The female stars of the E! Channel's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" all go out to get guns in this coming Sunday's episode, after repeated break-ins at their popular high class clothing store. Other nearby stores have also been robbed, so the girls decide to get self-defense training. However, mother Chris decides that they need to take it to another level, and takes them all to get trained on using firearms.
After experimenting with a number of guns, Kim Kardashian decides that she likes the AR-15 the best! :D :D
So don't miss this Sunday's episode at 10pm on E!, to see the Kardashian girls all packing heat.

Who are the Kardashians and why would I want to spend precious hours of my life watching them on tv?

No I don't . . . and I intend to keep it that way.

My wife watches it, I do not. "Reality shows" are for the weak.
-
Yanno, for a minute, from the title, I thought you was talking about "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"
-
I believe that the first reality show was one called "survivor" where.. surviving had nothing to do with anything.. The genre went downhill from there.
they are shows for brain dead marks.

Allen Funt's Candid Camera, 1948. Survivor just sparked the most recent trend.

Their father was one of the members of OJ Simpson's "Dream Team" of Lawyers. Or are you too young to remember that infamous case? Kardashian called Simpson a close and dear friend that he admired and respected.
However, Kardashian suddenly got cancer of the throat not long after helping to get OJ off, and died a horrible death after two months of agony. Simpson's other famous defense lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, also got cancer in his brain a few years after Kardashian, and he died a terrible death as well, going mad near the end. Besides getting OJ off, Cochran had also represented Michael Jackson in his first child molestation case back in 1993. He manged to get the parents of the boy to accept a huge secret cash payoff, and agree to not talk any further with the police.
It is odd how the two key lawyers responsible for defending OJ Simpson from those murder charges died such awful deaths from cancer.
Kardashian's former wife Kris had already divorced him before that, however, and married famous Olympic Athlete Bruce Jenner. She had 3 daughters from Kardashian, and two more daughters with Jenner. So there are a total of 5 Drama Queens running around their house, providing plenty of material for reality TV to cover.
Only her daughter Kim has had a sex tape released. Like Paris Hilton, she was not able to block it, but did succeed in getting some of the profits assigned to her. One was made of her daughter Kourtney also, but it never got released to the market, as she was not yet 18 when it was made.
It is really quite a family. Bruce Jenner seems to come across as a pretty normal guy, though. I feel a little sorry for him being the only male living in the house. Kris Jenner also had a son from Kardashian. But he does not live at home, and is thus not featured in the series very much.

Don't you realize that it is the 2nd highest rated show that the E! Network has??? It is second only to Playboy's "The Girls Next Door". Don't tell me that you don't watch that show too??
I only have Basic cable, so my channel selection is unfortunately rather limited.
It is fascinating, though, to see how some rich people live.

Unfortunately, the E! Network always blurs that sort of stuff out. They usually have to do it several times on every episode of "The Girls Next Door".

I'm afraid that the Kardashian's picking up firearms is not going to help 2nd amendment supporters much. Those girls are dumber than a bag of hammers -
Armed stupid people just scare the general public.
Of course, they are nice to look at though :)

So you can find nothing better to do than watch someone elses life?

never heard of the girls next door program either and am proud to be able to say that.
don't really care who watches it.. or american idol for that matter.

If this is a *reality show* then odds are my wife watches it.

I think that way every time I see a new gun thread by ltardglock.

My reality shows are things like History ch Dogfights.Everything else it just cranial fodder to make the masses dumb down. :aok

reality shows are for the weak? i like deadliest catch, man vs wild, and dirty jobs all reality shows. i guess i'm weak :rock
-
mega.. heres a hint for you.. as soon as it is a reality show.. it aint real anymore. think about it.. if it was that tough.. the cameramen couldn't be there.

Deadliest Catch falls more in the Docu/drama area more than anything.
There is a little something for anyone who likes action, adventure, the sea and some pretty awesome scenery in general.
A tad bit of difference than seeing how stupid Jenner`s relatives can get for the camera.
BTW...new season of Deadliest Catch starts tonight.

I'm curious to see what you think of survivor man? The show and he says that he is the only person there, and that he films it all himself. That is reality, there are no cameramen except him. So they say.
-
I think that way every time I see a new gun thread by ltardglock.
I am over 50, and have still yet to shoot anyone.
Besides, Jesus would be upset with me.

mensa.. never heard of it but I don't care. Films it all himself eh? that seems a little difficult. Not only is he a survivor but he is his own cameraman. I bet that there is a whole crew of people not far off. I bet he couldn't starve to death or get lost for good. He might have an accident but if he lives for a few hours he will live. help is probly really within shouting distance.
Must be some crap footage too.. with him being his own cameraman. in any case.. it is a manufactured scenario.. he is not lost or surviving.. he put himself in a situation that he can get help out of at any time.

