I Want My Amish TV

UPN may be backing out of their Rumspringa "Amish Real World" style reality tv show. Though they reportedly have been casting for it, there has been no confirmation that UPN will actually follow-through and film or air it. Maybe we can subsitute Amish Robot TV.

DIY TV - Duct Tape

I didn't know this existed until I was flipping through the channels:

DIY's "I Did It With Duct Tape" - advice on things you can do with duct tape -- not sure if they cover the duct tape prom dress or not! They did cover fixing a tent, a canoe, your boots, a fishing pole, making a plug waterproof, smoothing a rough hose handle, and how to conveniently carry pieces of duct tape around with you. I'm just not that enamored with duct tape - but find the billions of uses amusing.

My favorite fact from the show:
Duct tape was originally called "duck" tape. During World War II, the soldiers needed a tough, waterproof tape they could fix their equipment with and help keep their ammo boxes dry. Duct tape was invented in 1942 and called "duck" tape because water rolled off the tape just like a duck's back.
No longer can you correct everyone to say 'duct.'

With the family out of town this week and no baseball games due to all-star break I've been playing around on the laptop and flipping around the tv stations in the evening and found out EVERY SHOW is a so called "reality tv" show. I don't know about you, but I have yet to see a single show that has anything to do with my reality.
