Farmer Wants A Wife

This reality dating show has similarities to "The Bachelor" and other titles in the genre, but there are four bachelors---all farmers. And the five women chosen by each farmer get to live on the farm for the weeks that the series runs. These women are more citified (to use a rural term) but think they are amenable to the farm life.

Of course farm life is not easy, so the women get to try their hands at mucking stalls, feeding cattle, and any of the myriad of tasks that farmers do routinely. Some of the reactions are comical, but the women really try.

There is also time for some group dating and one-on-one dating, when they can explore their compatibilities and ask more personal questions. Or two-step.

Unlike some other shows, everyone gets along remarkably well. No cat fights or backstabbing. That will make the show too tame for some viewers. But I find it mildly entertaining.
