Amish Mafia

[T_Yamamoto]

I am waiting for the new big hit Mormon Monnshiners......

:biggrin: featuring Mitt Romney?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

lol, what the fuck is discovery doing?

I thought Discovery had reached rock bottom when they went from science to redecks building motorcycles. Then they proved that they could sink even lower when they became almost around the clock crab fishing. And just to prove that it was possible they lowered the bar yet again with auctions and pawn shops. And even that wasn't the worst that could happen. I'm tempted to say that Amish Mafia was impossible to beat in terms of sheer idiocy, but I now trust Discovery enough to know that they can do it. I don't know what exactly, but I'm sure it will happen. Maybe they'll switch from figurative shit to literal shit and create a new Dirty Jobs spin-off that is 24 hours a day of men cleaning port-o-johns. And TDC's viewership would probably watch it.

Just when you think TV couldn't get any more stupid.

"They go an pull something like this. And TOTALLY redeem themselves" :whiste:

Remember they are providing what American viewers are asking for. There is a big Demand for this kind of stuff so they will cash in. No one is interested in science or discovery type stuff. :biggrin:

If a whole genre where to jump the shark, Amish Mafia may be the one to do it for reality TV.

It will be as real as any other Amish reality show.

Apparently less so. The show even opens from what I understand volunteering the information that some scenes are 'reenacted'. It's basically total trash-TV and fiction. But that's what the people want, they want trash.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why people are so enamored with all these reality television shows. That goes too for shows like American Idol. Singers with that talent level really are a dime a dozen, unless I live in a weird part of the world were about 1 or 2 out of every 100 people can sing just as well. I just don't get what makes the show so special.

People are pigs and pigs eat slop, it's in their nature. All of the talent shows are unwatchable, particularly the singing ones, of which there must be 50 now, all the same.

What's up with all these shows focused on the Amish? Are they the new hot thing on TV?

Big things now are, in order:
1) Alaska anything at all
2) Amish
3) Gold prospecting

There are at least three shows about gold prospecting, no idea how many about Amish, and must be fucking dozens now about Alaska. I'll admit to regularly watching Gold Rush and Jungle Gold. I love them. The one about gold under alaska ice I ended up getting very bored with.

America, I am disappoint.

 

[BillGates]

Also, I am disappoint in TV network writers. Seriously, when one show comes up, everyone has to copy it with their own version for their network... Pawn shops, pickers, auctions, survivalists, Alaska, gold mining, storage lockers, etc etc etc. FAIL FAIL FAIL

TV is a sad sordid affair with itself. But we watch it otherwise they would not have an audience.

 

[SheHateMe]

Whoa this is going to be awesome!

 

[pontifex]

wait srsly you were mennonite? that's awesome!

i live in ohio so there are ton of amish anywhere. people from the east and west coast sometimes ask me if the amish are real

[pontifex]

:whistle:

haha, these guys are supposedly like an hour and a half away from me

 

[GrumpyMan]

Saw on ABC this morning that the show will basically be "re-enactments" of real events, purported to be possibly, maybe could of, almost happened that way, stuff. Which means it's made up crap for TV. Why would they have "writers" on the show if it weren't bs?

 

[Theb]

someone everyone at Discovery is doing way too much coke.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Ugh.

I've had my TV on while I was ranting in another thread.

Fuck you, Discovery Channel. Fuck you.

 

[DrPizza]

I live in a highly Amish populated community. I know a lot of Amish people. I watched most of one episode of that show. Complete & utter bullshit. A complete fabrication.

 

[phucheneh]

Good lord, this show is on Discovery every time I flip past it.

Well, this, or 'Moonshiners,' their other 100% fabricated terrible-ass show.

Shit, at least stuff like American Chopper was somewhat true 'reality.' I mean, I can understand people not liking it, or other automotive/bike-themed reality shows (when that was the fad), but at least it wasn't complete bullshit fabrication.

LOL! My brother's post made me think of the ol' http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy/

A cookie for you if you remember this as your first shock site. Before Rickroll, before 2girls1cup, before tub girl and goatse, we had this.
