And People's Court, too. You couldn't make half that stuff up.

I think that goes for pretty much any reality TV.

Well I like only two "reality" shows, Dancing W/ the Stars (more like Celebuwannabes or B or C list actors, and sports stars for most of them, but as long as there's good dancing, I'm fine with them), and "So You Think You Can Dance? (excellent dance show, real talented people, and my ears don't bleed or want to because no bad singing!). Funny thing about "Dancing" is that often I know the pro dancers more then their "star" partner!

I used to watch Project Runway. The more talent related shows can be okay sometimes. I used to like MTV when it actually played music.

I laughed at that pic

. I have never watched Nookie or that other show with the Kardashions(sp?)I have seen the adverts promoting the TV shows but what do these families do except shop and fight? I can't be bothered.

The TV shows I really do enjoy is 'Who do you think you are' and I loved the whole 'grumpy old men and women series'.

Oh we enjoy "Who Do You Think You Are?" as well, it's fascinating!

Did you mean "Nookie" or did you misspell Snooki?

Agreed about reality TV; apart from the dancing and the WDYTYA, it usually makes ME want to start self-harming, or throw something at the TV, or both.

The ugly secret behind "reality" shows is that they are highly choreographed (not talking about the dance shows here!) The producers shoot hours of film and carefully choose the shots that tell the story they want to tell in that episode. The networks love these shows because they are so cheap to produce...no writers or actors to pay...give the participants a prize and fifteen minutes of fame.

LOL My bad I misspelt Snooki, I am terrible with names, but I never watch those shows. I am looking forward to the new WDYTYA which starts here in January. These episodes include Emilia Fox and J.K Rowling I shall be watching.

Fljustice--I understand what you mean, but surely these people who participate know that? I just don't understand why people want the worst side of themselves to be shown on TV? Where is their sense of worth?.....Now to bring forth another series...I love the TV shows that take people back in time...I just recently bougth 'Edwardian Farm' I find these shows truly fascinating. Who else does?
