Rob & Big - reality show

I tuned in to this for the first time today, never heard of it before. White guy who goes around with a baseball cap and talks "street", and a big fat black guy, tooling around the country.

Reality shows really dumb down America.

Letr me check Wikipedia to see what this stupid show is about.

Rob & Big is an American reality television series that follows the lives of professional skateboarder/actor/producer Rob Dyrdek and his best friend and bodyguard Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. Over 70 million viewers watched the show's first season, and it was ranked #1 in its time slot for its target demographic among other cable TV shows.^[1]
Produced by Ruben Fleischer, the show premiered on November 4, 2006. After 32 episodes, it ended on April 23, 2008.

Synopsis 
Most episodes of the show follow a central task or event in the daily life of Rob and Big, such as: attempting to break Guinness world records, having their home exorcised, skateboarding, and random things such as buying 12 remote-control helicopters, and Rob's obsession with a net gun. Also, during the show the two of them purchased two animals, a mini horse named "Mini horse" and a bulldog named "Meaty."

Ah, so this show is 4 years old, but they have nothing better to show so they're showing this?

Seems kind of stupid...can we not have shows that show people trying to become astronauts, or geologists, of something of that nature? Why do we always have to glorify the dumb-bells. I mean - professional skate boarders, for goodness sake!
