The Learning Channel is Not Really Teaching Us Anything Except How to Exploit People

Didn't TLC used to be The Learning Channel? I'd like to know when they stopped teaching and when they started exploiting anyone and everyone who is different. Katharine is currently watching "I'm Obsessed with My Pet", which is only slighty better than "Toddlers and Tiaras" and a little less creative than "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant". I absolutely despise this sort of reality television and there's more and more of this on TV all the time. As if John and Kate plus 8 wasn't bad enough...then there was a Table for 12...which turned into 18 Kids and Counting. Little People, Big World gave The Little Couple an idea for a show. And I haven't even mentioned the shows about conjoined twins or giants.

Some of the shows are interesting as one time specials, but then TLC takes it to another level and creates a 22 episode season...then a second. Apparently there are plenty of people in the world for TLC to expose and they're looking for more all the time. You think it would be fun to be on such a show...you can sign up:

I'm should write a letter to TLC and ask them to produce a show for me called, "There's Nothing Special About Me" or "Jeff and Katharine Plus One and a Dog in a Small House". Come on...it could work. What would your TLC program be called?
