Sick of this!

I don't watch programs like "The Last Resort" and "The Bachelor", but I have seen enough of their ads to make me vomit

!!!!!!!!!! Are the rest of you guys avoiding these or are you watching with bated breath (or smewhere in between?)

I am easily annoyed by the all of those types of ads. (and many others) I do agree the shows are as nauseating as the ads. I do occasionally watch a reality tv show for sh*ts and giggles and have to admit I am easily entertained by them. (mostly because I watch so little television) I also like to stay on top of what everyone else seems to be talking about, so I will often watch one show out of an entire series.
We cut our television viewing down considerably during nice weather months. Then our tv tuner went on us, as well. *sigh* I'm in no rush to get it repaired, as it has been a wonderful break from tv and all of those ads.
It's comical what is "hot" these days on tv.

Not a fan of any of it--I thought "the Real World" was great in the early '90s, it's been downhill ever since.

I dont watch much reality tv I've found its rather repulsive, last show I saw was with the snakes all over them, that did it for me. It really does make me kind of ill the things people will do for money

It's all stupid. We just got our cable hooked up after 2 years with no TV whatsoever. I'm about ready to call the cable co and tell them where to shove it. I thought the first Survivor was OK- but all this other crap that evolved from it like Fear Factor, Big Brother, Dog Eat Dog, American Idol, give me a break! I don't like to see people to get paid to act like idiots.

I agree, there are TOO many of these shows on now, and some of them seem downright tasteless.

**Jeanna** · 08-28-2002, 12:22 PM

I can't figure what reality these people are living in. I watched Survivor once and thought what is the big deal. The others that have come on are about on the level of Jerry Springer if you ask me.

I think most of the reality based shows are way over the top!! I agree, what reality are they living in??!!! I have been hooked on Big Brother and Survivor since they started, I try to not watch but I end up watching anyway!!

I watch Survivor, The great American Race and now I'm hooked on Meet My Folks....I won't even let myself watch the bachelor shows or big brother and I watched 2 episodes of American idol and forgot all about it.I did see the ending show where the the girl won....

We barely watch tv anymore because out here we only get 2 channels and I'm thankful for that. When we were in the city, I watch one episode and that did me in. Never watched it after that.

**captclearance** · 09-10-2002, 07:55 PM

I don't like them but dh soes. I watch in another room, he doesn't like my shoes either, I have been watching "Walking with dinosaurs" on dicovery and watch Jepordy if I can at 4:30 p.m. No time for much more than that, I sometimes catch 20/20 or 60 minutes, but yes I hate reality TV.......
P.S. I have to say I sometimes watch a reality show late in the night called "MAX X"

**crdurham** · 09-10-2002, 10:17 PM

I don't watch much tv anyway, but I did watch a few of the Meet The Folks...them were so funny! When the guys have to take the lie detector like they don't know...lol....
I watch the Survivor with Big Tom-only because my dad knows him so it was a big small town deal....lol.....
I really think tv has went to far with some of the stuff they put on nowadays.

**bamamomto4** · 09-10-2002, 11:52 PM

Cornelia...I loved Big Tom!! He was such a hoot!!!!

**i.m.cheap** · 09-15-2002, 08:34 PM

Lori, I thought "Walking with Dinosaurs" was so cool! I believe it is available on video for those of you that missed it. Very educational for the kids (and everybody else!).
