My bi-weekly visits to upstate New York have devolved into all-day television watching sessions with my father. Turns out that Vermont Public Television, a broadcast many of us can’t get in Vermont, comes in as good as a cable station at my father’s. So I saw for the first time the Keno Brothers and what may be the tackiest show on earth. The program’s success depends on those two human specialties, ostentatiousness and voyeurism, and features Leigh and Leslie – twins – going to people’s homes to appraise their stuff. If you don’t believe that the vulgar materialism of America is a sort of disease, you should watch this show.
