"Reality" tv shows are around 10X cheaper to produce per episode than normal tv shows.

I got rid of cable tv completely some time last year. Haven't actually watched tv in the last 2 years so I didn't see the point of keeping cable tv in my bundle. At the time my cable company said it was cheaper to have everything bundled. What a load of bullshit. haha

Watch the history 2 channel if you want to avoid the reality type shows.

If the audience wants it, they bring more crap, good thing there are still good shows.

You mean "watch the history channel if you want to watch nothing but WWII marathons"?

I can't stand any of the fake reality shows... I have pretty much just given up on watching tv!

My hubby thinks Ancient Aliens is just funny to watch for the crazy hair guy with the fake tan!

Jarmusch 12-10-2011 09:16 AM

It's like wrestling. Everyone knows it's fake, yet millions still watch it.

Konda 12-10-2011 09:31 AM

Keeping up with the Kardasihans, so obviously scripted, how can people watch that.

And all the MTV 'reality' shows, some people really believe it's not scripted lol

Agree. All those shows are shit, and the History Channel is just embarrassing themselves now with that stupid doomsday shit. I watched one of them last night for about 10 minutes. I heave heard so many assholes use so much pseudo science to try to drive their beliefs across in my life.

As for who to blame? Blame "Cops" that was the very first successful "reality show" and the others followed suite. I think History or Discovery (which ever it airs on) Deadliest Catch was the first run away hit for them.

I can't think of anything prior to it on that network and once it became a hit they started turning both the Discovery Channel & History Channel into Redneck Reality TV.

Real World on mtv is one of the originals too. Much more like most of today's scripted reality shows than COPS.
