Question Reality Shows

Remember when the first reality shows came out!? Everybody was all like "Dude this is super neat!" and "These will never get old!" and even "No, no, don't stop a rockin'!" How do you look at reality shows now? In my opinion, they got old ages ago. So what do you think should be the future of this overused television trend?

Reality TV shows are disgrace to our already crapped up world. Not only do they have the stupidest and most retarded plots ever, they typicaly don't contain anything that could possibly be considered reality. And what the hells with American Idol? People say thats awesome, its the god damned most rotting piece of trash out there. Sure, lets watch some people sing.... yes, fun fun. I love the singing.

The only nice thing about that was that the black guy won, which was cool. That chick was stupid, and that white guy was gay beyond belief.

God, I hate reality T.V. I might say, contempt.
American Idol...jeez. More idealistic media controlled dogma to add to the festering pile that is humanity.

How can this reality filth still be on television? The only people that watch it are seven year old girls.
Big Brother takes off all these good programmes people actually want to watch. Stupid Australians... take Simpsons off air.

The first Big Brother was good, since the contestants didn't know it would be such a huge show.. but now, i think they're just acting inside the house.. and i hate Reality T.V shows cause its fake and retarded......

Yeah, I liked the first Big Brother, and the first Celebrity Special, but beyond that reality television doesn't interest me at all - neither the kind that is outrageous and unrealistic, nor the kind where camera crews follow round vets/airport staff/mad scientists.

I detest all reality TV. I think they realised with the first series of everything that people are just too boring. So it becomes no longer Reality Tv but It looks like reality TV.......

Hello MojoMan. I do not mind reality television shows. But they are getting boring and there are too many of them now, so I do not watch them much anymore. And they are not very interesting anymore. Although some guys would like one that was on television here the other day as it was about Playboy girls.

They should all die a horrible death! And anyone who watches them should join them (sorry Summoner Yuna). Actually, that's a bit extreme, but they are seriously crappy! They've turned television into worse garbage than it used to be. I don't know what people enjoy out of them.

Now some of them are O.K. I enjoyed some of the reality show like "The Mole", "Bargain Hunt" and "Survivor", but some of them are just stupid. There was one on the other day call something along the lines of "Who wants to be the next Playmate of the Year". Now I can't say that I gave it a chance, but the name itself sounded like it was going to make me more stupid if anything. We might not be too far from "Celebrity Executions" at this rate.

Shit. Why have we not gotten that one?

Survivor, in my opinion, was one of, if not, the worst reality show. It was so scripted, people wouldn't really have all those fall outs and things if not provoked.
