In the early 90's the world was first given the first even reality show, "The Real World" somewhere along the line every tv station thought it would be a good idea to make a show out of nothing, these days reality shows can be about a plumber! almost every tv station has its reality tv, i think even Nick has one, there are shows about milkin cows, washed up movies stars, music stars, stupid sluts chasing some guy who they think is loaded, is it just me or is this enough, this is ruining television. what do you think about reality tv?

I hate Reality TV.

For those that live in the UK, we usually get subjected to "Big Brother" every summer.

Man, it creates "celebrities" out of annoying nobodies who don't deserve it. They turn into presenters mainly - doing an awful job.

Not only that - but WHY THE BLUE F*** IS JADE GOODY STILL ON THE COVER OF MAGAZINES?????

An advert today for a (womens) gossip magazine was going on about how Miss Piggy has lost her boyfriend or whatever. WHO THE F*** CARES? She was on the front cover. How long has it been since she was in Big Brother - is it two years already?

JADE, GO AWAY YOU DIRTY FELTCH!

i hate that sh!t... except for the real world 'cause they have hotties, and fear factor makes celebrities and has-beens do some seriously crazy stunts and eat some seriouly f*cked up sh!t. but other than that...

REALITY TV BITES!!!

I've always hated reality TV. I cant stand it.
I've always thought that the whole point of TV was to escape from reality. If you want to experience reality, then switch thw TV off, and get your lazy @$$ outside!!!!
Watching reality TV makes your own life less real, and its soooo boring. It sucks scrotuums, and I HATE IT !!!!!!!

So glad you started this thread. My question is, how come the networks were so slow in figuring out that reality tv would do well? are they idiots. Don't misundersand me, I'm not a supporter of reality tv. In fact, I really can't stand it. But com'on, those networks had to have realized the success of the Real World and should have done something sooner(...so glad they didn't). I guess the next big one was Survivor. After its success with a couple of seasons, everyone jumped on board.

I trying to learn the ropes of Comedy Central and the Sci-fi channel recently. There are some pretty cool shows on there these days and they are a nice break from the saturation of reality tv.

well it took them 10 years after real world started to start putting a show on every channel, i guess we should have charished those 10 years more. when realtiy tv was rare

Hey feltch is my word!I saw it noone else!

I didn't chose anything on the poll...because some reality shows are good in my eyes.

IE: FearFactor, The Real World, Road Rules............

Whats really making me angry is that the news (FOX) shows the updates. Today there was a 15 minute segment on American Idol during an hour news show. 15 F*CKING MINUTES! People who care about the show, watch the show. We don't need updates on the news for everybody else. If they didn't watch it, they really didn't care, because its not important news.

hello

god can u just talk about what this damn thread is about if u wanna call yourselves dicks n crap like that go make a thread where u just insult yourself

I guarantee you will be banned.

Maybe.

Yer stop spamming.

Anyway Reality TV, everyone hates them but they still watch them.

I like survivor UK version.
BB4 last year that guy playin with himself in the toilet, what an idiot.
BB5 starts next friday. i hate it so much, but i bet i still watch it.

All these from hell TV shows i really do dislike them, and will never watch them ever, ever,ever.

Would you class Return to River Cottage as Reality TV show, because i love it. Has anyone ever had a Lardy cake what they like.

well they stopped, next time the spam is done, it will be reported to the moderator, anyways back to reality tv

i hate reality shows, theres to many of the same show!

yes they get rid of so many great shows to make way for pieces of crap that barley raise above the common reality tv radar.

and it is sad that there is a radar for crappy reality tv

Reality tv is never ending. It's kind of unbelievable actually. Evertime you turn on the tv, there it is. It's like you're trapped. Besides the news reports on what happened on a reality tv show, they're now doing specials that talk about the characters from reality tv and the history behind certain shows. It's sick.

