Television has gone beyond it limits.

There are many and many programs coming with the name of reality shows just the theme varies as we have singing reality shows, dancing and many more... Well reality shows can get worst some time and some time then bring happiness.

Do you watch reality shows on TV ?

Reality shows need to give it a rest, they've gone too far. I like to watch the one where the nanny comes to the house because I've gotten some good tips there but the whole Survivor and bachelor/ette shows are too much.

I do like the ones on BBC called You are What you eat and clean house because they are full of information.

I think reality shows are a waste of time to watch. Except maybe some that are pretty entertaining. You organize an event, you find participants and then you film them - you get a reality show. The 'fun' part must be when watching how the participants react to the challenges but it's still boring to me. I find girls are more attracted to reality shows.

Some are so horrible. I hate the "marriage" ones, they are so shallow and they really demean the beauty of a blooming relationship. I mean, no one ever stays together. And they keep getting worst, like Flavor or Love, Rock of Love. And then spin offs.

I'm fine with talent based shows, though they seem to be reproducing, so it's getting boring. And I like reality shows with a point (Celebrity Rehab, Celebrity Fit Club, ect.), but these horrible, sex filled dating shows need to go. I swear I have gotten VD from the commercials alone.

The Indian audience these days are seeing lots and lots of reality shows on television. The number of entertaining channels have increased in the last few years and so have the reality shows on each of them.

On Indian television, the reality shows mainly revolve around the song and dance theme....

One gets to see at least one such show running on some time or the other..everyday on most of the channels. Hence, it is obvious that the audience have now really got bored of these theme....

I am though..right now hooked to one of them...named BIG BOSS 2....which is the Indian version of Big Brother !!!

Regards,

Walker

Yes, I am watching reality shows on TV
I am living in Israel and recently these Tv series take control on the TV channels and probably on our lives.
But I won't lie to you. I love to watch these reality programs, specially "The big brother" show that recently came to Israel too.

I love the reality shows, Survivor is my top pick.

they have so many of them now that it's hard to choose which ones of quality you want to enjoy. some of them are pretty stupid though like the Charm School , and the guy who teaches the guys to be pickup artists. That one is pretty hilarious to watch I'd hate to be one of those guys and be on tv where the whole world is seeing how stupid I am to be able to pick up partners from the opposite sex.

I love watching reality shows. I find reality shows entertaining and it provides a much personal touch as compared to scripted dramas or programs. Its fun to see how people react under certain circumstances and how they deal with different situations. We may be able to learn some useful information and knowledge from reality shows too.

Reality shows are by far worth watching than those regular TV series such as drama and movies. They actually show and package the worth and talents a particular contestant have and how it differs with that of the rest. It showcases the ability and what an individual can make or can have out of it. A winner for instance, can get a price for winning a certain category: singing, dancing, acting, few to mention. In the same manner a viewer can learn from what he's watching. Hints for singing, steps for dancing, tips for acting. Unlike the regular drama or movie, he can get nothing but merely idolizing actors and actresses.

The reality shows nowadays aired on television are really pathetic. everything is scripted beforehand. the judges and the participants are just actors of the show to perform. if one show gets popular several reality shows are copied on the same theme .

I don't mind the reality shows that are harmless. American Idol, Top chef, Dancing with the stars: these are all just fine. They are entertaining and don't hurt anyone in the process. The shows I can do with out are the ones that pit people against each other and encourage maliciousness- shows like survivor.

I also can't stand the talk shows that exploit people's problems. How many more "help me find out who my baby dady is" episodes does Maury have to air?

I hate to admit, but when I am alone I secretly watch reality shows. Whether on VH1 or MTV I will watch. I don't know why but for some reason I feel like I have to know what's going on The Hills and why Spencer and Heidi are fighting this time. Also I want to know which one of LC's friend is arguing with her. However Paris Hilton's My New BFF is got to be one of the worst shows ever I mean really that was totally fake!

many people think that reality shows are not real anymore
they are just shown to increase the TRP of the channel
but even i oppose this thing because the participants of the reality shows are real according to me. they come from different parts of the country and sometimes different parts of the world also just to perform or show their talent
so i would advise people not to think that these are fake

Yes, i do watch reality shows on Tv as they are great fun to watch. The controversies which develop as the show progresses are the most interesting part of the show.
The reality show or any show for that matter are here to make money and they are doing it

I have to confess i am hopelessly addicted to reality shows.
My favorite being Hells kitchen , Americas next top model and project runway. (I am a girl )
However I think so many reality shows go really overboard in insulting the contestants. One such example is 'The moment of truth'. Bottom of the barrel really.

Just like most everything else, I love some, hate some. I'm not into reality shows such as Survivor, The Bachelor(ette), Flavor of Love, etc but, on occassion, you will find me watching Hell's Kitchen, Supernanny, Fear Factor (although F.F. is gone now) and so on. I think, of the ones I like, it's the lure of someone arguing it out, eating grotesque things or completely "losing it" altogether that keeps me watching. I don't know why, but somehow, someway, these 'publicized doings' crack me up.
