Adam, please forgive my sarcasm. It was meant, tongue-in-cheek since my five kids all make fun of me for not "getting into" any of the reality shows. I was being flip and should not have used a pseudo-Christian tone to express my reaction to watching a show with that obnoxious guy (Simon something or other) on it. It has nothing to do with thinking myself superior. My taste in humor runs to the slapstick comedy side that is utterly lowbrow. However, for some reason, I have never enjoyed variety shows that involved dancing or singing (or opera either for that matter).

I meant no disrespect to you and obviously misunderstood your purpose for asking the question. Your final option seemed to invite (or at least permit) a flip response which I gave. Mea culpa!

BTW, I only watch Fox News and very little network television (other than Law & Order and House).
