Too Much Towing?

Source: TruTV.com - Operation Repo

I know what you probably lie awake asking yourself at night: How many reality TV shows can actually be about tow trucks and tow truck adventures?  Apparently, you can have at least 4 reality shows that completely revolve around the concept of repossessing or towing vehicles.  Amazing, isn't it?  How?  Why?  Can it really be that interesting?  Furthermore, one channel, TruTV, is the source for all these shows.  Is there really that much of an audience for this?  Obviously they must be getting ratings or these shows could not exist.

The 4 reality TV shows on the air about towing companies are now:

• Operation Repo
• Lizard Lick Towing
• South Beach Tow
• Bear Swamp Recovery

Each show claims to be totally unique.  For instance, it appears each person starring in Bear Swamp Recovery is overweight.  Stop laughing... really, this is how the commercial makes it seem.  I am not sure how America can possibly be ready for 4 tow truck shows, but TruTV thinks we are.  So if you are really into seeing people have their cars repossessed, this is a great time for television programming for you.

Infomercial Info Everywhere!

Recently I've been stumbling upon some totally ridiculous infomercials and infomercial gimmicks.  I can't believe some of the silly strategies used by these companies.  Have you ever noticed items are purposely overpriced when you can buy one and get one free?  As it turns out, the price of the first item is usually about the price both items should actually be if you bought them at a store.  Something tells me customers are not really getting anything for free.  Throw in the shipping and handling, and it is a total rip off.  

I felt the need to share this and wrote a hub about it: What Infomercials Really Mean

After writing this hub, I watched TruTV's World's Smartest Inventions 4 just the other night.  I could not believe they devoted an entire show to the same topic.  Luckily, someone was even kind enough to upload the whole episode to Youtube.  Check it out!

 

TruTV Comes to Comcast On Demand

OK, maybe I am just an idiot.  (No comments need to be posted for that statement, by the way.)  I've never noticed TruTV being available On Demand until last night.  Perhaps I was just missing it all along, but I don't believe it was there until now.
So I am excited.  One of my favorite shows is "World's Dumbest..."  My favorite of the World's Dumbest series is World Dumbest Criminals, but I also enjoy World's Dumbest Drivers, World's Dumbest Performers, and World's Dumbest Daredevils.  I guess I just enjoy watching dumb people.  Even better, I like watching people make fun of them.  So I am really excited about watching this show whenever I want.  Oh, happy days!
