Kourtney and Kim Take New York

Entertainment Weekly reported:

“Most successful reality shows gradually evolve into scripted soap operas. Kourtney and Kim Take New York, however, is going in a slightly different direction: It’s becoming a serialized thriller. Don’t believe me? Bust this: The episode actually began with a flashforward, just like in Lost and Dollhouse and that one show about flashforwarding where everyone on earth flashed forward and then spent the whole season talking about their flashforwards. (I think it was called The Event.)”  Source: EW

I’m not sure if there’s anyone left on this planet that still believes Reality TV is real, but there was a certain comfort in knowing that these shows were still trying to convince people they were just documenting real life. I’m not sure there can be a lower point in TV history than the statement:

“Reality TV isn’t even trying anymore.”
The saddest part is that I already get the feeling that the scripted ending to “Kourtney and Kim” will be much more satisfying than the series final to LOST.
