Flavor of Love - Charm School is the Best Show on Television

I am not a huge fan of so-called reality TV. I have never seen a single episode of "Flavor of Love", the ridiculously pathetic show starring ex-rapper Flavor Flav. I had no desire to see or listen to anyone who considered the show viable entertainment. But when I saw that the new spin-off of the show starred comedienne Mo'Nique, I became interested. When I read that the show was called Charm School, I decided to check it out. I have written manuals on etiquette and copy-written protocol. When I saw the first few trailers for the show, I actually wanted to watch it. The concept of the show is to make a group of foul-mouthed tramps into sophisticated young ladies. After watching a few episodes however, I found out that the real goal of the show was to put together a bunch of girls whom they knew would argue and fistfight. Added to that was the constant reminder of each contestants unusually large breasts. Talk about a ratings one-two punch! They pretty much nailed 90% of the viewing demographic already. Needless to say, the most entertaining parts of the show had nothing to do with charm school lessons, which was probably the original intent. But the casting and the plot line was so cunningly deceptive it deserves recognition. I would never have even tuned in to the show if it wasn't called charm school, no matter what the girls looked like (I like looking a girls on TV, sue me). The show can be seen on VH1. Their parent company is Viacom, long known for the unethical tenacity of their program marketing. But that opinion however, is subjective. What seems unethical to me may be seen as fair practice to someone else. It is difficult to give any further description of the show in question without having seen the show from which it was spun. But that show reflected to a lesser extent what this show was made of, a genuine human quality seldom seen on television. Most of the girls on this show rarely cared about their appearance, how the behaved, spoke or were perceived. Lifting that veil of self consciousness gives us an insight to someone true nature, good or bad. The premise of this show did not materialize in its content, but I recommend it nonetheless.
