It seems like every TV network has some type of reality show going on. So far, I can't stand any of them. They all sucked!!!:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:

If I watched one I would be sick immediately, the ads alone make me feel queasy....
I have to admit I was addicted to police pursuits for a while, but now they are all reruns.
It's amazing this new crap actually draws so many people. Given the choice I would rather mow my lawn. And that is far from my favorite chore.
Give me a good movie, Discovery show, or robotic competitions any day of the week!

Ditto for me too. I cant stand them. Damn I even hate TLC and Discovery. Used to be you could watch those channels and learn something not its a fricking Story channel and reality Channel. Thank God for PBS.

No. You are not the only one. I have no interest in them.

The shows are a sad comment on the state of our culture.

Well, no one seems to want to come out...

We watch a bunch of them. :shrug:

Well, let's see we now have "The restaurant" reality show. How about "I pump septics" or "The plumber".:D

Nah, the restaurant is too cerebral. We've actually become hooked on Paradise Hotel. At first we thought it was a bunch of social misfits, but they're actually sociopaths. Fox hasn't announced what the prize is, or even what the game really is, but for the good of mankind the game should end with the involuntary committal and mass sterilization of the participants.

We're also watching Big Brudder.

The reality is that there's nothing good on TV, especially during the summer. IMO.

"The Plumber"? Hmmm...would there be a "crack cam"?

I'm surprised the "Bum Fights" production people didn't partner with Fox. Care to wager whether Fox will be the first to televise executions?:eek:

Yea, I'd have thought Bum Fights and Fox would be a match made in heaven.

Fox the first to televise executions? Good call on that one. Trashiest reality TV + one of the most conservative news organizations = 'lectric Chair Monday, opposite MNF.

BTW, anyone watching Most Xtreme Elimination Challenge (TNN)? THAT is a funny show.

I never watch that crap, so NO I guess I am not sick of them. YES I am.

I like the restaurant but the only reality show I watch is the bachelor. All the others suck a$$. I

The only show I watch religiously is CBS "Sunday Morning", although I've been on an "Everybody Loves Raymond" kick lately :)

As many of you know, one of my hobbies is restoring vintage televisions, and about the worst thing after getting one of these old relics playing again is the fact that there's nothing to watch on them! :3:

Half of the stupid things don't get UHF :confused: , but I still enjoy them nonetheless.

All of the reality shows suck in my opinion! Except for Trading Spaces which I can't wait to see this Sunday.:4:

I wish somebody would -- I think public executions would help immensely in cutting down on crime.

What's most aggravating about so many of the reality shows is the lip-biting, weepy, soap-opera angle to target lip-biting, weepy, soap-opera-addicted viewers. Even "Last Comic Standing" spends the first 50 minutes with inter-personal struggles instead of just getting to the f**king stand-up routines!

BTW, the retired FBI agent on Big Brother is a high school classmate of my mom's husband from West Chester, PA. He must be the token Old Dude on the show.

BTW2, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is way too funny, probably because it's NOT weepy soap opera.

I don't watch 'reality' shows 'coz they are 'UNREAL'. Have you ever heard anybody (participants and crews) bitten by a snake in the SURVIVOR show? Maybe not even a mosquito bite.

All I have to say, thank God for sports.
MrPrescott
YES!! Wife and I were just talking about this. They are getting worse and worse. Even Trading Spaces is getting old.
mullysalt
Thank God for sports indeed. I think watching sports is the only reason I own a TV. At least football season is less than a month away. A good topic for the next poll; Which do you perfer watching on TV, college or pro football?
Reality shows are a scary indicment of American soceity. Networks love them though because of the low production costs.

Aside from The Practice, Law and Order and CSI, all I ever watch is sports. ESPN in the morning with a hot cup of Joe. . . Doesn't get much better than that!

"Law and Order" is the only show which has a decent script. :)
