«IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE»

The tag line for The A-List: New York is "These Housewives have balls!", so perhaps you were expecting a topical and trenchant discussion of gay marriage. If so, look elsewhere.Gay reality show granddad Queer Eye For The Straight Guy had a purpose, or at least a premise. Gay guys are into all that fashion and design crap, so let's send them out to do makeovers on straight guys! But at this point in TV history, reality shows are a genre unto themselves, and even a career path. (Boyle-ing Point, anyone?) All a producer needs to do is follow some people around with cameras and watch the sparks fly! Right?
Not really. I wasn't expecting The A-List to be Breaking Bad, but I thought it would at least be vaguely amusing. The show doesn't even achieve "so bad it's good" status. It just sucks. And you can't even say it sucks without feeling politically incorrect. You know, because they're gay. Which they tell you once every four seconds. In case you happen to forget.
