WookieeMania12 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 All I'm going to say about reality television is that it seriously sucks. We should euthanize anyone who lacks the capability to contribute to society in any way.Please don't elect this man for president in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zierro Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 What can suck any worse than watching adults act like 8-year-old's? In after 'reality TV sucks'. You mean "in between". :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippymister Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Some of the first reality shows like survivor were pretty good, but now they're all the same and they all basically suck. What really annoys me is VH1, and how they create new reality shows off of their old ones. Flavor of Love (New York was runner-up) -> I love New York. I love New York (Those 2 brothers were runner-ups) -> Real Chance or w/e. Rock Of Love (Daisy was runner up) -> I love Daisy From all of them -> I love Money. They really need to get some original ideas... :ohnoes:My Guide on Obby Mauling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyKing Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 They really need to get some original ideas... Why make up new ideas when they can already make money from old ones? :-k Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodenFruit Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I love Reality TV! Expecially Big Brother, the arguments, the "racist" comments and the tantrums. Pure entertainment. Though it's going downhill... ______________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 As said above, older reality tv was good, the best reality takes skill more than just being popular. Survivor was awesome, i like the apprentice aswell, but even in that the people can be strangely stupid. But when it comes to things like big brother, and the fake celebs that it makes, it is rediculusly stupid. Want to be my friend?

Dizzle229 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I kinda like World's Strictest Parents and Nanny 9/11, but thats about it, if those can even be considered reality shows. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 They like reality TV shows because it's so darn cheap to produce. Compare this with a Sitcom. No need to hire specific writers, sets, props, etc. Most importantly, no need to hire the talent to be on the show. That's why there are so many of these shows, because it is so cost effective for it to be produced. Plus for some reason, people love the drama from some of these shows, that they can't help but soak it in. Personally, I'm past that point of drama and would rather watch older syndicated shows or something sports. So in the producer eyes, it's booming. In the eye of the consumer, it is a bust, but you'd be surprised how many people still tune in to see some of these shows. :roll: A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

Giordano Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The only problem I got with reality television, is that it's turning the History/Discovery/etc channels into a host and his experiences. Axemen and Ice Road Truckers on the friggen History channel!? What the [bleep]. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Plugpoint Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I like some stuff, like The Apprentice. But stuff that's too trashy where people get famous for doing literally sitting around doing [cabbage] all, like Big Brother, I absolutely resent. I just watch the opening shows so I know what people are on about, but I hate them. Maxed 15/06/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da_Latios Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Reality TV is not reality TV at all. It's Tell-the-'contestants'-exactly-what's-going-to-happen-and-make-them-act-surprised TV.

Star. Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I like some Reality Television :oops: Pimp My Ride, How clean is my house?, most house makeover shows... They give me so many ideas with what to do with my future home/car etc. The gardening ones are pretty cool too. I do watch some ghost stuff too haha, it's just interesting especially when they insert history in the story. Shattered was interesting too when it was on about 5 years ago. What I love most is Japanese shows :lol: More specifically: Japanese game shows. They are sooo much better than British/American ones. I particularly like the ones with the Silent Library (where you have to be silent in a library whilst doing funny tasks) and Ramen Soup! (About a group of friends and the random stuff they do).

AndyPandy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I hate Big Brother, and all the crap that comes with that. I just don't find watching a load of people together interesting. If I want to see what happens when 16 people get together, I'll meet up with friends. The only reality TV I like really is the Apprentice. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

Oh guuurl, you just did not say that. But you're wrong. I've been exposed to oriental cultures ever since I was but a wee child. Two of my cousins were pretty dedicated to the martial arts and such and indulged us in many movies and facts about China/Japan/neighbouring countries. I will admit that anime has furthured my interest in Japan though. And also, I have differing tastes in anime, I don't just like it all :P ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
