I can't decide if this new CBS reality show is one of the four horsemen of the Hollywood-has-so-run-out-of-ideas-alypse... or the awesomest guilty pleasure ever. It's called Greatest American Dog; the gist is that a bunch of super-talented dogs live in a house together with their show moms and dads and compete for the title of... well, you know.
Although one does wonder about how they measure the greatness of a dog. Sure, back flips and skateboarding skills are impressive, but they're not really indicative of dogness, are they? That's more like Greatest American Dog Impersonating a Human. How about Greatest American Dog Licking His Balls for an Hour?
Greatest American Dog premieres Thursday, July 10 on CBS. Show preview below.
