Its getting pretty annoying with all these new bull shitty reality shows with judges. What really ticks me off is that out of the 3 one of them acts metrosexual, but odds are he really isnt.
Seriously, why do they keep hosting these pointless shows?
IE- Farmer wants a wife, Doesnt have judges, but is pointless? Celebrity Circus, Beauty and the geek, pointless, America's top model, and its clone "Stylista"
This crap is getting out of hand

Yup... reality tv has been the main reason why there is not much good on tv anymore.
All the prime time hours are filled with pricks doing dumb shit with judges.
Pretty much exploded with the sucess of Survivor (at least in North America). And that show is scripted and edited so much it might as well have been written/scripted w/ actors instead of real people.
Oh well... maybe the general public will take their heads outta their asses and realize that crap is not entertaining.
Like.... The moment of truth... what a stupid show. You know they won't put on a goody twoshoes on the show. It would be pointless.... so they just get the biggest assholes they can find and the answers are the worst ones 99% of the time. Oh joy... not predictable enough for ya?
I hate reality tv.

1) It's not reality TV. Even shows like Big Brother are not "reality", so "talent" shows aren't reality.
2) TV was dead before American Idol. It's the other opiate for the masses. My TV gets turned on for The Simpsons, football, DVDs and Xbox. That's it.

It's as simple as that. My Tv is fine. I can still watch my favorite shows. And what the TV doesn't provide, the internet does.

Sigh... 'reality tv' is a term used to describe shows such as big brother, survivor, etc. This is because they have 'real' people and not actors.
So please...don't argue that it isn't 'reality', which is clearly the answer. It's a term dude... wtf.
ROFL.

Wow, that "Putting you on ignore, I'm done with you." thing really doesn't EVER last, does it? Do I have THAT big a hold on you and your actions?
I wasn't even replying to you, if that's what you think, but damn. You really cannot keep away from me.
To Snowbunz; it's ok. Soon it'll be over and people will stop pretending that they like football.

Way not to respond to anything.
Back on topic before 'someone' derails it.
There are more reality shows on now than ever, which means less timeslots for better shows... which sucks big time. Although, I am still not confident that anything better would fill those slots.. at least it couldn't be worse.

I don't have one of those, but no worries. I just download HD rips of shows that I haven't seen. That way I can download like 6 seasons commercial free and watch them instead of the regular crap.
(mostly shows from hbo, showtime, etc. since I don't get those stations)

ABDC is the only one I actually enjoy.
All the judges are ass-holes. But Mario Lopez does remind me of Seacrest a little.

Yea... Mario is a giant FAIL. So is that chick judge they have on that show. WTF has she ever done?.. release 1 crappy song I think. Either way LilFail or whatever her name is should be booted off that show along with Mario.

No, it's Beauty and the Geek, and I actually like that show, gives me serious luls when they try to do normal people acitvities, like when the geeks tried to MC in front of 3 6 Mafia.
But yeah, there are only a handful of GOOD shows, and since the writers strike, those good shows have gone slightly downhill.
Damn fuckers D=<

MTV was what fucked up TV from the start. Or at least it was the precursor to all of this shit.

I think that is what we are getting at here.... reality tv is not entertainment!
It is quite simply, pure crap!
Gone are the days when people had imaginations, when TV shows had writers, when writers could actually write, etc

American Idol does reruns so theres nothing ever new.
and the regular shows, such as..sex AND the city
i hate that show
the name just makes me hate it even more
and Americas next top model w/e
tyra banks isn't even worth being a model now
everyone looks aneroexic
I don't think the TV is killed... There are still things "worth" watching, or at least things to satisfy the taste of most people... Just watch what you like, and leave the rest...
For every single reality show that is made, there are sure to be tons, and I mean tons, of other shows made as well...
If you can't find anything worth watchning on TV, you either have the wrong channels(or less than 5), or you just weren't made for watching TV in the first place.

Reality shows are what led T.V to its current state. There are stll a few good shows on but for the most part it's crap and then reality shows ( they are lower than shit IMO). I don't even watch T.V anymore I just surf the web.

This season I never watched really watched American Idol (although like others say, the first few weeks of it are funny because there are many that are pretty bad).
The only one that has kept me entertained and I for some reason can watch over and over (not many I like to do that) is America's Best Dance Crew, definitely check it out.
As for that I don't really watch much T.V. anymore, not because it is crappy since there are shows for all kinds of things, just got other things to do.

People are to blame for the state of TV. If they weren't so stupid as to keep giving shit like this airtime, ratings and TV time, they'd learn that it's not what the public want, and stop making them.
