tv right now...

I like that there are two shows on television right now that are in essence, exactly the same show, but with somewhat different names.
There is The Singing Bee, a name which just, just sucks and Don't Forget the Lyrics, which is, if not imaginative, at least straightforward.
Both shows seem to be trying to get a lot of mileage out of the same... uh, joke, I'd guess you'd call it.
I'll give you an example.
Contestant is singing. "The Devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal he was in a bind, 'cause I don't know the rest of the words to this song...". And they keep singing the last part in the tune of the song. Heh. That's funny maybe, MAYBE, once.

Here is a list of new shows coming out next season.

Domicile

Champions

One and a Half Men and Another Man

Nowhere to Be Found

Are You Brighter Than a Student Four Years Out of High School?

Agreement Or No

The Altos

You get the point.

Personally I hate game shows and reality TV. They were novelties the first 50 times a new show was introduced.

"They were novelties the first 50 times a new show was introduced."

I don't understand this statement.

Please clarify, but don't be wordy.
