Real TV Sitcoms

Yes, I'm on a posting roll, sue me.

Survivor, Big Brother, Who Wants To Marry A Millionairre, the current Fox thang about Alaskan men & those who want to marry, et al.

Does anyone else want to vomit when witnessing these superficial, egocentric people? If you weren't already turned off to the dating scene, these stupid TV shows certainly would make me want to cower in my bedroom closet.

There's obviously too many freaks out there.

I agree!

What happened to all those shows that made us feel good about ourselves?

I guess this is why I don't watch tv anymore & spend all my time here....

The point is that it's perpetuating a belief that you must be "all that" in order to be accepted as a sexual, loving person.

How horrible would it be to be "voted out" of a dating contest based upon some other chick that some guy knew for 48 hrs? Jesus Christ! I'd be running to my local cosmetic surgeon, wouldn't you?

Thank GOD I'm over 30 and I don't have to worry about that shit unless I want it for MYSELF. jesus.

1) The only real TV series that I like is the one that alot of them originated from............."Real World" on MTV. There's no winners or losers at the end of the season and you get to see exactly what goes on in the lives of these 7 people, both personal and series incidents.

2) When I'm off from work and able, I like to watch "The Osbornes". I think the show's ratings are high because it's kinda funny listening to Ozzy talk. He always looks and sounds loaded.

3) I also like "Tough Enough". At the end of the season, at least the winners win a career and not a couple of millions, despite the fact that the last season finale was quite controversial.

But all and all, I'm getting pretty sick of NEW Real TV crap that's coming up every season.

Real TV, quite simply blows goats.

its a way for the networks to get out of having to pay actors and therefore ending up with a relatively cheap show to make and fill up another 45mins (less ads) on the nightly time slots.

If the US version of Big Brother is anything at all like ours, i bet you wish they could put some in the house who would just slap them all around the heads a few times.

Personally, for the Australian one, I would like to see Chopper Reid in the house .... for the US, maybe Charles Manson (if he was still alive).

I am generally a fairly tolerant person but with the idiots we have...... ARG!!!!!

Why's it always Alaskan men looking for wives?

Why not Maine men or Florida fellas? I live in Alaska and have visited most of the areas of this state. Believe me, there seem to be plenty of women to go around. But I suppose Fox needs to sensationalize to get the ratings it wants.

I'm not a huge fan of the reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother, but I've gotten into them at times. I differentiate between them and Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire because Survivor and Big Brother aren't just beauty contests - it takes some strategy and wits to stick around. OK...I'm still pissed that Sarah Jones (Lazyass girl with fake boobs) was kicked off so soon on the last Survivor because she's a local girl (and she filled out that bikini top so very well).

I guess enough people, me included, enjoy watching these egotistical, superficial people judge each other, just like we are judging them.

The shows I can't tolerate are the Jerry Springer & Judge Judy types. What a waste of my satellite bandwidth that is.
