I think these shows are popular because after watching any of them, you're filled with a giant sense of relief. Relief that you're not living such a stupid, superficial existence and very thankful of your own life and family!

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 !!
I agree 100%

I don't watch any of this either, but find it sad, that it is taking over so much of prime time tv. What a waste, do they think we are all of this mentality, & only want to watch more & more of this kind of garbage? Good reason to watch less & less on tv. We buy DVDs alot, movies we really like, & boy, do they come in handy quite often these days!...

Somebody watches or they wouldn't be on, just glad it isn't me watching. I mute the ads for these shows so don't really know what they are about but can tell by seeing pictures it is not something I want to waste my time on.

wow, glad to know I am not alone in my low opinion of these shows!!
I miss the great old shows like Taxi, Cheers, Barney Miller - consistently funny and great talent.
I will confess to watching Hoarders/ing, Animal Hoarders, and the ghost shows. Some of the ones on Discovery I think they should move to the "WTF" channel - 900 pound woman, I am addicted to eating detergent, etc.
