Not my lifestyle...

Browsing through Foxtel at my parents' house, it became apparent that there is a hell of a lot more shite tv out there than I thought there was.
Here's my pick of the best (or worst) names for 'lifestyle' 'reality' programs:

1. Style by Jury
Oh yes, it is as bad as the name suggests. A jury picks apart everything that is wrong with the subject, then takes them out and teaches them all about having good style... Followed by a different jury judging them after they have had the 'style makeover.'

2. Till Debt Do Us Part
A 'reality' snapshot of various couples whose relationships are being torn apart by overwhelming debt and how to fix it.

3. Your Money or Your Wife
See number 2.

And yes, these are all actual shows.

I was thinking the same thing. Style By Jury sounds... potentially awesome. But you know this is coming from someone who stayed up to watch Age of Love last night. That was awesome too.

Would you believe it, I actually have to quote Carrie Bradshaw: "I stopped watching TV when people started putting leeches down their pants".

My parents are away for the weekend so if anyone wants to call me to pop by for a special screening of Style by Jury you're more than welcome...

So basically, the idea is to come up with a pun and then create a tv show to suit?

Apparently so. They probably get paid shitloads to come up with them too...
