ok there are some shows that are complete trash and need to go- whatever happened to tv movies?--it is really bad- I write reviews and here are a few:
1. Sons of Hollywood- Randy Spelling talking about his dads funeral. Partying kids trashing their trust funds- boring
2.Simple Life (no need for comment)!
3. Nanny Swap/Wife swap- whatever- I dont watch.
Last night on Larry King: Mary Jo Buttafuoco (shot in NY by husband's teenage lover) mentioned that Amy Fisher and Joey were approached by trash tv producer-when will it end- ugh- no wonder cable and satellite are a monopoly- I need at least one decent show to watch per night!! Is it too much to ask for a MOVIE
Reality TV is precisely why my tv watching has declined from 2+ hours per night to about 3 hours per week.
Of course internet forums have nothing to do with it! But thank goodness they are here to rescue me from Reality TV- I get enough reality in life. Don't need to be entertained by it too!
But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Amazing Race. I want to be on that show so badly but my friends won't do it Is that reality or more game show, though?
The vast majority are terrible: Flava of Love, Celebrity Fit Club, Bad Girls Club, Bridezillas, Real World (that was good 14 years ago, horrible now), all these Bounty Hunter shows, Tori and Dean Inn Love, the VH1 Jerry Springer behind the scenes reality show, I Love New York, Hogan Knows Best...ALL MUST GO.
My guilty secret: I watched The Real Housewives of Orange County and Workout on Bravo. And back in the day I loved Newlyweds.
I am absolutely hooked on Dancing with the Stars. This is the first year we've watched Dancing and also watcjed last 7 or 8 American Idol shows. I think it's a waste of time to watch American Idol from the beginning when they have all the 'comedy' acts. Should this be considered in the vein as the wife swapping, batchelor, nannie shows?
well- I was targeting the extreme bad taste ones- stuff like DWS or Idol at least has a premise- I am talking about the gossipy mean-spirited shows- with people trashing each other, etc.
I couldn't agree with you more on the reality shows. If that was all that was on TV I would throw it away. We watch dancing with the stars and idol. Other than that its either the history channel, discovery channel or the food channel. Wait a minute, I love watching the reruns of Beverly hillbillies, Mayberry RFD, I dream of genie and of course Scooby Doo...
Besides the good stuff on Court TV I hate every scripted reality tv show out there, and yes this includes trash like American Idol. What do these singers contribute and add that millions of others haven't already? Sure, they may have talent, but I can't think of a single significant person who was on American Idol and went to drop an earth-shattering record.
Beyond the obvious trashy reality shows, anything on MTV, American Idol, and re-runs of "Saved by the Bell". I channel surf and simply the two seconds I spend on the station, I feel my brain start to shrink.
