Reality TV Shows.....

[SCarter984]

I think reality shows are the worst in programming.    What is real about them?  Do you, everyday, try to survive in a jungle?  Do you, everyday, attempt to out cook everyone on your street?  Do you, everyday, stand around and act stupid like the Kardashians (sp)?  Or even, do you do it once a week?  I think America has lost its creativity.  There is nothing real in any of those scenarios.  I think there are a bunch of monkeys sitting around CBS, NBC, and ABC, and FOX, playing with every ones head and we allow it to happen.  Reality is, people don't have jobs, people are losing their homes, gas is too high, and the Federal Reserve has taken the public on a very bad roller coaster ride.  They left the cars in upside down mode, and are standing on the ground catching all our money.  All the while, we are hoping to get off that ride and hurry home to watch the next reality escapade.  Sorry bout that, I just simply had to read this.  We used to come up with interesting things to watch and fill our minds with something more than the trash they are putting out these days.  And we wonder why our kids are so aggressive and don't think twice when they see someone shot to death.     Okay, I'm done now.  Have a great day guys!

I have to disagree SCARTER984...  True, there are more serious things going on in the world, but who wants to hear about it, much less watch it on tv all the time? It's good to sometimes just lay back & laugh a bit. No, the things on those shows aren't what happens in real life(all the time), but it's called reality tv because the shows aren't scripted. I don't know what reality shows you've seen, but the shows that I watch wouldn't cause a child to blow anyone's brain out  It's just tv, but to each their own....

I like reality gameshows best, although they start to copy each other after awhile.  Watching someone's boring life via a reality show doesn't really do it for me.

The only reality show I sometimes watch is deadliest catch. Other than that I don't watch any reality TV.

I used to watch REality TV ALL the time. Now days the only one I HAVE to watch is Biggest Loser though I do watch Wipeout and Minute to Win it and the Bachelor every once in a while. Reality used to be my thing, now I just don't have much time to watch all the shows I used to.

I think there are way too many reality shows, but it's just a trend in tv. Just like there were a boatload of game shows not too long ago. Where are they now?

Personally, I watch the last few weeks of The Batchelor, and American Idol. AI is probably the most fake of all the shows, so I follow the voting guidelines given at the Vote For the Worst website so that it's at least entertaining for part of the season. LOL

[SCarter984]

I watched American Idol the first couple of years then got bored and stopped watching until the last few shows  This year there are some awesome singers.  I don't do the vote thingy, but I have enjoyed the voices this year.  Not too sure about the reality of it all, but at least it entertains.

I am not a fan of reality shows but I did enjoy the bits from paradise hotel, bad girls club and America next top model.

I love reality shows

[swkstudent]

I absolutely love the new reality tv show...Wedding Wars! Who's with me?

That's the one on vh1 right? I've only seen 1 show but it seems kind of entertaining. As of now the only reality shows I consistently watch is bad girls club and sometimes Aubrey O'day.

Reality T.V. shows ruined television for me. All the channels I use to watch (Discovery, History Channel, MTV, G4 and many others) started having reality tv shows to the point they nearly took over and all normal broadcasting became special. I wouldn't mind so much if there was only one channel dedicated to this type of programming. But it seems like every channel out there has to have 1 reality tv show. Even AMC of all places had a reality show.

I saw yesterday that there's going to be a "Pigeon Forge" reality show. Why??

[Normandie]

I love ANTM.  I really want to model in life and this show is very inspirational especially to me.  LMAO I didnt even know that it was a  reality show till my great aunt.