Even some of my favorite networks have joined in. I like Sci-Fi quite a bit and even they've got a reality show on now. I think it just got done. Thankfully Sci-Fi's got some pretty decent stuff coming on this summer that doesn't involve any "reality". Stargate Atlantis and 5 Days to Midnight are, fortunately for the world, not reality....

yes i think youre right, it will never end, unless some sort of miracle would occur and they would be swept from the face of the earth.... boy that would be great

whos still watchin this shit? this whole thread is base on how reality shows suck everybody is agreeing and yet there still on the air coz somebody is still watching them.....i f*ckin hate that reality shit on tv its takin away work from actors who are stuck waiting tables

Oh look. Another news segment about American Idol. ITS NOT NEWS DAMNIT!

HOLY CRAP! Another segment right after the commercial break. WTF? Does everybody elses news stations do this? I'm watching fox news and they just had a 5 min segment, followed by commercials, and another 5 min segment. This is flat out making me angry.

Oh yay, they are closing the news program with a performance by the winner. HURRAY!

well thats what you get for watching the news....i hate the news there so damn biased

They are, but I only get like 5 channels and the TV was on while I was at the computer. The American citizens are all drive-by citizens now days because they follow only what the television and newspapers focus on.

I imagine all the coverage about American Idol will cease after about 2 more weeks. So, if we can survive until then...

I flipped through Fox last night during the "finale" and saw again Fox's summer line-up. What do you guys think about some of the other shows? At least half of the shows were reality tv. I'm still kinda diggin' that Casino show, though. It looks like it might be pretty decent...you guys seen the ads for that?

The celebrity poker won? Or is there another that I'm missing. Doesn't matter. I won't watch either way.

Actually, I don't know. This one is based around two guys who buy a casino and I think the premise of the show is to see whether or not they can make the casino succeed. But it's a reality show and they show people trying to cheat and they kick people out and stuff. It looks ok.

Sounds like something different from what I was thinking.

Maybe. I do watch on the Travel channel the World Poker Championships. That's awesome. THat's not what you're talking about, is it?

Reality TV sucks ass, minus the Real World. When I first saw Survivor commercials, I knew that was going to destroy TV. Then came Big Brother. Uck. Those house makeover shows aren't bad though, that's like.. underprivelaged families getting a new house. That's cool. Other than that, Survivor and etc can go to hell.

I like some reality TV like Manor house, Colonial House and Frontier House, where a group of people are taken back to the proper historic time and make them live like it was that time. They have to work, earn they food, built their homes, built the schools... I really like those three.
http://www.pbs.org/manorhouse/

No. Its on regular TV and I believe it is simply called Celebrity Poker. Right now they are advertising it with Jeff Gordon and some other guys.

Ok, that's actually ringing a bell now. Maybe I have seen something or other about that show. Haven't watched it, though.

Besides reality tv, what else are you seeing that looks decent for the summer?

the nba finals and the olympic basketball team

I bet everybody is excited that Big Brother starts up again tonight!!!!

there are very few original or even good reality shows at all, only good one still is just road rules, real world sucks now, that one w/ the house building makeover, it actually serves a good purpose unlike pieces of crap like "The Bachelor"

maybe reality tv is just a fad, maybe it will die out like cooking shows.

I've got only one question. Why the **** is it called "Reality" TV?

becuase the people part of the show hav no script...so its like real life....i meen you go through your life wit everything planned......

yes, but in reality, are you ever going to be forced to live on an island and do pointless crap? nope...

and the real world usually gets a bunch of hot looking people but real life will u ever get hot roommates like that now u get fat a holes who eat ur food. god i hate reality tv because its fake.

reality tv is pointless...it just goes to show how f*cked up our culture is right now......you get retards goin on shit like fear factor to eat donkey balls and have a snake bite your ass....thats not fear thats retarded

Reality TV.... no wonder other countries hate the US.

Right now we are marketing on people like William Hung by exploiting them to laugh at them.

Yeah, God Bless America, eh?

It's only going to get worse folks. I heard on the radio this morning that the creator or writer of The Practice, someone who totally wrote off reality tv not too long ago, has now got a reality tv show coming out...I forget what it's about, but anyway, you get the point...

