REALITY TV

So I was having a discussion about a comment I mad about a reality show. Myself I rarely frequent those dating shows I'm more of a RW/RR challenge type or Top Chef (I Love Food). However these new age reality shows are seemingly stirring up a vast amount of interest from unfamiliar areas. I stumbled upon an individual watching the TO Show. I pondered why a person with no sports interest would watch a show about a athlete??? They said the show wasn't about sports which is TRUE to a certain extent. I said, it actually pertains to sports due to the person being an Athlete!  I mean, if TO was replaced with ME would you watch his show? They became enraged that i could not see their point. The only reason the show has relevance is because TO is an athlete, right?

I am just curious as to why people watch all these reality shows i.e The Hills, The City, TO Show, ALL those crappy wedding shows? Do they make you feel a certain way?

Hell! I feel depressed and Dumber whenever I see someone I know watching! I can't stand the sound of some White Girl arguing with her friend over who has the same dress as them, or Justin Bobby had a attitude and Audrina doesn't know what to do. The chick from the City broke her heel on her Christian Louboutins! How appealing is that? Watching those terribly hard at work prissy grown kids argue about items that cost more than your weekly pay. I was told to never fantasize about the lives of others! To create my own reality! So why is it that so many of us are stuck trying to create a reality that is owned by someone else?

On the other hand, it could just be for entertainment purposes (my neutral point of view HA)! I doubt that watching a bunch on rambling TRAMPS like the Kardashians could ever be entertaining to me, but hey you are what you watch, right? They say that television influences our youth so does it not influence our adults?

We complain about what the youth are watching, but we are not telling them that these characters are not individuals to use as role models. I just wonder how you can realistically discuss these characters to children and tell them not to want to be that way. Hey Montana Fishburne, don't make a sex-tape and gain all the notoriety in the World for no reason and become rich for it.

Now we have a whole new breed of stupidity developing because of reality TV aka 50 Tyson! This idiot had to have watched Flavor Flav and said if this ugly mofo can do it I can too. I guess we are hosting our own minstrel shows now! I hope they stop and you all LIVE YOUR LIVES. Hide your kids, hide your wife! SMDH

Stay Tuned!

  3. These shows are only as successful as the people watching them.

  4. These shows mimic what our society are becoming as a whole. Trained, misled, and mindless. As i mentioned I have watched some reality shows. I have not however enabled those shows in no way influence me or my thoughts on REAL LIFE. I think people take the REALITY in the title and use is to defend the premise that the shows are real. They are not what I consider Real because in similar situations in LIFE all of the instances we are viewing would definitely have different outcomes or effects
