Can't stand it.

Little did I know that Disney had it's own show that was self-referential, and advertised itself within the show. Maybe it's just painful for me to watch old shows that I have no interest in. It's hard enough for shows nowadays to keep my interest. I don't know if I could stand TV in the 1950s-70s if I grew up then. Props to Disney though, he made a buck or two by advertising his amusement park on TV. So how does this relate to this week in TV? Advertising of course. A drama like "Las Vegas" is similar because we see the strip, the clubs, and the fancy casinos. It's not a show like "Disneyland" but you can obviously see the promotion. To be honest, i've never seen a show like Disneyland before. I found it weird to watch a TV show that is promoting an amusement park by the owner itself. Do you think Girls Gone Wild could be in this category? Promoting drunk girls on spring break? But Disneyland was in the public interest. Something around 40% of households and 26 million viewers tuned into Disneyland. The Reality TV genre fits that mold today, gaining the public interest from shows like American Idol. It's what the public wants, so keep feeding the wolves.
