It's funny that my blog started with a teribble show (Jon & Kaye Plus 8), but thank the Lord that America will never stop producing terrible television, if anything America has started making even worse television. VH1's Basketball Wives, the apparent brainchild of former basketball wife Shaunie O'Neal (the former Mrs. Diesel, not Vin, Shaq Diesel), has taken the pole position as the worst show on TV. First, there is only one current basketball wife on the show and she is married to Speedy Claxton. He's far from the most famous husband, ex-husband, boyfriend or baby's daddy from the collection of men that these women have ran through, but kudos to Speedy and Meeka for keeping it together. Second, their popularity is derived from their checkered dating past and America's stupid obsession with reality TV (although BW is more scripted reality TV than actually reality, but when you have that many bitchy minority women in a group, it's hard to tell the difference). All in all, BW is something that I am ashamed that I have watched twice and truly wish that it will be taken off the air. But since it's already in its second season and will be spreading to the West Coast (same formula, only one true wife, the ever-crazy Mrs. Doug Christie), I don't see much of a reprieve.
This is why America sucks...BW is worse than big portion sizes, Rosanne Barr and Carl Lewis singing the National Anthem and the proliferation of juvenile obesity combined for America. And it is all Shaunie O'Neal's fault. But I guess it makes it Kobe Bryant's fault since he had some hand in putting Shaq's alleged infidelities out there, but Kobe can do no wrong by me, so it's Shaunie O'Neal's fault.
