Undercover Boss

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder about the credability of this new show, Undercover Boss.

"OK, gather round everybody. There is a new guy starting today. Just treat him as you would any new hire, help him out as much as you can. Oh, kinda overlook and don't mind the camera guy, or that sound guy, or that other production guy, or the director, just act like they are not here. Wonder too if it would be too much trouble for you all to go back to your lockers and put on these new work clothes we have for you. Oh, incidentally, that camera crew breaks for lunch at one, and the caterers will set up their food in building 12."

I always wondered too about the guy surviving on the deserted island with no water or food, just a camera crew.

If you look at "reality shows" realistically, you see them in a different way.

If they can make watching guys sitting around playing poker, interesting, they can do anything.

I always liked, too, when they advertised a new show as the "hit of the upcoming season," when it hadn't even been on the air yet. But it was still a hit.

But then, I am still trying to notice a drastic difference in our new HiDef picture, over the old one.
