What is your opinion on Reality Shows?
-
There are to much of them. Soon all the channel with only have reality shows and nothing else
-
There is very little reality to them. They are for the sake of entertainment. What little reality is present is enhanced by the show's personnel. The participants are all at least somewhat "coached". Many or most shows follow a story outline and/or are at least somewhat scripted for the sake of telling a story. Real life is not that interesting or filled with so much fast moving drama and twists and turns. There are fewer new reality shows this fall season. I think that they are on a downward trend.

I think it's like a train wreck, it's so horrible to watch but you can't seem to stop watching. :-[
-
Some are pretty good. There's one on Discovery called "The Colony" which is supposed to be an experiment in a post-apocalyptic world. As for shows like "I love New York", no thanks. I like to watch shows with a little more depth.
-
They're totally getting out of control. Most of them aren't even real. They just use actors and call it a reality show. And people just love to watch for some reason.

i watch the colony,, that show is so good,, its so funny because they are starting to actually beleive it, and foret that it is a show..
-
I hate all of the so called reality shows. They are all so fake and blah.
-
Yes, there are way to many of them. I could do with out them all tbh.
-
I hate them but i do watch one and i love it and that's deadliest catch.
-
As a whole I can't stand them. I wish they would go away. There is no such thing as reality TV anyway it's all scripted.
-
i always said that i'd never be a reality tv junkie.
always thought reality shows were just plain retarded.
i've found myself getting more and more addicted over the last couple of years though.. i'll watch just about any reality crap the television can give me O_o i feed on the drama.
-
I'm a fan of some of them, but I agree that they've been taken way overboard.
-
As a whole, I really don't watch them. Some of the people who want to grab their 15 minutes just really disgust me. John & Kate? Wow, what a mess. Octomommy? Does she really need a comment? I can't say I've never watched them - I had fun with I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! (although I now know why people really make fun of Speidi). And I used to watch the Real Housewives of NYC, but that was more because I missed NYC than anything else!

LOL... my sentiments exactly! Can't stand the Kardashians but there I am, watching them "take Miami" on E! :P
-
Now there is my pet peeve right there. I could go on for hours, I want them to bring back wholesome family comedies, it seems the only ones they do put out our too vulgar to watch, especially with your children, they learn everything in a 30 minute episode. I would rather live reality then watch someone elses. Just one persons opinion that probably don't matter much, since the shows are everywhere all over tv.
-
I must say I watch my share of reality shows.
My Antonio
The Real Housewives of Atlanta
18 Kids and Counting
Eddie Griffin Going for Broke
Top Chef
Chopped
Just to name a few.

they arent real every one plays apart and no one no mater what they say are them selfs no one the world would be a lot better with out realty shows
-
This is a tough one because there's so many of them! I love shows like Hells Kitchen and American Idol, but other shows that are supposed to be reality but really aren't are crappy. I just found out that my brother also loves Hells Kitchen-we were going to a nice restaurant with him and his wife and he and i were joking about going in yelling "It's RAAWWW, you Stupid COW!!" We laughed the whole night :) How can you not laugh at some of those shows??
-
I honestly love reality shows that show growth.
It's amazing to see how people grow. Show's like biggest loser can change people's lives, only for the better. Becoming a skinner, healthier person can only help you, and inspire others to do the same.
There are also shows that project runway and top chef, that exhibit how people grow in terms of their skill, and passion. Besides, when I watch top chef, I want to go into the kitchen, and try to make something amazing, or try and look up a new recipie.
-
And I used to watch the Real Housewives of NYC, but that was more because I missed NYC than anything else!
the NYC housewives are the only ones i've been able to stomach so far.. i especially love jill ;p
-
I love reality television. It's my guilty pleasure.
-
I can't say the reality shows interest me. I think thy're phony and uninteresting. :)
-
There are too many... too many part 2's and three's to the same person. and then the next reality show is by someone who was on the previous reality show. i am tired of seeing the same people and different shows. get real people to have a chance of money or love or whatever...not the same ol people!!!!

That Eddie Grffin show is pretty interesting , its about time he had one , he has so much kids already lol , House Wives of Atlanta i think probaly may have 2 or 4 seasons left and i think by then its going to sour or be staged yes its gaining popularity but how far can it go , none the less its entertaining :thumbsup:

I think they can be compared to WWE or WWF (whatever it's called this week) wrestling....mostly fake. I have to admit that I am addicted to Survivor and The Biggest Loser though. I agree that it is getting out of control as well. Pretty soon there will be reality shows with women competiong to see who can go into labor the soonest...or has TLC already done that one.
-
When they first started getting big, I enjoyed some of them, the only one I watch is Top Chef.
Now I hate them and wish they would just die off. They need to make a specific channel and put everyone of them on it and take them off the other stations.
-
The only ones I like are the ones on VH1
-
Some are good some bad
-
I never really liked reality shows due to their lack of reality.

What is your opinion on Reality Shows?
With an exception of a few (mainly the Maury Show although even that isn't anything new), the majority of them are dumb. We need good television. I fricking despise MTV for its reality shows. MTV never cared for music. MTV should be RTV (Reality Television). Television sucks nowadays. Nickelodeon sucks, Cartoon Network sucks, the mainstream music reflects itself on a negative image (cars, hoes, money, big houses, swag, gunshots, haters, fake people/posers, "gangsta", I'm better than you, my girlfriend broke up, my boy doesn't treat me right, drink all day, play all night, let's get it poppin', I'm in Miami trickk! Seriously, WTF?! Talk about something different. That's ALL they talk about. Parties, drinking, relationships, arrogance and every other negative things. Reality shows are a disgrace to society. In fact, some of these "reality" shows are scripted. Wake the **** up people and fight for you right to stop most of the corruption!

I am excited about The Amazing Race...
-

-

-
i used to watch survivor and the amazing race, but it gets old
