I strongly agree with Barbara ...

The phoney time limits that have been the "standard" device for all 
cable TV reality shows has ruined most of them for me ...  We only 
have a week to strip down this whole car and rebuild it!  We only 
have a month to build this hot rod from the ground up!  We only have 
three days to sort out the entire Topper site ... Please, what a 
pretentious, and seriously bogus load of crap ...

The real danger is that although "we" know how bad these 
presentations are -- and what is being either glossed over or even 
misrepresented -- the public certainly does not!

Very, very slippery slope ... for the sake of "info-tainment"

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with Marxism, so long as you stop 
at "A Day At The Races." If you keep on with "At the Circus," etc., 
suddenly, Marxism doesn't seem all that interesting and you start to 
look for something a bit more competent, like Chaplinism or 
Stoogeism"  - Anonymous
