Why do reality tv shows do not depict reality?

No, because TV shows are planned and true reality is random.

Hell no, there's no kind of artistic expression in a reality game show. Ugh!!! I'm a full grown man and I have an impressive collection of Anime and Manga which I was sadly turned on to when I was already an adult. My first Anime was "Fist of the North Star" and I had no idea that it contained so much violence and action and just as entertaining as a regular movie.

Teens now have a new outlook on how they should be and their sense of humor/style has changed.  Teens are easily influenced though and often change anyways so it cant be entirely blamed on reality tv

Because people are not ready to accept the facts what is happening in their real life. Having so much of desire beyond their limits and they want to get it by crooked way, and sometimes coincidentally it happens they started believing it strongly.

they dont but its the ime when we give full liscence to our imagination and besides how could they run a show if there was never a strange shadow (prob from the camera man or director) to keep ppl hooked. When its bright out ppl can see whats there or not.

If you mean competing in reality shows for a prize, then ABSOLUETLY NOT! Looking at recent sites and ratings, shows like SURVIVOR, The Amazing Race, and American Idol have dominated. This shows that catfighting draws people in. I love SURVIVOR, because it is a good show and you even forget the money and you just want someone to win. Go to www.tv.com and click reality, plenty of people do not want these shows to be banned.

I don't watch ANY reality television programs. Its not necessarily because I have higher standards (I loved Love Boat, but to be honest I was eighteen and got to see both Charo and Barbi Benton in bikinis! Help me.) but because I dislike these as attempts to crush labor in the USA. No wait, hear me out, this really does make sense, I promise!\n\nReality programs came out only after television writers threatened to go on strike because management wanted to change the procedure for paying royalties so the writers would be paid MUCH less from then on. Then, all of a sudden all of these horrible reality programs started up and sadly people began to watch just because they showed people at their very worst (Marry a Millionaire, Survivor, Big Brother, etc).\n\nReality Programming is a Supply-Side Economics method of circumventing labor costs, especially creative labor. The program does not require a script and does not require any sort of logical progression. It merely needs three cameras and a gaggle of idiots who are willing to be humiliated while dancing for peanuts on television. Even if almost no one watches, management still has a profit because there is very little overhead. The market place should weed out such poorly made products, but because EVERY network (to include A&E and HGTV!) now has its own reality programs, it is only a choice between equally awful programming. To make matters worse, the viewing audience now shouts resoundingly, "Cheat us our of quality viewing, we like it!"\n\nHey, it makes sense to me! Stop hitting me!\n\nAnyways, that's the voice in my head that is shouting the loudest, and all the other voices are scared of it.

Reality television came alone when everybody was tired of watching the same type of shows on TV.  People liked it because it was different.  Just like everything else it has been over done.

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.

You do realise its not just like the CSI on tv, my uncle does it. He needs to get therapy from seeing some sick shit, like children that have been stabbed etc. Most cases go unsolved too, so yeah the tv dramas that glorify it - yah not really like real life.\n\nbad people do win sometimes

I think they are stupid and some are just wrong, but banned?  That seems a little harsh.  For example, I like country music but many people think its stupid and that some of the songs are just wrong.  I would cry if they banned or censored country though!  Reality shows may fool some people, but people need to learn to judge for themselves what is real and what is fake.  Their is always going to be garbage on t.v., we just need to learn to sift through it.

Well, unlike you, I HATED "reality TV shows" from the beginning. The moment I saw them on TV several years ago, I could tell this was fake, by how much my brain cells were dying by the second. It's amazing how anyone who has a little experience in theater or the entertainment arts can land a job on one of these shows. It's not like they can just pick ANYONE off the street, and make it into a REAL reality TV show or something, can they?? God, I wish these shows would get blown off the face of the earth. No such luck....:(

because they can't get it in real life.

Television is an escape from life. It should not be compared to real life, because if you could, nobody would watch television when they could go out and do stuff they see on tv.

I haven't seen it but i believe that a lot of these shows are fake. Just like that movie about the game shows being rigged i think that's what going on today in a lot of the reality tv/game shows.
