TLC: True Life Catastophe.

Oh, TLC channel. I have been watching you for years. Shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" and "What Not to Wear" inspired me not to wear garbage bags as clothing. You truly are an inspiration.

Over the years, you have become an even more inspirational television channel. Now, we have the groundbreaking shows like "Breaking Amish" and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo".

You are teaching us so many new life lessons in such series. Here's what I've learned so far.

1. The family that plays "Guess that Breath" together, stays together.

2. The Amish are more judgmental than Gretchen Weiners.

3. The key to beauty pageants is to act as ridiculous as possible with a country girl weave.

4. The Sequel to "Breaking Amish" will, clearly, be "Amish Gone Wild".

5. And finally, if you're life is completely ridiculous, crazy, and you have some sort of accent...TLC will be calling you for a new series.

The most important factor in these series is the "Train Wreck Factor". Every show must have an element that makes it so bad people cannot take their eyes off of it. For example, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" has Honey Boo Boo...and June...and Sugar Bear...and Pumpkin...the whole family, basically. Breaking Amish has the basic turn tos. One turns into a troubled model, one is an eminem wannabe, and so on.

I truly do love this channel. I'm a sucker for the "Train Wreck Factor". Keep it coming TLC.
