More Craptacular Summer Reality TV Shows

You know that it's going to be a long, stinky summer on the boob tube when it's June and you already pine for the next season of American Idol. Yes, I'd rather watch more hours of Paula slurring her words and pausing at awkward parts of a sentence, more hours of cheesy Ford commercials and more hours of Randy pointing and saying, "Yo, check this out, dawg!" I'd rather Fox bring back American Idol 7.5 for the summer than to watch all the poo that has filled its weekly four-hour spot.
Just when you thought there was no more crap to be aired on TV, the bigwigs over at ABC, NBC and CBS have dug deep into their septic tanks and found more bad reality TV shows to make you watch this summer!
Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal
(Premieres June 15 on A&E)
To ease you into the black hole that is reality television, we start with a show that might not end up being too, too bad, but might make you crap your pants nevertheless. Well, if you get freaked out by ghosts... and children... and children who talk to ghosts. You get my point.
Psychic Kids will follow three kids, aged 10-17, with psychic or mediumistic ability as they try to understand and manage the "gift they have been given." Ooooh... ahhhhh! Spooky! A&E says that these kids don't "feel normal" because of the "burden of their powers," so they'll get to meet other freaks like themselves at a special three-day "psychic camp," where they'll get guidance and support from "professional" psychics.
I don't know about this one, but if the kids are as annoying as Haley Joel "I'm An Old Man Stuck in a 12-Year-Old's Body" Osment in The Sixth Sense, a la "I see dead people," then this show's going to be as crappy and spooky as your grandma's Depends.
