Reality shows--ur opinion?

I am plenty sick of reality shows, but you put it so well: the networks 'saving paying actors' fees' will keep them on the air forever, I'm afraid, though it does like like a lot of dramas are scheduled for this fall; problem is, I don't trust the schedules...we'll see.

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.

I think everything is scripted. MTV's "reality shows" are the most obvious examples. I doubt TV courtrooms are any different

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.

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

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

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 actually seen that show for the first time about a month ago and I usually don't like "reality" t.v. but I love God or the Girl, I think its because I know people who have struggled with that question, I'm not Catholic but I live in a town with a huge Catholic demographic.

Come on! TV doesn't always imitate reality... How much of TV is staged, though? That's why it's important to remember that what you see on TV isn't real life even if the producers want you to believe that it is.

Watching crappy reality shows on networks that i loathe like mtv and vh1.\nI don't watch them often, but every now and then i'll catch myself doing it. Of course, i am quick to criticize anyone else watching such trash.

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 think it is a great shocasing show. It is good to see people have their dreams pushed a little closer to reality, whether they get to win the finals or get enough to show off viable prototype.\n\nCase in point: The person who invented the Sackmaster 3000, which is a one-man tool to help fill sandbags (instead of two men) for emergency planning efforts; I believe that was a great invention the person dreamed up, yet he didn't make it because only one of the three will go to the finals (where it was the football-catch-trainer instead of the Sack or the newfangled umbrella). The person'sSackmaster is still in a final product stage and can still be produced, so I think any person who gets his invention made one iota closer into a tangible product makes anyone happy.\n\nAlso, this show reminds me of a show in the late 80's early 90's called "Why Didn't I Think Of That?", where people would come onto the show and display their inventions that they created, including notables like the "Automatic Cat Scooper Litter Box" Machine (thats the only notable one I can remember though, because this show was at 4am) or the "Reassemblable Pizza Box", where a pizza box can be seperated and recombined into a smaller, leftover size for convenience.  That 80's show even had the inventor of the Super Soaker come on and show off his already famous water gun too.  Then the show dissapeared. This reality version is the closest iteration of a show that is announcing to the world of the new inventions that people are dreaming up.

trust me,it's not you..when flipping aimlessly looking for music videos,i'm always shocked & amazed when mtv is actually playing one. i must be old..i remember back in the day when mtv was nothing BUT music videos..\nand a side note,doesn't it seem like "reality" shows have changed the definition of the word "reality"?

I agree with you on the true definition of reality.  What we call reality is just a perception.  I like how you think.
