I can not stand reality shows. Short and simple. Why do I hate reality shows? Some of it is stupid and some of if it is ridiculous. Many people exploit themselves on television for the exposures to society hoping that can lead them to fame or a huge amount of cash. If not fame, they hope they would have a legacy worth remembering. I tend to stay away from reality because it’s not worth my time.
MTV, VH1, and FOX (I’m sure there are other channels) are the big three when comes to reality. MTV stands for Music Television. If you check what is on MTV you’ll get some reality show instead of anything involving with music. On MTV, the reality shows they show are; Teen Moms, The Substitute, Rob and Big, The Real World, True Life, Made and MTV’s hit Jersey Shores. I don’t watch MTV anymore due to the lack of Music involving that channel, that’s why I watch VH1 Classic.
VH1 also shows nothing but reality shows, although there are a few shows involving music such as Behind the Music and music countdowns. VH1’s reality show consist of; Basketball wives, Celebrity rehab, La La’s full court, What Chilli wants, and Ton of Cash. I checked the guide and I cant find any other shows that would show in that channel.
FOX has to be the father of all reality. My first and only reality show I watch from that channel is COPS, I remember my Dad was watching that show when I was about 7. Other then COPS, there plenty of reality shows, from what I can remember there was; Hell’s Kitchen, The X factor, So you think you can dance, Nanny 911, Are you smarter then a 5th grader, Joe Millionaire and the biggest show on FOX, American Idol. There are still plenty more but FOX discontinued most of its reality show into a sitcom.
So, reality shows ruin my interest towards television. I don’t plan on watching anything involving cash prizes towards the end (unless it’s Fear Factor), that is why I stick with movies and old shows I use to watch.
I know what you mean. Some reality shows just seem to be a waste of one's time. There are a few that I do like to watch because they are competition based. I completely agree with you about MTV and VH-1. Where has the music gone????
ReplyDeleteThe people exploiting themselves are all about the money and some people don't see that. And where has the music gone?
ReplyDeleteyour right....there is not much music in MTV no more sad but true.
