Keeping Up With The Kardashians : Season One

Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Review by Sean Lynch

As the old saying goes : there is such thing as to much of a good thing.

In many cases, that makes perfect sense. However, I'm not sure if a phrase has been coined yet for too much of a bad thing. Perhaps we are just so used to junk, there is no need for such a phrase.

To be honest, we are in dire need of one, because it is getting to a stage where someone has to really sit down with E! and… well… just slap them in the face.

Better yet, I'll put my hand up to travel to the house of every single moron that supports these "Celebrity Reality" shows by switching on and flat out plough through their faces with some kind of steel bar.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians is a perfect example of the low point we've hit.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

Even after watching a whole swag of episodes on this two disc set… I still could not find a single discernable explanation as to why this family of (well I guess you would call them f**kwits) even have their own show.

What annoys me even more is that it is actually even more common place to go on about how terrible these shows are. So my warnings to avoid this garbage at all costs goes unheard (and if anything, will probably inspire people to buy it, if only to "See how crap it can be") because the need for moronic gals wanting role models and horny guys wanting to see a glimpse of tit far outweighs the need for common sense.

The brainchild of American Idol host Ryan Seacrest (don't tell me this show wasn't a direct result of Seacrest having sex with someone), Keeping Up With The Kardashians looks, sounds, plays out and is just as over rehearsed and set up as The Osbournes, The Simple Life… well, you see what I'm getting at.

As I write this, an episode is screening in front of me in which Kim Kardashian (whose only real skill seems to be having the ability not to trip over her own giant norgs) has, in the space of 20 minutes and 32 seconds, gone from refusing to pose for Playboy, to refusing to go totally naked for Playboy, to letting her slowly decaying mother pose for Playboy, to going nude in Playboy.

This is the type of humans we are dealing with here.

If there is one we can take from this, it's the knowledge that future generations now have a documented example of how not to raise children, on how to promote the most despicable human actions, and how to avoid getting married to a flea-brained-self-involved and downright deluded wife.

Now, if I was still fourteen, and if it was still 1998 and my folks were still using a Dial-Up Connection, then Keeping Up With The Kardashians supplies just the right amount of barely-there-boobage that the school yard soft porn black market used to be run on.

However, in 2008 and a broadband connection, this is barely worth the effort.

If those horny lads of today are so moronic that they haven't discovered RedTube yet… well you deserve to have to sit through twenty minutes of mind numbing idiocy for a split second of the oft coveted and disappointing "side boob".
 
Also, just a quick note to anyone contemplating starting up their own family… a family isn't a family if parents are invoicing you for their 10% cut.

The lowest point I have ever seen TV go in all my years of reviewing - by far.

DVD EXTRAS

A few featurettes and extra episodes have been tacked on here (including "Parental Advice With Kris & Bruce" and "Junk In The Trunk") that just encourages these idiots more and makes them believe what they are doing to their children and the world isn't totally abhorrent.

Utterly anger inducing.

Conclusion: Movie 10% Extras: 10%
