Oddities (2010)
Scripting is the only real "Oddity"
What I find most objectionable and hard to grasp is why this series feels it's necessary to pass off heavy scripting as reality. Do they think their audience is made up of complete morons? They must, because they're constantly trying to pull the wool over the eyes of reality TV viewers. It's really bad enough that their business model is more of a modus operandi wherein they lie straight faced to customers about the monetary value of items they purchase. But it's WORSE that those 'customers'are, in reality, only shills and actors, friends of the cast and so on. They don't even own the antiques that they purport to be selling. It's absurd. And.totally unnecessary, as well. I'll stick with my Antiques Roadshow, now in their billionth season on PBS. They don't pee up my leg and tell me it's raining!
