So I’ve been thinking and I
really want to start watching less TV.
What gets me are those cheesy reality shows, I can’t get enough. So I figure if I stomp out at least one
category of television, then I’ll definitely be able to cut back. I can’t understand why they’re so addictive,
I mean honestly, what’s the point. It’s
just hours on hours of cameras trying to catch any drama, any fight or love
connection. Yeah, I guess it’s
entertaining, but I can’t think of a better way to waste my time.
I’m the type of person that
actually sticks to my resolutions, so I’ll definitely have a hard upcoming
year. I do need to catch up on my
sitcoms and news watching, but reality TV is actually addictive. And it’s so racy, it’s like all you have to
do to be on reality television is be scandalous and willing to expose yourself
because as they say, sex sells!

I never watch them, they make me puke, especially American Idol or whatever it is. |
The more reality shows that come out, the more boring they get. You would think that people would be sick of them by now, but they are still getting incredible ratings. I have a sinking feeling it is only going to get worse because of the Writers Strike going on. The best thing to do would be to just turn your television off, because almost everywhere you look, there is going to be some sort of reality show.
I've never really liked "reality shows" all that much. To me, they're about as "real" as Pamela Anderson's breasts, and they're the TV equivalent of watching a car accident or, worse, snooping on your neighbors while they make love.
The networks love them because they are inexpensive to produce and don't require scripts. That's why so many are bought by ABC, CBS and the other alphabet soup companies that control cable and broadcast channels.
