Reality TV. Love it? Hate it? Somwhere in between? Well here's the place to tell us.

I'm going with the third option. I like basicly American Idol and Fear Factor. Thats about it. And even those I'm not head over heels for. But I have many friends who are just totaly in love with these shows.

Regards,
JP

ar... I hate reality tv... well, ok, I hate the concept. I'll watch fear factor or the real world if there's nothing else to watch/ do. But seriously, it's pretty disgusting, the ones that they're coming out with now especially. Wife Swap? Who want to Marry My Dad? Seriously... I'd like to think that the major creative minds in the media can be a little more creative than that. It was ok when only Survivor was out, but I think it's going way to far. And... a lot of them are basically just disgusting, putting real people at real people's throats just for our entertainment? bluh. its stupid

Reality TV is simply a waste of TV space. You could put a program called 'How to paint your bedroom' on and it would be 10 times more interesting than watching a bunch of real people do things.

Blech. Dont even mention it. It's sick, stupid, boring and generally crappy. Just take it all off and air something good instead. Not that there really is any good TV...But there sure is better stuff than Reality TV.

I said that "I like one or two, etc."

Some are okay, like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is pretty funny and a good show. But some are just over the top.

Reality T.V. was necessry to the t.v. people a few years back when there was an actor strike going on... It just so happens to have caught on in a big way. It will pass. I don't mind it so much.... then again I really don't watch much of it. It all started with MTV's the Real World. I remeber when it first started. Back then, it was a pretty good series. Now, the kids go on just to be seen. Oh well. Now, I enjoy the Amazing Race. Amish in the City was pretty cool too.

I watch some reality tv but most of the time I can take it or leave it. I watch I'm Famous And Frightened (does anyone know who won that Monday?) and I used to watch BB but BB4 turned me off a little.

Gee. I only have one thing to say about it: """"""""""reality"""""""" tv.
You understand? 90% of it is just fake. The only thing 'real' is that there are no professional actors. Thou they probably pay those amateurs anyway

^But that doesn't mean that it's sometimes just plain funny to see people and producers making absolute idiots outta emselves

It's not like I would die without Trek. In fact, they don't air Trek here anymore, so yeah, there isn't even anything decent anymore.

I totally agree actually. Everything on tv is crap/mostly crap. The only thing that I just have to watch is Grynets show Hehehe!
She's a little communist... dessed in pink. What more can one ask for?

(and they do air star trek here )

Sin City was fun... but the others all suck. There's this one on channel five at the mo called The Farm, and they have all these celebs no one's ever heard of on a farm.
Wanna do reality tv? Make politicians go to warzones and fight.

I'm sick of reality tv. I think the first one that I ever saw was the first Surviver. I watched almost all of the episodes. I think it's getting out of hand. There are too many unwholesome shows that premote unwholesome things. If I was a dictator, there would be no reality tv shows at all (of course, Trump could just slip me a blank check and everything would be okay for the apprentice ).

No way! She's the best! I mean yestersay she did the batter in a cement mixer! That sais it all!
And Elin Ek who plays her is very sensible and has great reasonable oppinions... and she's great at spreading the political massage... she does it throw humor... (just like Eddie Izzard ) I mean no one has the strength to listen to pure politics... but if one makes it fun then YAY for politics (eddie actually said that yesterday on a interview. He said that to make politics intresting you can: create wars... or do it by humor)
