Today while looking through the comcast guide and seeing what was on the different channels, i saw that out of like 20 channels more than half of the shows were reality shows. Something i have never noticed before is just how present reality shows are, and really what is the point of them all? Or T.V. competitions like it all started with The Real World, American Idol, and Survivor and to think that now how many reality t.v. shows are on television. I tried to find a statistic or some kind of survey online but i couldn't but just to think of ALL the reality t.v. shows that we watch and just how pointless they are and how stupid they are and their concepts for example Fox's "My big fat obnoxious fiance" from 2005 and just what makes me wonder is how this craze got started and how sick and sad it is that we as a country our interested in all these stupid shows. or this picture of fox's stupid idea of anchor woman of a hot shot from L.A. came to a small town to be a reporter. I mean i would love to see the statistic of Fox's and Mtv's reality shows only aired for one season. I know i'm kind of just ranting now but also who watches these shows and why are we so interested in normal people and forced "drama"

Mike/Mark- I couldnt agree more about reality television being overrated. But somehow I always find my self sucked into it. Some I refuse to watch, especially MTV ones. I think its annoying how people will make a tv show about anything. I saw there was a show called "the paper" and comcast info says its a reality show about high school's paper. Is there seriously nothing better to make a show about? I dont see what is appealing about shows like Laguna Beach and Newport Harbor, I mean we all know what is going to happen: someone cheated on thier boyfriend or girlfriend, with thier best friend or somehting like that. and WHY DO WE EVEN CARE? I think its amazing how some people will do anything to be on tv, producers are willing to make a series about nothing and americans are sucked into this show that is about a group of highscholer's drama!
