Blue Sparks

I had the pleasure ( or displeasure if I may) of watching “Chasing Mummies” this evening. I have always been a fan of documentaries, historical ones in particular, but this reality series comes off as more than a little ridiculous. The fellows in the show are more than a bit over the top, and we add to this the antics of Dr Hawass. The result is a show which is almost unbearable to sit through.

I have never been a fan of reality TV and this just seems to be another attempt to garner ratings. The drama in the show seems so artificial I want to claw my own eyes out. The crabiness of Hawass added just that much
More hate for the show.

What I would enjoy is more archaeology and less fluff. It seems after a wee bit of searching many others agree. Sadly thus type of TV seems to be more and more common. Does anyone else long for the times when channels like TLC, Discovery, and History actually showed worthwhile content?
