Does anyone else think reality shows are dumb?

Agree on that... Isnt it a bit stupid to watch other people lifes when you can have so much more fun living yours...\nThese days people are obsessed with "reality" shows while not seeing the reality around them, not noiticing the lack of reality in the shows...

While it is clear that those show are fictional and for entertainment purposes only, sometimes there is truth in comedy. No one should get there news from entertainment but from multiple sources.

Some are alright, like Trading Spaces or any of the other home decorating reality shows. At least they are productive in beautifying a nice room in the house. Some fo the other reality shows seem staged and are too shallow and dramatic.

They think its real life because they are way too deluted to see something that is so obviously either tampered with or scripted.

i feel the same way... CN must be having a brain lapse when choosing their shows... they actually make you stupid, there are no positives coming out of their programming...\n\nNickelodeon all the way

I do i watched it a few times and i thought it was totally stupid and too far out of touch with reality. ya know you watch soaps to go into a fantasy world but yet you still want a touch of the real world to make it believable and passions is just not believable to me anyway!!

Many reality TV shows are boring or silly.  For example, it seems to me that "Fear Factor" is mostly about watching women in bathing suits do stuff.\n\nSome reality TV shows don't teach good values.  For example, "Extreme Makeover" supports the ideas that (a) if you're not good looking, there's something wrong with you and (b) making yourself good looking will make you a better person and instantly fix all your problems.\n\nI like some reality TV shows if they show something interesting and don't teach harmful values. Some shows that I like are nanny shows that teach parenting skills or shows like The Biggest Loser that encourage people to be healthier.  Even then, I worry that maybe the shows aren't showing true reality, but reality that's been pumped up or even totally invented for the camera.

No, I think it's more exposing the stupidity and shallowness of most American people. OK, at least SOME.\n\n(Meaning many people who know about Idol and vote don't even know who their state representatives even are, much less voted to elect them)

It's a reality show but it looks staged.

I did for a few years.  It's overdone now.  I've moved on to other Reality Shows.

I'm totally with you!!!!!!!!!!  Everytime i go pass that channel they are playing that stupid show - the Yo Momma show with the 70s dude name Wilmer something.  How high can his IQ be to do this show, he was awesome in the 70s show, but this new show he has out is stupid.  I think he is trying to be like Ashton with his reality show, but it is not working.  I hate that show.  And if they are not showing that it's some other stupid reality show or some rap video.  Back in the day, they use to actually play rock on MTV!\n\nhttp://www.superflysunglasses.com

very bad, real life is not as it is portrayed on tv, even reality TV. People get depressed bc they are bombarded with the ideas that that is how reality is supposed to be like and they think "why cant i get it together..." well the truth is life is too complicated and too boring at other times, to be on tv.
