Reality Television

Reality television has been around for several years. Some reality television is fun to watch such as the Real World Road Rules Challenges and a new show they had on MTV, called From G's to Gents and the reality show I Love Money on VH1. Next and Parental Control are usually pretty interesting because in Next the daters sometimes get rejected right away and it is always fun to watch either a male or female dump their significant other after their parents set them up on blind dates on the show Parental Control. The fact that the children let their parents pick dates for them in the first place is hilarious all by itself.
Some shows, however; are just pointless. The Cho Show, I Love New York, Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and Tila Tequila are just publicity shows to get people noticed or dating shows. Who wants to find a date on television? Now there is even a new show for Paris Hilton, called My New BFF. No one wants to watch that show. No one cared about the Simple Life so why care about this show?
The same goes for Brooke Hogan Knows Best. Why watch Brooke Hogan's life on television? I really don't want to see Hulk Hogan's daughter and her friends go out and party or shopping or whatever it is that they do.
Here's a question for you: do you dig or diss reality shows and why?

personly i think there are no show such as "reality show" i highly doubt the network is paying million of money to let normal persons do whatever they want to do. yes it is real people who is just like me and you or some celebrity going wild. but my point is that in somewhere, the network has to be controlling these reality TV show, its story line, and how dramas unfold. you have to remember it is a business, and they will not do it if they have no idea what is going to happen next.
but you are right on the point when you said there are some reality shows which are great success and others are not so much. i don't know what makes these difference but i am very certain that i am not going to watch paris TV show anymore. i mean i watched the sex tape of paris, and that wasn't that good anyway. and i think that was as real as it can be if you ask me.
