I Don't Think That's What Was Meant By "The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living"
I turned on my TV last night, which for some irritating reason defaults to E!, and discovered that Clint Eastwood's wife and daughters have a reality show.

The reality TV shows are cheap to make. But those of us who aren't cheap don't watch them.
I just can't muster the excitement to see the inside of anyone's life that I'm not involved with. I have enough problems watching my own life.

Clint Eastwood has had even children by five wives... Which involves some really complicated fucking.
Amy, read this. And also this.

WHoops, that's SEVEN children by five wives.
Perfectly good joke, shot to Hell. I feel bad.

Never liked reality shows. But I could understand the ones
Where the show about a person and life. Ala truck drivers, loggers, band members. These can be interesting.
The shows where the person and their life IS made and said to be REALITY. From Kardashians, people from New Jersey, and the wives of dead mobsters. Ughh. Have a point.
A reality show that needs to force the reality is horrible. One that shows the reality is better.
As to Clint Eastwood's wife and daughter doing this. Why? How are they interesting.
If I was Clint, I would put a stop to this. As this is going to effect his reputation. I like Clint may not agree with some of his politics but the man is honest and does some good work.
But all that can be ruined with giving us too much info of his life and family. All it will take is some stupid reaction or move by a family member. It will go from ya he was great in Unforgiven. Or I loved his directing in .... Becomes ... fuck Clint his wife is crazy, why does he put up with that. Man his daughter is spoiled, Clint did something wrong.
50 plus years of greatness will be ruined with a couple of seasons of a TV show.
The association of westerns and tough guy Clint and great actor will morph to idiot.
Test yourself now. What comes to mind when you read the word
New Jersey
Ozzie
Gotti
I bet for each word there is a cringe reaction.

It's almost summer. Your TV should default to Whatever Channel Is Showing Baseball.
Have tix for tonight's Nats game, but heavy rain is forecast for this evening. Oh well...

Totally agree with you John. I love Clint. Hate what his family is doing right now. There was a big brouhaha over the daughter destroying a $100,000 Hermes handbag in the name of "art", but my thought was it's her money, she can do what she wants with it. That she's a spoiled, wasteful brat is nunnamybeeswax. Don't care. Sad that Clint allowed this, though.

I guess Clint had a pretty ironclad pre-nup.
Wife's gotta get her millions quick - before Clint kicks the bucket.
When did Walgreen's get a baseball team?

"When did Walgreen's get a baseball team?"
That would be the Washington Nationals, Junior. Currently squandering their NL East lead, since every time they come to bat, you can almost hear them cry "Eeeek! He threw it too fast!"

I thought to myself, "Either she's on her way out, or he's really so old he doesn't care."
He had some lovely women in the past.

Happy birthday Clint!!
