Reality Shows.
I posted this complaint at dA, but I thought I'd share it with MG.

Or the show revolves around a famous celebrity and his family, who try to be outrageous, odd and 'wild', but simply cannot even fake it.

Most reality shows' theme starts OK, but then gets very stupid. For example, I was watching a commercial of a stand-up comedian competition. It was going alright, but no, they have to live under one roof and share rooms and whatnot. Why?! Why is this so-called 'experimentation' and bad acting so necessary. Are the viewers (of course, people must watch this shit for it to be on TV) so bored of their own lives that they must watch some unknown and barely known people bicker, argue, fall in love, fall out of love, dance and fail at acting?

Whatever happened to good ol' family game shows? They used to be corny, but hell, at least they were fun. At least you LEARNED something. Though some hosts were horrible, it was still better then these 'reality' shows. **** reality, the reason I watch TV is to escape reality somewhat. And I wouldn't be complaining if these shows were actually real and unscripted.

Sorry for the long complaint, but I had to get this out. Its annoying.

Re: Reality Shows.
Only reality show I really like is Who Wants to Be a Superhero? because it's just hilarious and it has Stan Lee in it.

Re: Reality Shows.
I love reality shows..ie:
The Girls Next Door
Wives of the OC
Sunset Tan
Real World
that Kardashian show (forget the name)
I used to like The Osbornes
the new Rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky and a Baldwin, Bridgette Nielson, et. al
America's next Top Model
I used to the love The Simple Life as well

I HATE SURVIVOR, BIG BROTHER...too played out

But then again, I work hard and I catch these late night in re-runs and luckily for me, I am easlily amused. I know this should scare me...............

Meh, I've always hated reality shows. Even Stan Lee's looked dumber than hell.

Then again, I also vehemently despise the likes of Hannah Montanna, High School Musical, and anything teeny-bopy/trendy
