Another one that Mythbusters checked out - had no effect whatsoever (maybe even made it slightly worse).\n\nHave tried myself and can't say I noticed any difference.

ALL OF THEM. Reality shows are forums for the crudest and most despicable pieces of human trash.

The idea is that they forget that they are being filmed and act normally. But how you can act normally when put into a situation outside of your normal daily life I don't know. It's never going to be true reality TV unless they use hidden cameras and record people without them knowing, but I think that there would be some legal issues with this.

They started out as music television, so they aren't going to change the name of the network now. As for all of the reality shows, that is what is popular now and what people watch, so that is why they are on. I think it sucks too, but they are all about making money and that is what makes the most money for them now.

pbs.org has some really good reliable information on the effects of meth on the entire body.  Included are some videos about brain chemistry, dentistry and an interesting series of pictures(mugshots)that visually chronicles teh devastating effects of meth use on a users appearance.

It's a reality show but it looks staged.

I would say the television would be the biggest influence.  A lot of Americans follow the televised and printed news as gospel and allow that to shape the way they feel about social issues. There are also the movies and TV which promote a certain type of lifestyles and people do not look at them as fantasy but as the way they should live or should want to live.  I think very few take influences directly from personal experience or research, most take it from hours and hours of TV.

Yes, most of them are crap. What's next - a reality show where the winners get to go on a reality show?

Depends on what you think may be side affects.

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

HUGE impact.  There are proved studies that show how much influence the media actually have over an election decision.

I think people will think that they'll get famous--their fifteen minutes so to speak.  I also think that the allure of money and the trip helps spur them to do it.\nSometimes I think that people that go on some reality shows really do want help, like Dr. Phil and Supernanny.  But people who go Jerry Springer are only doing it for the attention and so that their friends will think that they are cool.  Even the though the rest of America thinks they're idiots.\nI don't think I could ever go on any reality show because I'm too much of a private person, and the thought of the whole nation knowing my business creeps me out.

The media does not represent reality.  The shows are produced only to get mass media attention.  Good looking people are always used as they get more media attention.  Many TV shows have stupid scripts because people want stupid scripts and dumb sitcoms.  If people want a more intelligent media they should complain about TV to those who are in charge of programming TV networks.
