OH MY GOD now nascar is getting into “reality telivision” what is this world comming to?
What the f*ck is going on here? Who comes up with this crap? Shatner is 78 years old! I thought I’d see Capt. Kirk in a wheelchair before I’d see him behind the wheel of a stock car! After he wrecks and they scrape him off the wall with a spatula, he can revive his Emergency 911 tv show. Then you throw in those other has- been athletes and celebrities and you have a recipe for disaster. What? No Screech? Where’s Erik Estrada? Make a reality show people can relate to. Make it about a guy that got laid off of his job of 15 years. He has to decide if his family eats, has health insurance or makes the mortgage payment that month. Then he finds out his car is out for repossession. He’s thinking about giving up the car anyway because he can’t afford to fill the 20 gallon tank with $4.00 a gallon gasoline. Then he finds out his teen daughter is pregnant and his wife has a lump in her breast. That’s reality!! Screw this show and the nitwits making money producing it.
I am afraid our sport is rapidly becoming the next Three Ring Circus.
I agree with George, How about a little REALITY for our nightly
entertainment. Come on ABC what the heck are you guys thinking?
They must think that just because they have NASCAR in the title
that all the fans will watch, count this fan OUT….
