Heh. Normal TV is a waste of your life as it is, let alone reality TV. It's like they took what few, minuscule, even remotely appealing aspects it normally had and threw them all out the window, leaving behind only mindless, thought-destroying, entropic shows that destroy your life in clean half-hour chunks several times a week. Read a book! Go outside! Do something that will give your life meaning!

 

Summary: It's not my cup of tea.

 

I've gotta say that's not the case with Jediphile's link, though. :D

The thing with reality television shows is they are 1) Boring 2) Anyone who watches them normally think that they are really cheesy. * Or at least I do* Me I would rather watch the History channel or read a book and actually learn something. :)

Does American Chopper count? I like the builder shows like that one or Biker Build-Off, and my wife sometimes watches the home decorating shows, but other than that I despise reality shows a la Big Brother. Rock Star Supernova was one of the most depressing "You know you've hit middle age" moments I've had in years.

Sorry, but I have to go on a mini-rant here. I can't help it, I'm bored. :p

 

I think reality shows are not only overly dramatic, but are dehumanizing for the people in the show, and to some extent the people who really enjoy watching those kinds of shows, like my parents. One example I can point out easily is Kid Nation, where they throw a bunch of kids into some empty place and say "make a government and economy." This show, if it was anything before, has degenerated into an hour of kids crying and adults at home laughing at the kids for not being able to do things that some adults can't even do. Like I'm gonna sit in front of my TV, watch some poor kid who probably was tricked into going on that show by their parents, see them break down in tears, and then laugh on my couch, because a 10 year-old would rather be happy playing with his friends than being on some show so people can be entertained by him being miserable?

 

Forget that, I'd rather watch the Food Network. Of course, I always add my own instruction to every recipe, no matter what it is: Add BBQ Sauce. Add alot of it. :D

 

Edit: Even to Ice Cream or Cake? :eyeraise: -RH
