I would rather have a root canal than watch them. Cooking, remodeling, home shopping, pawn shops, fake celebrity families with no particular talent, on and on and on and...
Excuse me. I had to go throw up at the thought of all those staged phony (cough-cough) "reality" shows.
I saw my overly healthy TV watching habit collapse in about 2-3 years from 2005-2008. It was shocking in a way of how I was feeding my VCR's a six pack of tapes a week and in that time, it went to ZERO.
SIGH.....I guess it was an effective killing of the old school watchers, much more devastating than the Rural Purge, but GEEEEEEEEE!
I am sick to death of them. I can't think of any I really like.
I used to like a few of the cooking type shows - but then are they really "reality" shows? Maybe the dramatic ones like Gordon Ramsey types... I don't consider the instructional ones reality. I like Masterchef, sometimes.
I have once in awhile watched an episode or 2 of Hoarders or the Couponing one, or for trainwreck effect the Cheapskate ones. But 90% of the time I do without those.
I like Web of Lies or Dateline type on occasion, but again, are those the typical reality ones we're talking about? I tend to think of those as more documentaries.
Mostly no; I hate reality shows so much. I don't know how anyone can sit through them. I've seen a couple advertised and I don't understand how they are shows at all? Who is this Kressley (sp?) person and why does he have a show? Why does anyone want to watch that? Apparantly some rich guy has a show about how he just lives his life, cooks and shop and he is really dramatic and his family and stuff. The worst to me are just spoiled celebs who are famous for nothing, and it just shows them shopping, eating out, whining and going "OMG" about their daily lives, being rich and dramatic, blah blah. Why would anyone want to watch that garbage?
Have I said I hated them? HA HA!

Exactly the same for me. I finally caved and watched American Idol when it had been on for something like 4 years already, but I didn't follow it for long.

I watched one of those shows once as polite company. One of the things that really bugged me was that they could not keep the camera on the person on the stage. They would show the person on stage, cut to the host and then to the audience to see how they were reacting and then back again to repeat the cycle.
WHO THE DARN HECK CARES HOW THE NON PARTICIPANTS ARE REACTING? Further, if they have to show the audience to promote ratings for whatever purpose, then the person on the stage can't be that great, can they?
AHEM!..........I don't watch.
