Remember the Palin family? They’re mysterious and spooky, and hunting animals with high-powered rifles out of helicopters. And at one point, most of them had some kind of reality show in the works, but now Bristol’s has been cancelled.
We aren’t going to see Bristol Palin trying to make her way in the big city of Los Angeles amidst a tortured sea of liberals who all wish her ill. We’re never going to be able to see how she balances being a mom and a temporary icon of abstinence with mundane activities, like trying to go to school or partying it up with the gay people that she secretly resents because they want to get married.
Nobody wanted to see Bristol Palin’s struggles as a completely unrelatable contemporary woman, which is terrible, because think of what fodder ‘The Soup’ would have for the next few years to keep going.
There’s no better idea about removing the sheen of politics involved with weirdly prominent political families than giving them their own reality shows. Could you imagine what kind of a swarth the Bush twins would’ve cut back in the day?
Argue all you want, that’s good television. You and everyone you know would watch it.
