I have to admit that I did watch ABC’s The Bachelor when it first came out. There was a certain innocence about dating shows like The Bachelor that was appealing to both me and my wife. The Bachelor also gave us the opportunity to talk about our own relationship and what we could do to improve upon it.

That was then and this is now:

Dating shows are defined now by the characters (or lack there of) on them. Their back stories and scandals titillate like no others. We watch not to see love blossom but to see scandals erupt.

I now feel a little dirty watching these shows and don’t know what to think.

What do you think?
