Ok, everyone knows about these "reality" shows and the stupid stuff people do for money, fame, and "love". The thing is they are no more reality than any sitcom. Always the same stuff drama, drama, drama, (dry humor), and drama. I mean it may be entertaining for a year or two, but come on...when will it stop? I mean we're on Survivior 1 million and there was Big Brother 5,000 and on and on. It's like watching the grass grow, different day, slightly new grass, same concept. Here are a few specifics:
Survivor-Ok, come on, really. Get put on an island, savannah, desert and survive alone with camera crews and a host. They've done it at least 7 times(I lost count) and it's getting insane. Then they always have someone screwed up on there, someone who can't take the pressure, a person that throws himself in the fire, and a naked guy...oh boy! Then they always have to eat some kind of grub, bug, and other strange thing. What a premise for a show. Mabye once or twice but not a decade.
Big Brother-King of the drama series, yes? Put a whole bunch of people that probably won't agree with each other and film them yelling at each other 24/7. Hah, all they had to do is stick a camera in any mildly disfunctional family and there ya go. I'm not wasteing a lot of time with this one.
Bachelor, Bachelorette, Joe Millionaire, ect.-First of all this is a bunch of bull $#!&. Leave it to Fox to try and set up "true love" and let people be lied to and manipulated and have their emotions toyed with(fake or otherwise). First the Bachelor and Bachelorette have to choose a spouse out of about 20 or 30 or 100 for all I know for love. Yeah, like that's going to happen. The Bachelor chooses the hottest one(being a guy I would know) and the Bachelorette choosing the most rich and handsome guy in that order. Also, Joe Millionaire is based on the same thing except they throw in a huge lie and have the pain and sorrow of that crap. By the way most of the couples married on the show don't last at all. Out of 6 mabye 1 or 2 are left intact. Now, there's the ones with the ugly, average people and midgets...whoa. What production genius pulled this out of the hat. Let's just tick people off with this load of crap about "surprising" twists and turns.
Mad House and Real World-The basics of these shows is put a bunch of freaks and/or crazy disagreeable people in the same house and see who comes out alive. That is close to cruel and unusuable punishment for them and the audience. Not much to say because there's not much too it.
Fear Factor and such-Ok, these shows aren't that bad. But, there's still the stupid crap people say when they're on the show. Like acting surprised when some nasty stuff is going to be eaten. You've SEEN the show don't freak out. Don't like stupid stunts and nasty food, DON'T SIGN UP.
In, conclusion I find that some money grubbing executives have exhausted any ideas that they or the company has thought of and should bring back older better shows such as X-files, Greg the Bunny(sick but funny), Baby Bob(It's cute) and the ones they only give a season to mature ripen and make a million. But so is the fate of any bit of decent TV that could be aired on local cable. I pity anyone that does not have satellite or good cable. God be with you as you suffer intolerably at these monotonous shows.
That's my view, don't like...tough!
