I HATE reality shows except (I thought ) only one....

American Idol. I like the show's entertaining transition from wannabe jokers to presenting very talented contestants.

Having said that, I'm beginning to get kinda hooked on...... NANNY 911. I watched a couple of episodes and it's much better than I thought.

I too hate Reality TV except for the fact that I pay my bills by making them. I don't really concider Idol a reality show. It's more of a talent contest and I really do enjoy it.

I like American Idol! I also like Extreme Home Makeover. I wouldn't really consider them reality shows. I don't watch the other crap.

The couple of times I've watched the nanny, I just sit there and find myself saying "that kid needs a beating."

My daughters have gotten me hooked on "The Amazing Race".

WTF is the definition of a reality show? Anything that doesn't have professional actors and a script?

I consider non-fiction and "unscripted" as reality. Even though most reality show producers/writers set up the situations that happen on the show.

I like the amazing race, American Idol sucks baows. If it's reality based my wife watches it. TLC is the worst. Once football season is over I know the weekends are gonna suck if Im at home cause it's all TLC all day and night. Gag.

I'm curious, has anyone seen Invasion Iowa on Spike TV? It's the one with William Shatner.

I don't consider them Reality TV but some may. It's a thin line.

BIG_DADDY · 03-31-2005, 11:49 AM

Why would you watch that when you could watch the Ultimate fighter?

bogie · 03-31-2005, 11:59 AM

I'm more of a sit-com watcher myself. I'm going to be sorry when Everybody Loves Raymond ends. I also like Two 1/2 Men. I do like The Contender though.

It's amazing to me how many people have the time to waste watching this garbage.

Scrubs and [surprisingly it looks like] The Office will carry the torch.

I actually know a few of the people on that Turd.

There are 2 camps in the area...........1 who thinks its fabulous, and the other who think Iowans are being portrayed as gullible tards.
