Late night television reaches an all time low

Out of all the crap that could be turned into a show, a major network decides to dull our minds with people playing poker in an attempt to entertain us. The shows they keep throwing at us get worse and worse with every passing season. Reality TV turned the nation into dimwits so I guess they figured they should create a reality TV show where the content itself was incredibly dull and dim.

I can see putting Vegas pool or possibly even competitive bowling on late night but Poker?? Come on man, this is an attempt to generate not only more gamblers but seduce more states into legalizing gambling based on the CLAIMED success of these types of shows. No matter what the ratings claim, I just won't buy it. The only loyal viewer demography will be made up of gambling addicts and the unemployed.

I give Poker After Dark, as well as Celebrity Poker, two thumbs down and two middle fingers way up!
