Or you could watch grass grow

Some critics say the endless stream of hugely popular reality television shows is about as dull as watching paint dry.

They can test the theory with a live, eight-week, round-the-clock Webcast of just that.

Billed as the “ultimate reality TV show,” British pay-television station UKTV Style’s “Watching Paint Dry” promises a wall, some brushes and different types of paint.

The Internet program is being launched today. Many reality shows rely on viewers voting out human contestants. People who watch paint drying on www.uktvstyle.co.uk will be able to vote for their favorite finish, such as gloss, satin or matte, with the least favorite being voted out each week.
