Watch MTV and the iTunes for episodes of the new hit show Geordie Shore and you will see similarities to the popular Jersey Shore. For one thing the show has its own group of "party hard" individuals who live together in an upscale house, share bedrooms, and each as their own reasons to be there. The Geordie Shore show is a British based program coming from the UK and having decidedly British points of view. The filming of Geordie Shore has been stated to be bordering pornographic due to bare breasts, six packs, fights, and simulated fellatio. Each of these vain individuals have their own reasons to submit to "reality" television. Holly states she is the most realistic "fake" person there is and her size double F chest (paid for by her mom) is a testament to that. Then there is Jay who loves himself too much to get involved with a female on the Geordie Shore show. His idea of a relationship is about him and his workouts at the gym. James, who is only 20, must check himself out each time he passes a mirror. Sophie likes to flash her "boobs" while dancing on table tops. Quite an interesting group!

The Curse of Oak Island is a reality television show that airs on the History Channel. The show follows brothers Rick and Marty Lagina as they try to uncover the secrets of Oak Island, a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. The island has a long history of treasure hunting, dating back to the late 1700s, when legends of buried pirate treasure began to circulate. Despite many attempts over the years, no one has been able to locate any significant treasure on the island.

"Big Brother" numbers among those long-running (unreal) reality shows that keep rolling along on their own momentum long after the thrills have gone. Originally adapted from a popular Dutch series, "Big Brother" puts thirteen carefully chosen strangers in a house heavily wired with cameras and microphones, capturing every word, gesture, and nuance. The producers challenge their "guests" to complete a series of physical and mental "stunts," periodically polling their feelings about who among them should go home. The one guest who stays longest goes home with half-a-million American dollars. Although "Big Brother's" novelty has faded, even the most stony-hearted and cynical critics must accord the superannuated series its props: When an online streaming service attempted a similarly contrived "residential situation," capitalizing on the industry's newest, most sophisticated audio and video technology, it faded to black in less than a month. At the other end of the scale, when MTV adapted "Big Brother's" premise for use along the New Jersey coastline, it became a cultural phenomenon, and "Snooki" became a household word. Clearly, it's not the premise but the chemistry that determines the show's fate. Therefore, credit "Big Brother" with good chemistry and agree to roll along with the momentum.

Whether you are a comic book aficionado or not you might really enjoy watching Comic Book Men, American Movie Classics (AMC) venture into the world of "reality television". Host Kevin Smith, himself a popular director, writer, and actor in his films such as Clerks, Mallrats, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in which he usually plays the character of Silent Bob, is co-owner of the Secret Stash along with Walter Flanagan, Mike Zapcic, Bryan Johnson, and Ming Chen. An expert in the world of comic book collecting enters the store and help them rate and buy or turn down some comics brought in by clients. Rob "Jack's Guy" Bruce is an expert and considered a popculturist in the field. Modern comic books are far more than the "pulp fiction" of old and today they are highly collectable along with lots of movie memorabilia that many collect, such as autographs. Those who draw for the comic book industry are now held in high esteem, and even considered artists. We who love comics will appreciate the collectors that preserve them so we can still enjoy those 10c comics of long ago and the Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in New Jersey is the place to find them.

The premise of this program was to have a panel of guest "experts" help couples with marriage difficulties settle their disagreements without resorting to such disastrous results as a divorce. Often shown in a comedic light, these couples generally argue over issues they take very seriously but the audience may find them laughable. A celebrity panel views a video put together showing what the couple disagree on and decide who should "win" the battle. Additionally there will be a celebrity fact checker who provides solutions through expert consultation which may even include search engine results. The real life couples, which are chosen by producer Jerry Seinfeld, must agree to abide by the panel's decision. The program is not designed to be a sit-com but it does have many humorous moments as a result of the silliness of some couples disagreements. At the end of the show couples usually win a cruise which makes it all worth while. Last heard the show was renewed for a second season even though critics hated it. Let's vote them out and let the guest "experts" decide.

If you like watching shows like the Jersey Shore and all those Housewives of"¦ somewhere, you just might fall in love with Russian Dolls. Full of hair extensions, sex, arguing, gold chains, partying, drinking (vodka of course), and plenty of techno style music, these Russian Dolls are not the type to sit on a collectors shelf. Brighton Beach is home to the largest Russian American gathering place in New York. This community has plenty to show off including young beautiful women such as Anastasia, a 26 year old who has long blonde hair (with help from some hair extensions), deep tan, toned body, and ample make up. Her future hopes include college graduation but she's not trying very hard. The Levitis', Marina and Michael are owners of a popular local nightclub and Michael has somehow become involved with corruption that involves a state Senator. But don't let the gold chains, sex, and non stop partying keep you from watching Russian Dolls. After all the show's producers were out and about drumming up cast members by posting signs advertising for the next "Situation" or "Snooki" characters to step up and audition for the show. Just like other shows with similar formats, Russian Dolls are not afraid to showcase their intimate lives and all the sordid details viewers could ever ask for. Not exactly the prostitution game as the name implies, but plenty of steamy sex and exhibitionism.
