If I ruled the world...

....there would be an immediate and permanent ban on "relationship" "reality" TV shows.   Australian night time television is being absolutely overrun by this woeful category of "entertainment" at the moment, which I strongly suspect is primarily watched by women (and the occasional boyfriend or young husband trying to feign interest.) 

And while I'm at it:  the producers of Gogglebox would be jailed, and anyone who had agreed to be part of the show deported.

You know it makes sense...

SBS has been screening a good satire on relationship reality shows: Unreal. Still some episodes on SBS On Demand

Hey now, Gogglebox is fun.

"Cringeworthy" is more the description I'd run with.

I'm not sure what to do about viewers who enjoy it - I guess as long as I can force the end of its production, I can let them live un-dealt with, shall we say? [I aim to be a benevolent dictator, within limits.]
