Once, while watching “River Monsters” on Animal Planet, I knew the dude on the show wasn’t going to die because they aired a promo during it for the next week's show. But don’t get them wrong – he’s gonna die.I’ll never get back the only ten minutes I ever spent watching reality TV, but the healing is starting to begin. Lately, I’ve heard from more and more people in the business that networks, who once loved the low-production budgets of these reality pieces of shit, are kicking themselves nowadays because the shows have no back end. You can’t air them as reruns, or sell them on DVDs.
So the Tigerfish won’t finish off River Monster guy, but the bottom line will. Ironic check and mate, TV.
