Hitched or ditched

Fortunately, a hot handyman installed my digital TV converter box just in time for the premiere of the CW's new reality series, "Hitched or Ditched."

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a new guilty pleasure.

Here's how the show works: Each week focuses on a couple who's at the stage where one partner is thinking, "What are we doing?" The producers surprise them by fully funding their dream wedding. With one catch: The wedding has to happen in one week.

Essentially the show should be called "Marry me...or else," but that probably sounded a little too cruel.

Monday's episode focused on a couple who had been dating for four years. When they got to the altar, the girl said "I do" and the guy said "I don't." Done. Broken up.

Ignore the discomfort that comes with being dumped on national TV and you might actually love this show.

Yes, it's cheesy reality television, but as the LA Times keenly observes here, it accurately reflects an unspoken question that clouds many partnerships:

Where is this relationship going?
