jfields 0 #1 May 6, 2003 Okay, folks. Time to weigh in on "Reality TV" in general. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites indyz 1 #2 May 6, 2003 I like Cops. One of very few "reality" TV shows that is actually real. I also like Survivor, but I have no illusions that it's any more real than a soap opera. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lizzieb 0 #3 May 6, 2003 i can't help but watch...reality tv is like a bad car crash, as much as you don't want to watch it, you can't help it. i am so addicted to all of those stupid shows... i'm going to see "The Real Cancun" this week... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #4 May 6, 2003 Reality TV is for people with no reality in their lives. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sunshine 2 #5 May 6, 2003 Only reality show i watch is Survivor. I do know a certain .commer who is addicted to fraternity life on MTV though. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites quade 4 #8 May 6, 2003 I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Survivor" is one of the best shows that has ever been on television. The production values are incredible. Sets, locations, special systems cameras, environmental issues and it just goes on and on. I'd watch it just for that alone, but the social interaction aspect makes it even more incredible. It looks like a game, but it's usually really about personal discovery. The ONLY other show that even comes close is also by Mark Burnette, but it's only shown as a special on cable -- "Eco-Challenge". Burnette is a freekin' genius. Everything else in reality television is just crap.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites happythoughts 0 #9 May 6, 2003 I met some people during the taping of the MTV Road Rules and Real World stuff. They are kids who visit interesting places, do interesting things when they get there, and then whine about their "problems". Their life would be my definition of a vacation. Not much "reality" in reality tv. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jfields 0 #10 May 6, 2003 Quote Everything else in reality television is just crap. A little copy editing....

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Katzeye 0 #12 May 6, 2003 OK, I'll fess up. I watch Survivor on a weekly basis. It's my "General Hospital." I like to watch the group dynamics and I've learned alot about "alliances" and have actually applied these theories to work! So far, I've not been "voted off the island." I also watch MTV's (un)Real World, reminds me when I was more clueless (I'm still pretty clueless) and could drink all night long. I usually end up watching this plopping on the couch recovering from a hangover. Fear Factor used to rock, but now it seems they're just remaking the same stunts. Although the couples Fear Factor was really cool. Especially when the unmarried guys couldn't free their women from the box underwater and the girlfriends lost faith and bailed on them early. Hmmm, but the married couples had no problem getting that stunt done... And let's not forget THE OSBOURNES! The first season was just plain brilliant! LA* Is a chicken omelette redundant?

You have some weepy whiney idiots describing how difficult it is to overcome their fears and do some stunt, with professional safety people making sure the whole thing is fine. Like you, I'd pay money to them to be able to try the stunts. Some of them are cool. My wife is a big fan, so sometimes I get sucked in while she is watching, because I want to be with her.
