Well, I've watched 4 out of the 5 at some time or another, and it's pretty much just brainless activity err or non-activity I should say...I did in fact have nothing better to do, but I didn't turn the channel after landing on it either...hmmmm?? :D

Maybe I am showing my age but I think maybe it could make a big difference in the world if we took some of the violence off the screen. Ok..will step down from my box. Lol !!

My boyfriend likes to watch these shows for the drama. Personally, I think they're stupid and shouldn't be on t.v. The language is horrible and they don't set any kind of example for anyone. Why would I want to sit and watch some foul-mouthed bratty adult cry, whine, and drink all day? I wouldn't and I don't.

OK, I get the reality shows like Ax Men, etc, people working, or Little People, etc, people with an unusual life situation.
But as far as I can see, NOTHING happens on these other ones. Any time I have tuned in (and it is not for long) people are just sitting around talking (at best) and hollering (at worst).
Are we supposed to be fascinated because they are "famous"?
I must be getting old, I don't even know why these people are famous or who they are.

The money is outrageous for the people on the show. The min. wage per 'star' is half a million for a season, if the show becomes a hit, the 'star' makes the producers millions as well as themselves. Most of the reality shows of this type of junk are produced by Ryan Seacreast of American Idol.
The one show I did like was Little People and most of TLC, History, and Discover reality shows are informative and entertaining.

I avoid those shows! I can't stand most reality tv. It is a joke. The one on MTV 16 and Pregnant is almost encouraging girls to get pregnant to be on tv! And Murray is just down right disgusting! I have never watched that show but my dil does and thinks it is "funny". I don't like that kind of entertainment!