Thank You for this poll! Reality tv sux, ive hated it since it first started

This is actually a good point...

starwarsstarwars

Ditto.

we should like make a petition and send it to every television station showing our hate for it, maybe they will stop a couple pieces of crap shows.

i doubt that would work as long there gettin ratings there gonna keep showin in it but this might work....we should all try and get on the same reality show and sabotage it..f#ck it up somehow...like get a fear factor and if joe rogan wanted us to do a water stunt or somethin we just throw him in the water and be like b*tch you do it

If everyone hates it though, how does it get ratings?

i wish i knew...but there are still people watching that sh*t coz its still on the air

how can people not watch it, its on everychannel every time of the day, im sure there isnt one hour that goes by that there isnt a reality tv show somewhere, its like a disease that has spread through out television.

and thats why tv sets should come with a tevo

only prob w/ that is extra $$$$

god more reality tv on fox this summer............. sigh when will this horror end, for the love of god please end soon!

You'd have to tie me to a chair bolted to the floor in order to make me sit through a whole episode of 'Big Brother'. It's excruciatingly boring. Ditto to all the other shows -- around here we've had 'The Bachelor', 'The Bachelorette', 'Average Joe', 'Survivor', 'Big Brother' , 'The Block', 'Paradise Hotel', 'The Resort', so on, so forth. It's all boring trash, and I vote whoever started reality TV as we know it should be publicly executed immediately.

And 'There's Something About Miriam'... now that's just plain freaky.

yea i know, but like i mentioned earlier there is only one reality tv show i'd watch and the only reason is that it benefits real hard working people who deserve the honor, and that show is that extreme makeover home edition show, thats just great, it actually helps our country by helping those hard workers who are in need.

get rid of all the reality shows exept that one.

well i watch big brother, i think it's funny.
but pretty much all the other reality tv is absolute s**t. stiff like 'how clean is your house' where 2 old women go and shout at people because their house is messy.

stuff like that really annoys me. they should've just left it at big brother.

oh god now i hear the osbornes are gonna do some stupid ass band making reality show, sigh, the pain is too much to bare

heres the problem.....people say how much they hate a reality show or the stars of a reality show but there still watching the show...people will be like "man i hate paris hilton, there was this time on her show that she was soo bitchey and she was like that all the time"...well if you hate her so much change the station or turn off the tube but because they didnt theres gonna be a simple life 2

yea that is a big prob

Reality TV champions the stupid, shallow, materialistic, desperate for attention clowns in our world. The sad thing is that it'll only get worse. Network TV has finally figured out that people are mooks who'll watch anything.

Joe Schmo was good...damn you Reality TV!
DAMN YOU!!!!

gonna have to agree here the is far to much reality tv shit when are they going to stop ... when evrybody has been in a big brother house argh

sigh this agony may never end

It'd be great if reality TV would become a physical manifestation, so we can torture it.

But, as i always say, if you like the damn show, change the channel.

some of the reality shows are good but most just suck :P

wow, i made an error.

'But, as i always say, if you like the damn show, change the channel."

is supposed to be "if you DON'T like the damn show, change the channel."

I've given it some thought and there IS a reality TV show i would watch.

COPS man that show is great. i love seen people getting chased, friggin runnin through the streets naked trying to get away from the cops, pure comedy.

lmao yah that show is good

i think i already said this but it needs to be heard again, this is getting so bad that i can guarentee that every half hour there is at least one reality show playing on some channel

god soon reality tv will somehow spill onto the big screen........... wait..didnt they have some piece of shit movie about cancun.........god thats pathetic

i love reality tv..thats basically all i watch..

Aha, the thread ive been waiting for.

I HATE reality tv... absolutely hate it. Loathe, Despise... pick any adjective. It is shallow, pointless, more simply put, dumb !!

Watching people throw fits on an island, hanging models off a ceiling, watching some dude wash his clothes, listening to some wannabe sing. What really staggers me is the masses who find this crap interesting !!

Its totally absurd !!

Death to reality tv, ill be laughing the loudest if it ever gets abolished.

i really dont get y ppl love reality shows. can any1 who likes/loves them PLEASE try 2 explain it 2 me? i mean, what's the point? 4 example, r u really going 2 find the 1 u want 2 spend the rest of ur life with on a tv show (the bachelor/bachelorette)?!

god they suck
