Favorite Reality TV Series

darkshadow2247 · 05-25-2006, 04:13 AM

its obvious that every sit in a sitcom has been overly-used. so reality has taken over. what's your favorite reality series?

I abhor reality TV, although I did actually like the first season of American Idol.

Edit: And if if counts, 'Drawn Together'.

None.

Spiff · 05-25-2006, 11:06 AM

If you could call it a reality series, I like "Deal or No Deal".

Arkacia · 05-25-2006, 10:04 PM

None. They are all crap.

The only one I watched that had any kind of respectability about it was a spy school one I watched recently, that was made in the UK. It followed a group of people who wanted to be spys and were going through a kind of spy school. At the end of each episode, the "teachers" sent the worst performer home. At least the contestants were decent people, and not moronic idiots like those in big brother, idol and survivor.

Idol makes me laugh actually. Fans spit and scream when their favorite is kicked off the show, not realising it doesn't matter one zot who they vote for. The winner will be the person the record companies decide will sell the most records. The public voting is a big con designed to keep people watching, ratings high, and build an early fan base for the winner to make money.

Big brother is just plain the biggest load of crap I've ever tried to watch (lasted about 20 minutes). That show is made to appeal to 13 year old girls, how anyone more mature could find anything good about it is beyond me.

Now that I thought about, "COPS" is the best reality show.

now that you mention it. COPS is a reality show. and it really doesn beat the brakes off any other reality show

I forgot about Cops, and it was a good show. Just got a bit boring after a while. There is only so many ways a person can be arrested, and with the police following set guidelines, they did all start to look the same after a while.

Another good type of reality shows are the ER ones, where they film real life situations people end up in casualty wards for. They are interesting too. I saw one where a guy in America fell onto a small bush, and ended up with a bit of wood that went up his rear end (believe me, it may sound funny, but wasn't) and protruded about 6 inches into his abdomen. How he survived that, and the stick missed all his vital organs was amazing. They showed the op where it was removed.

For me big brother is the one which keeps me entertained during the summer months. I know the housemates are a bunch of freekazoids but it is funny to watch them.l

My second favourite realtiy show is 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.
