I never liked the idea of reality shows...I mean, you're sittin there watching people get rich for doing really stupid stuff. It's no better than Jackass. I mean, why sit and watch people get rich? It's near pointless....kewl post.  Needed to rant a lil bit.   |

The very fact that it is on television only serves to prove that people have nothing better to do. Jerry Springer type shows are the worst, for example, yet it seems that people always want to slow down and "Rubberneck" while traveling on the freeway whenever there is a bad accident. It's not reality, but rather insanity.  |

Hey Larry makes an excellent point. Jerry Springer type shows are terrible. |

My brother told me there is another reality tv show that is going to air on fox. It is going to be like "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire" The cathch is that the guy only makes about $20,000 dollars a year but the women competing for his affection don't know this. They are supposed to find out at the end of the show. I guess they want to see if the fact that he is not rich will make them change their mind. It sounds hilarious!!!  |

Things have changed so much in the past several years and I worry about how much it takes now to shock people.  |

Space Case, you're talking about Joe Millionaire, but yes, it's gonna be great. Anyway, I see nothing wrong with Extreme Makeover. Anytime you feel like it, flip on the Learning Channel and you can watch someone getting surgery. People do it everyday, they just happened to bring along a camera this time.  |

reality TV is where you take people and throw them into a situation and the studios/networks pay for it.. while a documantary is documenting something natural what isn't done for ratings and to make money and usually isn't paid for by studios or networks they also don't have dozens fo camera peoplw running around they usually only have 1-2 cameras(i had a documentary class in film school there are differences between a real "documentary" and "reality TV" |

I think they should choose me as the next bachelor. Because I live a pathetic poverty stricken life, I could just see it; 15 women show up at my parents house, and i show them the room I live in with all the black light posters and subway size Hendrix poster above my bed, they ask me where I work and of course I would have to say Jiffy Lube for 7.20 an hour. Then I mention Im 25 I bet they would all be on the next plane back home. It would be pathetic yet entertaining for the home viewer, Im sure some other bacherlors could relate....Andy  |
