I love Dave.

Reality TV? Meh. I tend to avoid it, but on occasion I've enjoyed things like Top Chef. The ones on the major networks seem really horrible, though.

It's worn out it's welcome with me. I think it is a cool idea, but has become phony, and tends to amplify the worst aspects of human personalities.

I am much more interested in a crafted story, script, dialog. Improvised acting is cool, too, but let's leave it to the pros!

There is a place for reality TV, but I am just bored with it for now.

I love the term "Reality TV".

Talk about an oxymoron. And no, I hate it with a passion.

It's ok for cable networks I guess. But for the main networks I wish they would start to phase them out already.

It´s a waste of time and money and broadcasting space.I´d much rather see re-runs of old TV series or movies, not some people who look like my neighbors or people who are broke or have no class.

That skit sums it up.

I wish the public would all say "reality TV... that's so 00's! rolleyes " and move back towards real programming.

I no longer watch TV and I *love* sitting on my ass doing nothing. It has become that painful.

The one reality show I hate with a passion is, "America's Next Top Model". I know that show gets TONS of love around here, but I personally can't stand that show, with those bitchy, wanna be divas. rolleyes That show should be called "America's Next Top Bitch". lol

I couldn't care less about the so-called stars. I really enjoy the dancing.
It inspired me to sign up for a ballroom dancing class, but the only ones in this area required that you already have a partner. pout

I hardly watch television, and if I do it's probably either National Geographic or Discovery channel.

I really don't care for'reality TV' shows. The only one I actually enjoyed watching was 'The Osbournes' though.

It's all still new to me because they don't have many reality shows here that don't involve farms, vineyards, petting zoos, and moving to places with hot climates. lol

I get tips on what to watch from reading the org, then look the shows up on youtube boxed


So far the only ones I've watched regularly are the Housewives series, and then another one about college prep schools in New York. I actually got into watching kids freak out over exams and charity work for their college applications...it took me back to my younger days boxed

Totally agree, (except I never watched the Osbournes either). I just don't understand the fascination with watching other people's train wreck lives. Why not watch Cops all day/night?

Although originally being from Boston and now living in Dallas, it's hard not to be a sports fan. So I do watch football/baseball etc...when my teams are on the tele.

Other than a few episodes of American Idol when it first came out, I've never watched single minute of any of these shows. Just don't get it....

I don't have a TV anymore. But if I'm honest about it, some of those shows are more entertaining than what people would associate as "quality tv".

I really like Survivor.

Other than that, I really don't watch a lot of reality tv.

Oh.. I do watch DWTS on occasion. In some seasons I'm more invested than others.

There are certain shows I might watch on occasion, but... not a lot.

Ironcially enough, I never watch American Idol. It has never really interested me even though I really love music.

That's ashame that the ballroom dnancing classes that you wanted to take required a partner. sad Not everybody who wants to take lessons has a significant other, spouse, etc.
