You can watch as the western world culture declines and cheapens. How long can you watch people on an island and still be entertained by it?
Reality TV is slowly taking over the airwaves while good programming like "ren and stimpy" is nearly impossible to find.

the programs run by fox television corparation, cbs, nbc, and any other worthless piece of crap that the majority of americans worship. complete waste of time as the consumer watches it only then giving more money to people who are too rich already and giving fake political candidates, such as Bush, more power in sponsorships. has no relation to reality in any way. DONT WATCH!!!!!!
Don't watch reality tv, it corrupts the minds and is what gives all Americans a bad name in Europe.

possibly the worst advent in television since pro wrestling. Basically an excuse for Fox TV to only have to spend $30,000 dollars on random street folk and a handycam, so they can tape for twelve hours and get ridiculously high ratings, turning a large profit in the process-originated with shows like COPS, and Candid Camera, and eventually degraded itself to shit like "The Simple Life," "Joe Millionare," and most recently and disgustingly, "The Swan"
"Rupert Murdoch is a walking, talking asshole who uses human degradation to add to his pile of blood-money."

T.V shows that show real people doing what real people really would never do!
People being "stranded" on an island with fifteen other people and have to do challenges so you don't get "voted off"!

Like all forms of TV (except legitimate sports), reality TV is scripted. Oh, the dialogue may be improvised but the situations are scripted... CBS knows who's gonna win "Survivor" before they even film it!

The first season of "The Real World" (back in 1992) may not have been scripted... but every single so-called reality TV show since then was! You think Viacom or News Corp or Disney or General Electric is gonna finance a show if it ain't a sure thing?
I think we should combine a few reality TV shows. Let's broadcast the true story of 16 sorority girls (ages 18 to 23) picked to live on a tropical island who are competing for the affections of a wealthy, handsome bachelor...

IN A DEATH MATCH THUNDERDOME TOURNAMENT!

The stuff people watch when they want to get away from their own pitiful realities.

Like soap operas, but with a cash prize at the end.
The Apprentice, Survivor, Girls vs. Boys, etc.
