How is sequestration (THE budget cuts) affecting your favorite TV programs?1 - THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS#RHOBH is cutting the cast by one member. The vote is in. Adios Adrienne Maloof.And take your Maloove Hooves with you! Don't let the limo door hit you on the way out.2 - HOMELANDOnly enough chill meds for poor Carrie to take a magic pill every other day. Prescriptions are expensive even when you squeeze them from your sister the shrink.Worried. Who knows what will happen to the show's budget when Obamacare kicks in?3 - HONEY BOO BOOThere will be mandatory recycling of all glitter used on Boo Boo's competition costumes and garish eye shadow.Let's cut one of the "Boo Boos" while we're at it, preferably the second "Boo."4 - THE BACHELORReplace long stemmed red roses with day old daisies. We'll see who really loves who.5 - DANCE MOMSFlab alert! Less money for spandex tights, Spanx underwear, and herbal diuretics.6 - AMERICAN IDOLSmaller cups of "Coca-Cola" on the judge's table. Less caffeine, less sugar, less advertising bucks.7 - TWO AND A HALF MENThis is so easy. Let's cut one of the men. Hey - how about the big jerk?8 - 60 MINUTESMake it a half hour show. America's collective attention span is so much shorter than when "60" started... in 1859? And change that damn clock to a digital one!Like short & sweet?
