What the fuck is up with all these fake shows nowadays
 
Operation repo
South beach tow
etc
And then fucking history channel starts that crap as well with pawn stars and chasing mummies and some other shows.

It's fake. It's all fucking fake!

Is this the new trend on tv?

PR_Glen 12-08-2011 02:25 PM

the history channel has become an embarrassment... should be stripped of the name, half the shit on there is mindless crap these days.

CIVMatt 12-08-2011 02:28 PM

The acting is SO fucking bad... but there's no choice nobody is going to sign the usage rights for that

I agree. Half the shows is about doomsdays and mysteries bullshit. Apparently real shows about real things doesn't get them enough audience.

Never seen south Beach tow but I bet its interesting.. And you can bet your ass about 90% of what you see on that one is real.. Ask anyone who has had a car towed in SB.

those are the ones that bother me the most... how many times does nostrodamus have to be wrong before people start figuring out that he didn't predict shit?

mayans? they didn't even predict getting annexed by the spanish... no less our future...


There is so much more interesting stuff out there, stuff that can actually inspire people to do something with themselves rather than hiding under their beds for the boogie man to get them.

ANCIENT ALIENS!!!!

In a word, Yes!

And it's the reason i hardly ever watch anything on tv now apart from sports. Infact my cable bill is sky high just now, so i think i'll be making a phone call soon and get rid of half the shit we are currently paying for. Even the movie channels are full of shit...

Laughed at the cheesy Pawn Stars name when it first came out, figured they would only get a few viewers thinking they said "porn stars up next". But that show is actually pretty cool and interesting imo. I watch it on Netflix.

It can be interesting but most of the show is set up. In some cases they ask people outside if they want to sell an item given to them.

Dirty F 12-08-2011 03:26 PM

And yes naming it pawn stars is just sad.

MaDalton 12-08-2011 03:32 PM

it got horrible on german tv as well - "scripted reality" with "amateur" actors - it makes me want to scream at my TV. thats why i nowadays watch mostly documentaries or political talkshows

SykkBoy 12-08-2011 03:40 PM

It's funny, some of my snootier friends used to brag about only watching the History Channel....now there is crap like this on the channel and they don't brag so much...

bronco67 12-08-2011 03:56 PM

What's worse is people that don't have enough sense to know when "reality" situations are faked.

What is interesting is that TruTV basically takes all the History channel and A&E shows like Pawn Stars and Storage Wars and makes cheesy clearly fake knock-offs of them. I was watching their storage one the other night while sipping some whiskey and was laughing my ass off. Have bought many abandoned storage units over the years I can spot a fake from a mile away. Over two episodes they opened up and auctioned off about 8 or 9 units. all of them were clean, well organized and not one piece of garbage to be seen. It was so fake it was funny.

Yeah I fucking HATE all that shit, watched another one last night 'heavy haulers' not so much fake in what is happening, but fake in the whole setup conversations.

Reality shows are now horribly scripted heaps of shit!

That operation repo makes me want to smash the television.

it even says so in the intro. Its based on real situations performed by actors. ;)

crockett 12-09-2011 04:17 AM

While I understand Pawn Stars is essentially a set up, it's still done in an interesting way.

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.

Evil Chris 12-09-2011 08:49 AM

Most of all, I hate those "Hosewives of.... " show. Yes, I left out the "u" on purpose.

I wanna bitchslap them all!

Kenny B! 12-09-2011 09:48 AM

I was flipping through the channels and saw American Hoggers and Lady Hogger, wtf... who the hell wants to watch someone chase a pig for an hour?

It's the women who draw in viewers. Every single reality show has one woman. Do a google search on them. There's forums dedicated to these women. It's sick.

mikesouth 12-09-2011 10:24 AM

Thank them for this trend.....Oh and dont forget to thank the National association of Educators and your public school system.....holding pen for the future felons of America.
