7 Little Johnstons

Just another "what zaney antics will they get up to this week" "reality" family show.

Frankly, I believe all of these shows are exploitative. People who are only being shown because they are: small, fat, had multiple births etc. In the old days we had something similar. They were called "freak shows" and people would pay a penny to gawk. They were no less exploitative then, as the televised versions are today. Think that is harsh? What exactly are you tuning in to see? They are not on TV because they are talented. It's just little people partaking in buffoonery so that rubes on their couches can have a cheap laugh.

All of these shows double as ads for local businesses and attractions. "Today we are going to....", and its just an episode of them doing whatever wacky hijinks at that particular venue.

Nothing is organic or believable. They have no real talent or entertainment value. Its just "we're little/fat/septuplets/polygamous/grew up without technology" (take your pick, they are all the same show.)

Just wait till it changes gears, and the family falls apart like they all do, and it's doom and gloom episodes, where they will talk a divorce to death like all of the other shows do, just to milk it dry.
