Outrageous Kid Parties

There is plenty of good TV, if you look carefully - National Geographic, History channels, there are several Discovery Channel off shoots that have good stuff, and there's always CSpan - your government in action - or NOT, depending.

There will always be people willing to spend stupid amounts of money, it's just now they get rewarded by TV appearances. But we don't have to watch them!

You're right Karen - these stations are basically all I watch anymore, with the exception of network stations for the news and a few other decent shows like 20/20 or Dateline or 48 Hours Mystery etc. If I didn't have cable and only got the network stations, my t.v. would almost never be on.

How is that so much money ends up in the hands of someone willing to spend it on absolute nonsense? Do people really have hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste on things like this- or are they getting paid to do it by tv networks? I can safely say no amount of money would ever tempt me to be on reality tv.

That's so true...how much good would that coin do the cat rescue group I belong to?

There are loads of good shows that are licensed from the BBC; some feature Stephen Hawking and others feature other physicists like Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson. (Yeah, I'm such a nerd!)

That's normal! Not outrageous like these people. These people let the children walk all over them. The kids get WHATEVER they want WHEN they want it. And the child is only 5!! Like I said, I have never watched a full episode, only parts. But it was enough to see the spoiled rotten brats. Then when they turn 16 they'll be on the other show....Sweet 16.

POM you sound like me a few years ago when I saw what parents were spending for their kids' birthdays. I guess it didn't occur to them that they could bank the money for their education later.....makes you wonder about people today, where will it all end I wonder.

Big difference taking a family vacation in honour of Hannah's birthday and throwing $30,000 on stupidity that most kids won't care about tomorrow. At least this is something the whole family enjoys and people do need vacations.....all work and no play....
