I don't even own a tv but the news about all those real life characters filters in anyway. And alot of the reason I don't have a tv is because of shows like that and some of the evening sitcoms are bad too.Once I watched 2 episodes of "Family Guy" at someones home (couldn't change the channel, not my tv)and I was SHOCKED! I wasn't born yesterday (as my Dad used to say) but it was horrible.
I have my computer and can watch re runs of this and that on "Hulu" or even watch DVD's on my computer. I miss Animal Planet and Discovery is about all.

I don't watch much tv. Don't know why anyone would want to waste their time watching the junk or trash that comes on these days. Hubby stays on the history channel, the western channel, or football. Those are the only channels our tv knows...

There is no point, it just shows how lame tv has really become over the years, i think they really need to ditch reality tv IMHO, it was hot ten years ago, and now its cold, they just have nothing new to put on tv which is why they have resorted to these stupid shows, it like the new kid on a sitcom, you know when something is dying off

DH and I find it a hoot that my FIL who is 83 years old, watches all the reality programs. We were visiting a little over a year ago when Kelly Osbourne was on Dancing with the Stars and he told us that she was the daughter of Ozzie and Harriet. She's the daughter of Ozzie Osbourne, who is light years from Ozzie Nelson, and not in a good way if you ask me. We knew it was just a mistake but we still laugh about that one. As for us, we have never and never will watch so-called reality TV.

We just got Netflix a couple of days ago, they are offering a free month, and I could not believe the great tv shows they have from the past. This is going to be a blast. But I have to admit, I have a thing for Gordon Ramsey, even tho he throws more F Bombs than anyone I know. I like to watch him on BBC. (Well, we all have our dirty little secrets, don't we?) LOL

Well, I know a few people who watch a couple of these shows as well. All I can say is while I do not understand their fascination the feeling is mutual and they do not get my "thing" for vampires.... :) LOL So we leave it at that. lol
LOST was my absolute show and honestly this year I feel...lost without it (no pun intended) I'm totally addicted to Bones and Criminal Minds. For reality shows I enjoy Amazing Race, Survivor and the occasional Hoarders - I can only stomach that show a little at a time. So sad. Oh and I do watch 16 & Pregnant/Teen Mom with my almost 17 year old daughter. I know it sounds cliche' but we really do have some good discussions out of it. I only watch those because she watches them.

Fast forward to the present: a LOT of women work outside the home, so don't ever watch soap operas. So the tv stations put on reality shows at night to fill the void of snooping into other people's lives. Just a theory.
