I mean I started watching the Real World and Road Rules since I was nine. I remember watching Real World: Back to New York and watching the birth of the Miz. Maybe you guys are too young not to like it. But Reality TV= Ratings.
Tell me, why the hell do you think everyone is too young to understand things?

On the thread where ppl say what shows they want canclled, like 3 11 year olds said every reality show. I'm sorry but the real world has been around for more than 10 YEARS. It's no going anywhere.
Lyk omg! Three 11 year olds! That...that...that means nothing. Lots of people of all ages hate reality shows. I, myself, dont like them. But there are exceptions. Such as Scare Tactics (the old ones) and Ghost Hunters. Also, there are maybe one or two seasions of Real World that are actually good.
Yesterday, the typical prime-time TV block would consist of mostly dramas and sitcoms, plus a news program or two. Nowadays, they've all been replaced with reality TV=most of the shows are just crap nowadays. And of course, it was all in the days when there were no "netlets" or "fourth network". It was just ABC, NBC, and CBS then

The cable boom of the 90s sparked the death warrant of over the air network television. BTW, I will never recognize FOX as a major network, even though it has many more affiliates than WB or UPN.

But if gets high ratings it mean one thing: PEOPLE WATCH IT. MEANING IT'S NOT TRASH, LIKE POKEMON AND BET
Just because people watch something doesn't mean it isn't trash. Example: Britney and Kevin: Caotic, My Fair Brady, and anything else on VH1's Celbreality, or MTV, MTV2, MTVU, or any other MTV station I forgot. People who are too invested in television or celebrities watch these kind of shows. The kind of people who are easily amused.

You do know that even crtics have said that the higest rated reality TV show EVER, was the Real World. Did you know each season, the ratings for MTV grow because of the Real World? Guess not. I mean really, if Real World has bad they would have cancelled the show... stupid
It grows every year cause there are much more crackheads every year. Duh. Lyk everyone knows that

Listen, I am just saying, that the reality television you are talking about is not really reality, it is so edited, cut, clipped, and put back to gether, that it is basically fiction!

Also, a lot of times, the director tells them to do the things they do.

Yeah, I watched the behind the scenes of "The Bachlor" and the director was telling them to do alot of things. Also the controversy of "Joe Millionare" with the so called "sex scene" that never happend.

OMGPOKEMONRULE, stop the pointless aggression in this thread. That's a warning.




Reality television is enjoyable when a) you accept a very loose definition of reality, and b) you set standards for what you're going to watch, with creativity as your guideline for what to watch and what not to watch.
