How does life make for compelling TV?

I assume you are talking about reality TV\n\nI think it makes people feel safe to know that other people experience what they experience.\n\nFor some people, it is compelling to see a "fly on the wall" view of someone else's life...Voyeurism

That depends on what you watch. There are a large number of educational programs for all ages (especially on the PBS channel). There is also a lot of no-brain nonsense, stuff like Survivor and reality shows and most sitcoms, that have no redeaming value at all.

I would rather stick my head into a blender and hit "frapee" than watch reality TV, which usually isn't as real as people think.  I watch football, which is a heckuva lot more real than reality TV.

Just an idea, you could start out with "Do any of you know the true effects of television and the internet of the youth of today. Then start to explain what you think or know. Good Luck Hope this is what you are looking for.

I gave up tv a decade ago or more. Since I got rid of the addiction, when on rare occasions I watch a sitcom or something like that. I will stand up when it's done and feel like a half hour of my life has been stolen. I do not feel refreshed only like I want to puke. I accidentally quit tv as I got so busy with music, computers and a lady I was dating that I found over a couple months I had not watched a single tv show. I decided to make that a perm part of my life without a single regret. \n\nTV is a passive activity. Who wants to be passive?  \n\nThink about it. If you watch an hour of TV a week thats 7 hours a week or 28 hours a month. At that rate you will lose almost 13 days a year to TV. 13 entire days of your life gone. You can't get it back, can't make it up, they are gone. If you watch two hours a day on average that's 26 or more days a year, almost a 12th of your year lost to TV. That is an entire month sitting on your butt and being force fed what somebody wants you to watch when they want you to watch it complete with attempts to get you to buy somebodies products. Do you really willingly do this?

It's a very interesting show. I have to record it because it comes on at the same time as Grey's Anatomy. I think it's a great show, with believable characters!!

That is just because you're easy to manipulate and is living according to the TV. Lots of people are like this.

Reality is only perception. MTV only cares about profit, and while these shows may not be a slice of life, they ARE entertaining.

T.V. in general and reality t.v.   specifically take us away from  our lives temporarily while providing entertainment.\nI don't like most of them, however i do watch Surreal Life and  the Flavor Flav date show. All to often they tend to show humanity at its worst which saddens me.I do enjoy when they manage to work through all the individual/group drama and create something wonderful wheather it be a project or new lasting friendships.

I believe tv desensitizes us from what we see in real life.  Often it can lead to accepting things that we might have found morally or lawfully wrong had we not watched the shows we watch IMO.
