Why Reality Television?

For the past 5 years, every Sunday morning my mom and I would get up and watch all the reality television we had missed that previous week due to her working and me having practices and games daily. We would spend hours watching people make fools of themselves. It was a fantastic way to end the week and spend some time with my mom. Now I am living 8 hours from home so I only get to go back about once a month. My mom and I still watch our favorite shows and facebook about what happened. It is not exactly the same as it use to be, but it is still a way for me and my mom to bond even though I am so far away from home.
