Storage Wars, Cheaters, Hoarders — what's your favorite junk food TV? Why do we watch them, when we do? Do we test ourselves by seeing how others behave? Are reality shows for real?

Duck Dynasty is the highest rated cable TV show ever. No kidding. Ever. The question is why?

Join the conversation by email, on Twitter, or on Facebook. And don't even TRY to tell us you only watch PBS. Don't even try it.

GUEST:

  • Gina Barreca - author/humorist, They Used to Call Me Snow White, but I Drifted
