David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

As if there weren't enough reasons to dislike reality TV, now every show on television seems to have learned from their reality brethren that a season can be stretched out with "new" material simply by repackaging the old. Very few dramas on TV these days pass up the opportunity to air a very special episode that consists of poorly strung together scenes from earlier episodes. Perhaps it's the fault of the TiVos. Regular old reruns no longer cut it, so TV execs had to make up something new while keeping expenses in check. They opened their eyes, saw what was happening on shows like "The Apprentice," and never looked back.
