Tried to watch a couple of those when it first started and couldn't make it ten minutes. It's just hard to believe people actually watch that crap.
Agreed, and I generally don't watch much of that stuff. I think the closest thing is some of the video shows, those are generally harmless and safe for the family.Here's my question, does anyone really believe that reality TV is truly reality? I would like to think that most people know that it's simply a genre of television entertainment.
Sounds like this thread might not be of interest to you.Haven't had a TV since 2001.
OP is complaining about optional, free offerings.
It's on the internetSounds like this thread might not be of interest to you.
All equally unlikely.When I was young, naive, and full of enthusiasm and good will, I used to hope for things like world peace and an end to starvation and homelessness.
Now I simply wish for an end to reality television.

Do people really watch this crap? Tonight's fare...
Wipeout - An extreme obstacle course is faced by 24 contestants vying for a $50,000 prize.
I Survived a Japanese Game Show - Americans compete in a zany Japanese game show.
America's Got Talent - yeah, then why is David Hasselhoff on this show
Hell's Kitchen
After that, I turned off the TV Guide channel.
Please make it stop.
I do not waste my time with this type programs.
I don't mind them if they aren't trying to sabotage each other and other drama is low. Those Japanese shows can be hilarious.Do people really watch this crap? Tonight's fare...

Me too. I also don't like the ratio. There are hardly any comedies I like anymore. And anything I do seem to like gets canceled promptlyJust other TV shows and reality TV shows gotten worse.
May be I'm getting old but I find my self looking for older TV shows to watch.
That's one of the things that annoys me about shows anymore. Always some sort of extreme lifestyle person and always someone who had so many bad things happen, it's a miracle they are even alive to be on the show.I was sick of reality TV after the first two episodes of the first Survivor. The one with the gay guy, Dave of Kevin or something, who didn't pay tax on his $1 million.

Yes chopped is great especially Junior. The adults need to take lessons from those kids in sportsmanship and kindness.I'll watch Chopped occasionally, but that's as far as my reality tv goes. I hate the medium. Nice to see cable step up the plate and make scripted television viable again.
