Reality TV: Had Enough or Can You Stand Some More?

by The Niche Man Posted: 13 years ago 5 replies

As Reality TV continues to take over the airwaves, the competition is growing more ruthless.

Every show is now in a game of one ups-manship. For example, who can tape the biggest cat fight, who can out sleaze the other and who can do the best jobs at back stabbing and conniving.

And surprise, the person who does the best job at being bad is in line for their own show. Where will it end or should it?

Personal opinion, I don't think it will end, because of cheap production cost and high ad revenue. But I do think maybe it should change direction from the sleaze factor that's starting to creep (pardon the pun) in shows now.

What say you?

You said it.. its cheaper to throw a bunch of idiots together and have them fight and bitch at each other for an hour than it is to put together a quality series.

Personally, I never liked them. I feel I lose brain cells every time I watch an episode

Birds of a feather, me thinks.

If you have the I.Q. of a three pound dirt clod and are addicted to those types of shows why wouldn't you wnt to see more and more of the same stuff until it finally reaches the lowest common denominator and a show like "Inhale My Farts" wins the Emmy for Most Typical American Under Thirty Portrail Show".

If you're going to dumb down society you can't just rely on PBS to do all of it. Those shows have their place in the grand scheme of things.

Reality my a$$.

  But World's Dumbest dumbs us down so well! It's funny on so many levels:
  
  The videos themselves
  
  The sound affects added to the videos
  
  The "D" list "celebrity" comments
  
  The fact that half the "celebrities" were two-bit criminals themselves
