When will reality shows DIE!!!

probably never. they are cockroackes. that cant help but watch

 

the vast majority of "reality tv" shows are stupid.

 

dude, the difference is that most game shows were extremely similar with only the slightest twists on them to differentiate between totally different shows- let alone episodes. with reality T.V they may not be a great difference between the shows but the people act differently everytime , so people ahve soemthing new to talk about to their friends every week. and everyone continues it by watching it so they are in the know when talk(eventually) turns to this fodder for the mind
i really hope that im wrong. i REALLY hope that im wrong

By the way has anyone noticed that Big Brother (the show) is rather like the soma in Brave New World (the book) sorta puts you in a trance...

 

or when the masses of retards stop watching them. whichever comes first. it's the american dream to be on tv. must be a symptom of the whole inbred thing.

 

Hahaha. 'Dancing with the Stars' is a hit here in the Netherlands. Actually, we're already a step BEYOND that: dancing on ICE (with iceskates and all) with national celebrities teamed up with professionals. The reality show in its entirety is a Dutch invention, and so are all those dreadful offshoots. But most of the smarter people here don't like it either. I think it's very low entertainment and I'd love to be rid of it, but not as much as I'd love to be rid of those despicable ringtone/game tv commercials.

 

It would be, not exactly "nice", but refreshing, to have a reality show that holds a smidgeon of actual "reality," where the scenarios are even a little closer to real life, and where the casts don't talk like they are rushing through a script reading and don't use the exact same phrases in each series ("I didn't come here to make friends, I came here to win!", etc.). With every reality show that I skip past while channel surfing, I get more and more convinced that broadcasting companies believe that they're playing an elaborate hoax on us all. "Hee hee, they actually think these shows are 'real'... well guess what, they're NOT! Hee hee hee! And they haven't caught on yet !" It's as if they think we're all roaring idiots. Or perhaps I am just paranoid. This paragraph is too long, methinks.

 

haha i find reality shows quite amusing actually

 

Hopefully they will never die.

 

no time soon seeing as TV writers have gone on strike

 

"And yet . . ." as Jennifer Government would say . . . *chuckles* the writer's strike is also messing up the reality and "unscripted" shows.

Things that make you go, hmm . . .

 

hmmm...

 

*chuckles*

 

the more i think about it the more similarities i see between modern materialistic reality and reality shows. i mean people have seemed to raise their standard of how dramatic to be on a daily basis, and act like reality actors everyday. acting in reality if you will.

 

Only if they are stupid enough to think that sort of behavior is acceptable and have no moral compass.

 

yeah, people, especially typical high schoolers, are more predictable everyday. the opposite of the psychedelic era.
