    The shows go to far anymore. They aren't 'reality' shows, they are surreal episodes.

    I watched a documentary on Reality TV. It isn't reality at all. It is more like live acting, taken to a bizarre level. It is so scripted, and contrived. Even those judge shows! As much as I like to watch them when I am home early enough. I had a client that was on one, and he told me he was totally coached to be super duper irrational, emotional, etc. Total acting.

    But, it is entertainment, afterall.

    I love reality shows. Thats almost all I watch, besides 7th Heaven. I watch as many as I can. My favorites are American Idol, INXS-- I think Mig or Marty is going to win it. My favorite girl on the show is Jordis.. I also like Nashville Star, Amazing Race, Surreal Life, and a few others too.

    Which is why I made the comment I made about it not being "real" You just said it much better than I did.

    I'm not so much into the ones where there's a lot of fighting and back stabbing and such. Lil' too much real life for me. I normaly like more uplifting, escapism type TV.

    I did enjoy Dancing with the Stars. I just loved John O'Hurley on this. He and Charlotta was robbed, I tell ya, not to have won. I also watched Show Dog's Moms and Dads. Mainly for the dogs. I wouldn't have watched it otherwise. And I'll admit I did watch some of Chasing Farrah. For the flake factor mainly.

    Par...

    Got to agree with you there. It is just contrived drama, and I don't think it's even remotely entertaining.

    Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole

    I love reality TV, I just seem to watch them whether they are good or not, I like to watch a programme where it does not matter if you miss a word or two, not having to concentrate on the story line sometimes, and Reality TV is good for that, I still like mystery's and other TV where you brain is a bit challenged as well, but for chilling out when I am tired Reality TV does it for me.

    I gave up on Fear Factor, I got sick of all the plastic fantastic girls on it, and i was offended by the live bug eating, I considered that cruel and distasteful excuse the pun, although I did love Joe the presentor , he was a kewl dude.

    Survivor I just got fed up with , too many of them, but I do enjoy The Apprentice, I never really got into the first couple of them , but now I hate to miss it, so video it to make sure.

    Right now we are being overloaded with people helping people to raise their unruly kids, Supernanny, which I do enjoy, Little Angels and even a NZ one, just too many of the same kind of programmes on at once.
    Furangels only lent.

    I rarely watch TV at all. I watch the news, a few programs on Animal Planet and I love HGTV, Discovery Health and TLC. I could do without most of the channels that are on my TV.
