I keep hearing about these summer shows coming up that I didn't even know existed. Like this one. It's a new reality show from Mike Fleiss (
The Bachelor, etc) called
There Goes The Neighborhood. They actually put up a twenty foot wall around a neighborhood in Atlanta, GA and cut off all of the residents from the outside world completely (though I wonder if it's really completely or just enough-to-play-the-game completely). The residents will have to interact with each other more than they probably have in the past and will also try to win money and prizes.
This could be an interesting experiment or a reality show-themed episode of
The Twilight Zone: "Who Wants To Be A Monster On Maple Street?"

There are several things that bother me about the new CBS show Armed & Famous, which debuts this Wednesday at 8pm. One, it's another damn reality show.

But the main reason I'm bothered about the show is this: the ads keep saying that the show is going to feature "real celebrities" going to work as real cops. Um...since when are people like Erik Estrada and "that guy from Jackass" real celebrities? Latoya Jackson? She has a weird brother. Jack Osbourne? He's the son of a weird father. The hot blonde chick is...um, who is she again?

The
How I Met Your Mother star
told Craig Ferguson (scroll down) that he wants to be on a
celebrity version of
The Amazing Race, because he loves the show so much.
And this gets me
thinking: what celebs would you like to see on a celebrity edition of the show? I think they should team up Andy Dick
and Bill O'Reilly on one team. That'd be fun to watch.
