The Vineyard

Only watched the first episode, and don't think I can take anymore, so this will have to do. It was one of the worst TV programs I have ever seen. Why? It is supposed to be a "docusoap" so you expect some basis of reality to be injected. There is none. These people/characters are so wooden, fake and stereotypical. Your intelligence will shout "you are insulting me" as you watch.

The cast of characters are very poor actors and that is where the frustration begins. If this is the format they were going to try and sell, at least cast actors a little more experienced than first term high school drama class. The writing? I bet you could pick anyone in your current household although currently employed in other professions who could not have written a better script. Suffice it to say it could not be worse.

In trying to find a reason to give it more than a 1 star, so maybe the scenery of Martha's Vineyard? So I gave it 2 stars for that alone. (I am not being harsh because I have never given anything on IMDb 2 stars before.) I see why this production was labeled a "docusoap" instead of a reality show, because they would be quickly exposed as a fraud.

I just chalk this show up to what we have brought on ourselves with the low-bar acceptance of shows like this masquarading as reality. It just keeps getting worse and worse.
