
Well, they could have a Jello wrestling match between the hosts of Knit & Crochet Today.
“In this corner we have that star of One Life to Live, ‘Kassie the Lassie’ DePaiva! And in this corner we have the knitting editor whose dimples could cut glass, ‘Brett the Babe’ Bara!”
I’d pledge.
Speaking of PBS and reality shows; does anyone else wish they’d do another historical recreation show like 1900 House or Manor House, but set on an antebellum plantation? 
I know that idea would never get approved, but it’d sure be a lancinating show to watch.
Reminds me of the MeTV commercial for “I Love Lucy”: you see a screenshot of “Real Housewives of Banana County”–which then switches to Fred Mertz kicking in a TV.
I remember one day I was on my PC with the TV playing in the other room and I heard a commercial for a show called “Extreme Couponing” and I assumed it was to be a parody that was really an ad for something else (like those Energizer ads from years ago). When I realized it was real, I honestly couldn’t believe it.
The woman on the treadmill next to me a week ago had My Dog Ate What? on the tv and I thought we can’t get any lower.
