TLC: It's all midgets and cake these days

What's the deal?

"Little people, big world"

"Little chocolatiers"

"Our Little Life"

"Cake Boss"

"Ultimate Cake-Off"

"Cupcake Sisters"


Apparently there's some executive at TLC who is wacking off dreaming of the next big reality show that's an Italian Midget family with a high-order multiple set of kids, baking wedding cakes for dog and cat weddings. Sweet!!!!!!

minirant over

I took TLC off of my favorites list a couple of years ago. It seems they changed the programming to appeal to trailer trash stay at home moms.

Throw in a dash of "dog the bounty Hunter" and "cops" and you will have a top rated TV show

That's as bad as the Discovery / History channels. Modern Lumber Jacks on the history channel, Ice road truckers, and crab fishing on the Discovery channel. Who really gives a crap about any of this?

I think it is safe to say that with so much programming, much of what gets broadcast is pretty awful. And also there are better things to do than watch tv, especially if you're down to midget bakers and truck drivers.

Why would you watch cake shows when there's Pawn Stars & American Pickers?

Willy Wonka would be a good fit, what with Oompa Loompas and sweets.
