December 2, 2004 Diary of An Affair
Here's what the show's official site says:
Imagine hearing true confessions of real women and men who strayed from their partner to pursue perilous and provocative acts with another. Diary of an Affair allows you to live vicariously through the intimate details of an infidel's torrid tale.
Each steamy episode recounts real stories from real people. The excitement, the fear, the passion, the remorse, the pain and the eventual resolve of the rendezvous--all in their own words! Want more? Read the torrid transcripts, or check out our episode guide.
How far will cheaters go? Find out in the explosive reality series Diary of an Affair.
New Episodes: Saturdays at 9 p.m. on the Style Network; also catch it on E!, Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m.
When I first heard about this show I pegged it as a rip-off of Cheaters. A show so distasteful it could not even qualify as a guilty pleasure. But I made that judgement without bothering to watch it. Shame on me. I've been told that this show is not only interesting, but fascinating. That it actually has class. I'll reserve judgement on that for the time being until I've had a chance to see it. But we have made the commitment here at Reality TV Calendar to start covering the show. We'll have recaps and a show page up soon.
Simple Life 3
Those loveable scamps are coming back for more hilarious hijinks. Is "Gag me with a spoon!" still in vogue? I guess my age is showing but that sums up my feelings for Simple Life perfectly. Nicole and Paris completed filming of the third and I hope final edition of this mindless fluff. Once again we will learn "That's hot!" while they intentionally annoy and irritate the people who are generous enough to put them up. The big twist this time is they are traveling on a Bus. Our guess is the insurance for them to drive just got to be too much. Again they will stay with decent people who will get treated as doormats in return for their kindness. Once again they will deliberately sabotage any job they take for the "cool" humor of it. Once again anybody over 18 will cringe while watching it. At least I hope so.
The third season premieres on FOX January 26th.
Humorist Randall The Vandal will be recapping. I can't wait.

December 1, 2004 Gilligan's Island
The show premiered with two episodes last night on TBS. A third new episode will air tonight at 9/8c on TBS. Next week it appears the show will settle into a Tuesday and Wednesday night schedule with one new episode each night.
We'll have recaps by humorist Randall The Vandal for both of last nights episodes up shortly.
Martha Stewart and Mark Burnett are still an item. Even though Stewart is currently languishing in Camp Cupcake, Burnett wants a Reality TV show with the domestic diva.
According to the Hollywood Reporter the show, which may debut next year after Stewart gets sprung, would be a competition based elimination format similar to Survivor. Stewart's company, Living Omnimedia, is also pitching top syndicators in an effort to revive her daily TV show. We are not a domestic diva so we aren't qualified to comment on her daily show. We are 100% Reality TV fanatic so we will comment on the Burnett / Stewart connection. We just don't get it. What is the attraction of Martha Stewart? Why should I want to watch her? This looks like another Restaurant to me. While Burnett's Survivor is giving us the most boring season to date he is working new shows. Draw your own conclusions.
