The reality TV lineup just came out for the winter season and there seems to be a lot more reality shows than usual. I don't know if these were all planned to be broadcast now, or if some of the start dates were moved up because of the writers' strike.. but either way, I can't believe that some of these shows were even created in the first place! For example, there's a show called, 'My Dad is Better Than Your Dad"... seriously. I can't even imagine what that's going to be about. Here are a few others that I thought were a bit odd...

Baby Borrowers (NBC)
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew (VH1)
The Apprentice (NBC.. celebrity apprentices this time around) --- I guess the celebrities have to earn a paycheck somehow since their regulars are on hold right now
Snoop Dog's Fatherhood (E!)
Paranormal State (A&E)
Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants (CW)
Nimrod Nation (Sundance)

Now from the dancing/singing category...
Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann (ABC)
Clash of the Choirs (NBC)
American Idol (FOX)
Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew (FOX)
Can You Duet (CMT)

and from the trying to find a mate category...
Beauty and the Geek 5 (CW)
The Bachelor 12 (ABC)
Farmer Wants a Wire (CW)
Transamerican Love Story (Logo)

These are just a few of the many reality programs airing this winter. The old favorites will also be returning like Hell's Kitchen and Survivor. So despite the writer's strike, they'll still be plenty of shows to watch... whether they're good or not!
