Does anyone actually think those reality shows are real? Even those few that are not scripted have guidelines to follow. There can't be much real behavior when the caneras are there to remind all involved thaat millions of people might be watching.

I love a reality show they label as NEWS! What do you think of so-called reality TV?

I hate reality shows, they are so stupid. The only ones I really like are the swat team shows and all those.

Unless I'm mistaken, it was the popularity of those shows that lead to all the junky ones. Production costs are minimal and incomes are huge, so the networks can't wait to air them. I can very much do without them!

I can't stand reality shows. Not only are they awful, but the popularity of them is an indicator of the downfall of society. I wish they'd bring back quality programming like Gilligan's Island, Leave It to Beaver, and Gomer Pyle.


myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

The worst of the sitcoms is far better than the best of the unreality shows. They keep getting good ratings, but I just can't imagine why!

Most of those reality shows I don't like or watch but there are a couple that I enjoy. They are Survivors and Biggest Looser. As far as I know these are the only ones that I watch consistently when they are on. I think most of them are kind of lame but these two show some real persistence and dedication and planning on the part of the contestants.


myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

I hadn't thought of Biggest Loser as a reality show, but I guess it is. There is one I watch. I wish I could pay for personal trainers, chefs and 8 hours or so of exercise every day, too. I know they make a deal that they will try this, but I know they're sincerely anxious to lose weight, and they really do try. Nobody's told to slack off or anything to increase the drama.

I admit it I am a reality show junkie but I tend to stay away from the celebrity reality shows. They are so scripted that it is really annoying. Come on tell me that they there is a camera waiting for Gene Simmons to get a phone call that wakes him up in the middle of the night. I usually tend to stick to shows like Amazing Race, Survivor, and Big Brother. I know that the editing makes the show but at least I can watch them without yelling at the tv.


myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

People who have been on the shows you mention have admitted when interviewed that, if there's not a word-by-word script, they're given guidelines to follow. That's not terribly real, is it?

myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

Maybe they think we're all really stupid. But I want to know how they get such high ratings that they can remain on the air!

hi cobra,

i do not watch reality shows .. it is as though they are overdoing everything .. it is not the same as day to day life at all ...

Now days even some games show are overdoing it like "are you smarter than a fifth grader" ... the participants are really over acting

It is better to watch some sit coms

cheers


myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

You're so right, my friend. These stinking things need to be replaced by something creative and interesting. Why do the ratings remain high enough for them to stay on the air?

i agree with you . some so called real programme are fake indead.
i once heard people say a mate-matching live show, a friend of my friend was invited to join to find a girlfriend though he's already married and a father of a baby. gee! the reason is the director can't find that many people.

I've watched some of them and actually I can't stand them for the most part. I don't know who thought them up but most of the ones I've seen are totally stupid. I'd rather watch a nice sitcom then them things.

Who's keeping the ratings so high? I can't find anyone who likes them, who's older than 12 or so!thumbdown


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (6769)   ranked 489 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

Perhaps that's it...they are geared towards kids. If so then they should label them as kids shows although I don't think I'd let my kids watch some of them...they'd give them too many outrageous ideas. I remember one in which a woman used a guys toothbrush to clean the toilet...she was mad at him. Another where they ate gross things like beetles, or had to lay in a box with snakes all over them...I can just see a kid trying some of this and ending up in the ER. No thanks, if I ever have kids they'll get raised on stuff like Tom and Jerry.

I personally like watching some of them just for entertainment value. I dont really care how real they are. I mean obviously how people react to things are real because you can't know if someone will get angry or not by what others are doing.


myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

I'm really trying to see your point, but I think I'm too prejudiced against these shows to appreciate anything in them. I'd much rather appreciate the creativity of a well-scripted show with fine actors.

I agree with you, I do not believe they are real at all and actually do not like them at all, who wants to watch tv for reality shows? Reality I go outside in the streets, LOL!


myLot reputation of 91/100. cobrateacher (1722)   ranked 13 out of 1,228 in tv  3 months ago

Great point! Don't we often refer to TV as an escape from reality? I don't watch soaps, either, because I don't want other people's problems added to own.
