Chaosmaker Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 There just plain stupid and overdone. Ever since Survivor people have all these stupid ideas and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I have never liked them - since Big Brother started TV has just gone downhill. Hopefully people will get it through their heads soon that the shows are a waste of time and money, and they can get back to making quality entertainment (Simpsons).

Switch Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Stupid and pointless says it all, really. Reality shows are boring and repetitive IMO, and yet tons of people watch them. I don't want to see a bunch of celebs swearing eachother for 12 hours, thanks :tongue2: And ever since these things started, everything is trying to copy them, just because they think it will make their show more popular. Kind of pathetic, really. A semi-interesting idea originally, but after 1000 clones, it's become very, very lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 What's real about 'reality TV'? Would the participants act like they do if there wasn't a camera watching their every move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 From what I've seen, when competion is a part of shows, they suck, but when it's teamwork centered, they *can* be pretty good. For instance, there's one called Mythbusters (on TLC?) that probably can be counted as a reality show, entertaining and informative. P.S. Reality, or unscripted drama? After all, in real life, the obnoxious guy doesn't get 'voted off', they just get shunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 since Big Brother started TV has just gone downhill<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, loveme4whoIam, you sound an OLD man with a comment like that! "I remember in my young days..." Hobbles four feet on zimmer frame and falls over. I dislike the so-called reality, ha ha, shows but I know plenty of sane, intelligent people who watch them. They see them in the same way as I might watch a whodunit, because after a day's work you sometimes need mindless entertainment. Other people can't stand defective series. I'm sure we all have our own escape routes (music, alcohol, drugs, on-line computer games - whatever rocks your boat). The fact that I can't see what others find remotely interesting in reality tv (or soaps for that matter) doesn't mean they don't have a purpose. What I do agree with you on is that there seems to be less and less television of the OTHER type - designed to make you think. But perhaps this is because what there is is now spread across so many channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraithguard01 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Surviror was cool, until the gay guy won, then all the copies came out. Then it just got plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
