reality tv?

reality tv love it or hate it?

[LeMarchand]

HATE IT!!! Puerile rubbish, catering to the lowest possible denominator and encouraging voyeurism. Because it is cheap to produce and (unfortunately) popular, more and more of it is being churned out in favour of quality drama. Grrrr.

If your talking about the likes of big brother, then it's utter crap !!

Love it! Can't live without it! Look forward to the Big Brother season starting and was devastated this year when I went on holiday for the last two weeks and nowhere was showing it! Didn't ever get into Fame Academy though. Love pop idol the auditions are hilarious, do these people actually think they can sing or are they just DESPERATE to get on telly?! Also love Joe Millionaire and the like too. Recent one where a woman had to pick her "true love" out of a pile of geeks was hilarious! Doesn't matter that it's cheaply produced to me, I love it and I hope Big Bro, Pop Idol and the like continue for many years!

I think there's good and bad as in all sorts of T.V.. Think of bad sitcoms, dramas, so called variety shows etc. I do wish, however, that more money was spent on good quality drama instead of the relentless stream of reality progs. but I have to confess I do like BB and wife swap!

I thought TV could sink no lower than makeover shows, then this week I saw "cosmetic surgery live", on channel 5 and witnessed Vanessa Feltz introducing 'live anal bleaching'. The mind boggles...

Its better than most of the rubbish they put on. Its good to see how people react and especially when a few mad ones are involved.

Think it's absolute rubbish. But it appeals to girls more than guys in my humble opinion. And I'm getting older too so maybe that's why I don't like it. Doolallygirl is 21 (I think) and it is obviously aimed at that age group.

Big Brother is the most pointless, thrashed-the-format-to-death rubbish on TV however I thought Hells Kitchen had a purpose in that it showed novices under pressure, having to provide a service and run a business so at least there was an end product and what appeared to be a lot of cameraderie in adversity.

hate big brother but some other non-live stuff is ok like bad boys army for instance. makeover shows ? now they do make me sick to the pit of my stomach

[littleoldme]

Hate it, hate it, hate it - with the venom of a billion puff adders. Grrr.

[jfrog96j]

once used to like it but now it's gone too far!!!

[muttsnuts]

Despise it with a passion. it's not only that it's purlie drivel, It's also the fact that everyone is always talking about it so you can't escape the mind-rotting boredom of it all!

[giraffe_02]

I think some of it is quite entertaining, like Wife Swap and Pop Idol. But I think some take it to far like the reality show that was on about drug addicts trying to get off heroine or summat? I also think that last years Big Brother was the worst one. It's definately gone down hill!!
