"Reality TV" shows

[bk42261]

i only watch Network Tv for NFL games, and every time I do, I'm amazed at how much of this **** is still there.
I can't imagine wasting my time with this drivel...

I watch a lot of the "Reality shows". I like Life below zero, Booked, first day in, Mountain Men, Interrogation raw, live PD and others. I quit watching the obviously scripted nonsense like Duck Dynesty, Pickers and Pawn Stars.

Every gun program the history channel aired were frauds. Just about the equal of Jerry Springer with Guns. I loved Pawn Stars when their policy was if antique gun could fire they would by it. Their experts are also a fraud.

the last reality show I watched and enjoyed was the Gong Show....

My reality show is at the gun club. It's gotta be real; you just can't make it up!

We watched Alone but after it became obvious that it was just a starving contest we quit watching.

One of the contestants (Jordan Jonas) is active on social media, he says they "misrepresented" him on his season. I watched the season and they made it sound like he was within days of starving to death and he said when they came to tell him that he won he still had 300 lb of meat left.

My wife watches cooking shows. There's a channel that plays almost exclusively Tom Selleck westerns that were made from Louis L'Amour books I watch that

I rue the day that MTV came out with "The Real World" and started all of the airwaves/cable signals on the downward slide known as "reality TV". I also miss the days when MTV did just that, play music.

I don't watch a lot of tv, I live in reality every day.

I refuse to pay for cable tv, all a bunch of made up garbage. Have a OTA antenna and get news( very few I watch) and a lot of old tv shows from 50s-70s, good enough for me ,oh and there is the “ weather guessers” channel too.

What could be better entertainment than shows like :
1000-lb Sisters

I haven’t watched network TV since 2008. I never watched much TV anyway. I would like to find a news station that reports the news, period.
You can watch things in real time on Cspan then flip to News on major network and get 18o degree off from actual

Nothing is more scripted than a dang professional sports game. How a 60-minute game can stretch out to 3-1/2 hours is beyond me.

Dr. Pol and Dr. Oakley are about it. For sheer weirdness, Dr. Pimple Popper fills the bill.

There is a news program I have watched a few times on the internet called “Just The News “ that seems to be halfway decent.

 

[The Last Standing Knight]

The so-called "reality" (and I use that term VERY loosely) shows I have seen make Jerry Springer look like Masterpiece Theatre.

I have to put up with weird and abnormal stuff at work but at least I get paid for it there.

I do NOT want to watch it on TV when I come home.

Back in the 1950's when TV was live it was called "The Vast Wasteland" Time has not improved it any.

They used to stretch them out so that they could sell advertising time. That was bad enough but now it's that and to give people time to get their Fan Duel bets in. Professional sports has been prostituted beyond recognition. Now they are working on college sports. And if they get their way, you will be able to gamble on your kids little league game.

Any "reality" show where they are fixing things and using tools will get my limited attention. I like The Last Alaskans. For some reason, those people seem genuine to me. Sometimes I have the one where the wreckers are cleaning up tractor trailer accidents playing in the background while I'm working on the computer. I can't think of the name of it. For some reason it seems calming to me.

You can't get away from the commercials for reality shows no matter what you are watching. Each one of them makes me shed a tear for the future.

 

[Roofuss]

Television programing today for the most part, is total **** .More commercials than actual programs .
Don't watch much tv anymore , except the oldie western and comedy shows, some sports, and "local news" only.
Pretty much the same thing goes with movies as well. Been 10 years or more since I went to the movie theater, and don't think I missed much, lol !

I don't care much for reality these days . . . why would I want to watch a show about it ?