Dangit, every time I see this thread title, I imagine that it's about Sean Connery watching Star Trek. I think I'm broken.

He actually does a pretty good job of filming himself. He has 60 lbs of camera gear he has to haul around wherever he goes and sometimes has to make two trips across rugged terrain to be able to keep filming.
He does have a crew that can pull him out but they are nowhere near within shouting distance and they could not get to him quickly in an emergency. Usually the show isn’t that exciting and he basically just starves for a week but one episode that made my hair stand on end is when he was actively stalked by a jaguar in the Amazon jungle. He tried to scare it away but it wouldn’t scare. He then made his way to a native village in the middle of the night, because his crew would likely never find him in the jungle, and was stalked the entire way. When he got there everyone made for their little grass huts and they could hear the jaguar pacing around the village growling.
Most of the reality shows are crap, but I was actually surprised at how authentic Survivorman is.

I have the same thoughts, ChickenHawk. Most of the episodes certainly aren't hair raising, just, like you said, him starving for a week and trying to maintain energy. But that is enough to interest me, the crazy scenarios in Man vs Wild throw me off, and it doesn't help that he is in obvious places of safety (see the lava tunnels on youtube). I like survivorman's realistic depiction of what you would go through and how to handle yourself. It, of course, has to make money. But I think they are managing to do that with "real" alone, instead of hyped up fake things.
If you understand what I mean.

Never heard of the show or those people. I disabled E channel so it is not in my channel lineup as it looked like a trash mag type channel.

Agree completely. I was watching with my wife the other day and we both wondered if he ever actually caught anything substantial to eat? I've seen him try to fish in tidal pools and hunt for grouse or build a deadfall, but he never seems to catch anything... other than those scorpions.
-
how the hell do you starve to death in a week? They got to know exactly where the guy is I bet. If he stays still.. injured.. for more than a day.. someone will come. if the gps says no movement.
It is not like the catch thing (which I also don't give a rats about) because it is a manufactured situation with a safe and predictable outcome. he is in no more danger than any other wilderness hiker and certainly less than any mountain climber or commercial fisherman.

The last episode of Survivorman I saw he was in Alaska and he ended up eating the local grasses and weeds until he happened upon the carcass of a fish that looked like it'd been dead for two weeks. Then he feasted. After that he was examining piles of fresh bear poop- I figured he was looking for desert so I changed the channel.

He snared a rabbit while surviving a simulated plane crash in Canada (I think it was Canada anyways...). There was another one... shipwrecked on an island. By the 3rd day, he was having an island bbq and pretty happy... he was debating coming back to that spot for a personal vacation. I've also seen him doing some improvised spear fishing on other episodes. Good stuff.
and Lazs... there's shows for both of those. Everest: To the Limit and of course Deadliest Catch.

yeah but.. the question remains.. why would you watch it?

Normal people flirting with death tends to be much more enthralling than a bunch of drama potatos competing for a cash prize.
edit: I dunno how the term for a permiscious person that accepts money for sex turns into potatos... but whatever.

i like man vs wild more then survivorman. bear is more entertaining then wes. it's all about entertainment for me. I don't plan on visiting the amazon or alaska anytime soon so i don't have to worry about getting stuck there. However watching bear jump down waterfalls and shimmey up rock cliffs is fun to watch. will he fall or will he make it? watch and see!!!!&!%!%&!%&!&!&
it's all about entertainment lasz. guns entertain you deadliest catch entertains us. :rock

Then what about all of the dozens of hunting programs on the various outdoor and sports channels??
Does it make a bit of difference to the Deer or Elk that gets shot if they were on TV??
.

lazs, He does not necessarily starve to death, but it is uncomfortable not eating for a week. More so in the fact that he moves around alot , never staying in the same place more than a day or two it seems. Also a lack of water contributes to his difficulties. He has to get it all himself, while staying alive in some very harsh places. It's interesting.
-
I have not eaten for a week before.. I don't need to see anyone else do it.. I have been extremely uncomfortable and been severly injured in my life.. I don't need to watch it.
I don't watch hunting shows either. or fishing or golf.. pretty much.. I don't watch any TV except to rent movies and maybe the military channel or disney with the grand daughter or cooking shows with the girlfriend.. well.. I don't really watch but.. they are on when I walk by.
I just can think of at least 100 things better to do with my time.
But of all the shows on TV.. the reality shows baffle me the most as to why people watch. The situations don't seem like any reality I have ever seen. Barring, possibly, the catch thing which I have not seen but.. who cares? I hate the frigging ocean.
