If only more people read books instead of cable, the world would be a much better place.

Well, you can't exactly read cable.

That is true, but you know what I mean. Reading a book vs. Watching TV.

No i need to laugh at delusional people who think they've got talent while the auditions are taking place. I think America's Got talent and american idol should stay for that reason alone.

I would find them more entertaining, if the entire show was poor signers and lame talent being eliminated. They should bring back the Gong show, but that was a game show not reality TV.

The dialog in reality TV is scripted as fuck.

Just look into their eyes and you could clearly see that they're reading from a teleprompter.

That is true. Sounds like you are not a fan of Reality TV. Is there one show you dislike the most?

Yes, it is a question about reality TV.

Some users do.

People can enjoy TV if they like.

Eh, it's more like I'm bored with the same old reality game shows and would rather watch something else.

I currently enjoy Highway Through Hell and have enjoyed Fox's Boot Camp, Murder in Small Town X and the oldest seasons of Survivor and Big Brother Canada.

And then there's America's Funniest Home Videos, World's Wildest Police Videos and Forensic Files - If those still count as reality TV.

Is there one show you dislike the most?

Probably Say Yes to the Dress and other dress-up shows.

Murder in Small Town X was a really old show that had one season. Unless they renewed it?

I never found America's Funniest Home Videos funny at all.

It does sound dreadful.

I wish it would go away but it probably won't...

Most of them are scripted and they pretend to be real. It would be nice to live in a world without real housewives or Kim K, the hobbit.

I guess I should have made myself more clear when I said "enjoyed it" in the past tense.

Yes, I did watch the one and only season in 2001 - Missed the ending though.

Maybe you're just sensitive to the idea of people getting hurt?

I've been watching that show since the early '90s when I was a little kid and Bob Saggat was the host.

It does sound dreadful.

Another one is What Not to Wear - It totally makes conformists out of people.

I saw it and loved it. Its too bad they never had another season. I can tell you the ending if you ike.

They show a cat falling of a tv, a baby pissing or sneezing, and a guy getting hit in the crotch every episode. The host is the worst part, with all the stupid jokes.

Ii is funny that men can work and not complain, but women just enjoy complaining if they have to do a little work. Reality TV teaches us about the differences in the genders.

i don't like thinking of it like that, cuz i'm sure there are plenty of women who have the skill set and the mind to do it right. i think that way, then these tv programs repeatedly air examples of me being incorrect, so i stopped watching.

this season on alone, a women just quit because she yelled at some bears in her camp. she quit because she was upset at how quickly she got violent, her words. yelling at a mother and cub bear that are in your camp is not violence. i foresee another woman having trouble with bears, she's not treating them like the dangerous animal they are, instead it's more awwww and cutesy.

That was just a side comment, more of a joke really.

It does make me ill when people disrespect nature. A bear is a wild animal that will kill you, not a giant stuffed toy. You have to treat them with respect and give them space.

these shows will come and go when they run their course. But you want to know the best way to get rid of reality TV forever? When money and all sorts of things like it lose their value permanently. Take away money and reality TV will die faster than a snail that salt poured on it.

Groucho Marx knows what I am talking about. Reading is fundamental.

Reality TV is shit. It's nearly always scripted and rarely entertaining. It's easily produced trash that appeals to the lowest common denominator and usually centers around bullshit like sluts, drinking, fights and spending large sums of cash. The worst part is that they could record shit that's actually real that's far more entertaining. I've never seen anything as crazy on "reality TV" as I've seen in real life. Well I mean, aside from on COPS. That show is usually pretty mundane, but it certainly has its moments at times.

Meh. It's fun to laugh at the stupidity of reality TV

Reality TV is scripted , and the cast is always shown doing stupid things. Another vote that it should go away.

But this is why they wont, and don't. MONEH.

If people stop watching, they lose ratings and will be cancelled. Friends don't let friends watch reality TV.

No. It should be converted to pit fights.
