Crapola TV

[annuin]

Reality tv has always been mostly idiotic, insipid and profoundly boring, but how bad does it really need to get before they stop making it, and before people stop watching?

They're really scraping the barrel nowadays with Trailer Trash Barbie Britney and her Ken-doll Kevin, and that idiotic new show on Bravo, Being Bobby Brown. You don't even need to see that show, the ads for it already indicate how crap it is, with Whitney Houston and her hubby being obnoxious snots whilst splurging craploads of money at Harrods in London, or Bobby asking people if they know who he is (on several different episodes I might add, not just the once), and him eventually having to explain he's Whitney Houston's husband. If he has to go around saying that, people obviously don't know him (anymore), and don't give a shit, so why the hell does he have his own tv show? And who the hell wants to watch him? Did they run out of interesting people and celebrities to film?

Ditto that crap called The Surreal Life on VH1, where they have a load of has-been semi-famous people, most often 80s tv and movie rejects, shacking up together and being terminally stupid and boring.

How many more years of ever worsening "reality" tv are we going to get exposed to before it finally goes bust? It can't be that long, can it?




Please?

Oh yay! Is this what Oz has to look forward to in the near future!? I can't stand one second of reality crap tv! It drives me absolutely bonkers. I still can't believe we're airing Big Brother 'Series 5' ... BB2 was bad enough, BB3 was really starting to annoy, but they keep going with more episodes?! I think I'm the only person my age who doesn't watch it or reality crap tv lol.

They're going to be airing Big Brother 6 here soon I believe.

There are so many "reality" shows it's ridiculous. Celebrity weight loss shows, weight loss shows, shows where they stick a load of extreme martial arts fighters together to live and train who then have to beat each other up in order to advance further, Survivor, The Apprentice, The Bachelor/ette, etc. etc. ad nauseum. The vast majority of shows is reality it seems. And they're pretty much all crap.
