Re: No More Reality TV!

Well, personally I enjoy a lot of the "reality" shows myself. I really don't care that much for the sitcoms and the only drama series I watch is CSI which is kinda reality based. To me the real stuff is just more interesting. My favorite channels are Animal Planet and TLC but do enjoy a good science fiction too and movies.

Re: No More Reality TV!

I personally enjoy some of these reality shows. Some of them are really stupid too though.

There are too many reality shows, but there are a few that I enjoy. I agree with Angelwing that the real stuff is more interesting.!

Re: No More Reality TV!

What I personally don't like are things like Chaotic, Being Bobby Brown, Newlyweds, The Ashlee Simpson Show...shows that are nothing but making the celebrities richer. I like things like Big Brother & American Idol.

Re: No More Reality TV!

I actually enjoy a few reality shows also. But I'm also a TV junkie. Thank god for Frivo. I fully blame law school for turning me into a tv junkie. I never watched the tv until then.

Re: No More Reality TV!

My husbands favorite show is the tv guide channel. He gets hynotized by watching the scrolling...........lol.I agree way too much reality. I do enjoy all the csi's though the original is still my favorite and I have just started watching ncis and trace...........I guess it could be teaching us to be criminals though I really think not.

Re: No More Reality TV!

I'm w/ you on this one Jeff. I too, am sick of the reality TV shows. I prefer channels like, Discovery, A&E, Animal Planet, HGTV, etc. I would rather watch a show & learn something than watch that reality crap. I do, however, like the movie channels also.

Here's to it and here's to it again...if you get to it and don't do it...may you never get to it again!

Re: No More Reality TV!

Holy Cow!!! I had no idea there were that many reality shows on television now. WOW! That's taking it to the extreme. I usually just watch movies that I rent through Blockbuster.com, and I love the old Turner Classic channel. Give me the old movies anyday. I know the graphics and special effects are better now...but I still love the old classics.
