I am so not-sad that I have mostly stopped watching TV:
What a way to kick off the year: A dating reality show that combines the frenetic shallowness of speed dating with the presentation of industrial grade meat.... The premise du jour: 30 single guys, each guided onstage by the titular belt, have 60 seconds to "charm" one of five single gals waiting to quiz them. If a woman likes what she sees (indicated by a raised paddle reading "interested" or "not interested") the select hunk of beef -- er, aspiring date -- heads to a platform to wait and see if he is replaced or not. After, the survivors go on a date.
Clearly needs more midgets. :-)
