Here I was, thinking The Real World was the first reality show on television ... but, as it turns out, PBS beat MTV by a decade with An American Family. The show, which followed the lives of the William C. Loud family from California, was especially controversial because it didn't hesitate to show viewers the life of the family's openly gay son.
This clip features a Tarot reading given to series character Pat. Unfortunately, she's in the hands of a gentleman who may be the World's Most Uncertain Tarot Reader. (Now that would make a great Saturday Night Live sketch, eh?)

Oh, yes, soooo tentative. (Wish I had a nickle for every "uh" ... :-D) But, honestly, what got me was how she shuffled (and he let her!). I don't know about other readers but that way of shuffling makes me hurt, I feel the backs of the cards are being broken. Ouch! It took me quite a bit to recover just from that... LOL!
