Shari one time my 16 yr. old DD put on facebook 16 and pregnant yay!! So I wrote back saying is there something you need to tell me? I was getting upset because all of our family would see that even her boyfriends mom. All I could think is how could she do this and not come to me. Finally she responded with MOM it's a tv show!!!!! That child was lucky I didn't bust her bedroom down. LOL!!

I agree.....decent hardworking people are boring I guess, so they have to look to the gutter to entertain. It makes me shudder at the mentality of the people who watch that stuff.

In my opinion there is no reason for these kind of shows to be on t.v. I've never watched them because I've seen previews that don't interest me at all. If they want to put "reality" shows on why don't they show "real" families. Mothers driving in 6 different directions taking kids to practice, friends, grocery shopping, that's reality. I sure don't sit around chitchating with friends in expensive clothes. I'm out gardening, cleaning, sewing cooking. They must have a very boring life.

I guess the one thing these show can do though, make us thankful that we do have a lot to be thankful for, a normal family life.

Some people do not have a life and use these shows to substitute.

Yep, my DH has his TV and I have my quilting, but he usually watches things like Ax Men, Dirty Jobs, or the weather channel for five hours straight...

These kind of shows are probably real cheap to make. Don't have to pay writers for quality scripts or people who can actually act. TV programming is terrible.

I've never watched any of them. When I ran across them (channel surfing) left it on for about 30 seconds and turned it off. Then turned the tv to music channels and went back to sewing.

I haven't either. And my "reality shows" are pretty limited. Animal Cops, It's me or the Dog,Pit bulls and Parolees.. I do like the shows like Pawn Shop, Pickers, and ones like that. Now that I live with my brother, he has all the channels. But it is a waste for me . Lets see only other shows I watch are CSI type . Which reminds me I have to watch CSI tonight. It has Roller Derby in it. :-)

I have not, nor will I watch this type of show. I have 2 sisters who regularly get together one night a week to watch "Trash" tv. What a waste of time, in my opinion.

Just shows us how DULL these folks really are! More excitement here and REAL life drama where I live. Those shows are made made to bore us and put folks to sleep.
