Televison has went Bye-Bye.

Well it finally happened; the television industry has officially run out of ideas for reality shows and scrapped the bottom of the barrel in an attempt to create something to satisfy the whims of reality audiences everywhere. This morning I read that the creator of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk, Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee is on the hunt for a new superhero, and he plans to find it on reality TV.

The release said that eleven wannabe superheros — whittled down from over 200 — are set to compete in the show, scheduled to premiere July 26 on the Sci-Fi channel. The winning superhero will be the star of a new comic book created by Lee.

My imagination had an entire field day and went into overtime with the news of this release with insane visions of spandex clad muscle-bound “Hulk Endowed” men running around the streets of New York saving kittens from trees and women from bad relationships. Accompanying these sad caricatures of man-hood were spandex clad women, faced masked, capes flowing in the morning breeze saving these same men from a life of comic books and living with their Mother and never knowing what a relationship is.

As if this pathetic and sad scenario is not bad enough, they have announced the catch phrase for those who do not make the cut, "Turn in your spandex!"

The television industry has been dedicated to reality shows for so long that they have lost sight of any other form of programming. They constantly create shows containing the entertainment values of watching the grass grow in the front yard and then question why their ratings have hit the bottom. I guess we will just have to wait for the next superhero and watch as he or she flies into our televisions on a weekly basis.
