Gogeta-sama Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 what is up with those stupid shows on TV that don't make any sense? you know the ones i am talking about and sadly for some reason most of you proabably love them and watch them everyday. shows like the real world, survivor, big brother, fear, fear factor, and temptation island which i might add is the stupidest of the bunch. "oh let's get a bunch of happy couples half way into their relationships and seperate them onto islands and have a bunch of sexy people try to seduce all of them and see what happens." well gee considering they are getting americans who have the highest devorse percentage in the world, i am thinking that none of them are going to stay faithful. a moment of crying is going to occure where the other person in the relationship just says screw it and has sex with a complete stranger....hmm, sounds like a winner. its funny to see the women start crying but yet they did the same exact thing! it makes no sense! the other get the same but shorter treatment. the real world is just fake with 10 people chosen to live in a big azz house for free and not expect to do anything but argue. boy scout camp is more challenging than survivor. big brother is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. going to your backyard shed at 10 o'clock at night is scarier then the trials the people perform on fear. and fear factor has nothing to do with anyone's fear unless their lives are full of every day fears like jumping off a building, eating cow brains, or grabbing a message in front of a car suspended 50 feet off the airm but dont worry you are completly safe during every single stunt. of course eating brains may make you throw-up but hey, its what you gotta do if you want to conquer your fears. if it actually had people with actual fobias then it would be interested but then again, they arent after real life situations, oh no, the producers are after things that seem daring and stupid! cause isnt that what america is all about? well i am done typing cause just thinking about even more stupid shows is giving me a headache. if you think you know of a stupid show come on down but i know some of you are going to defend your beloved series and i just say what i always do...bring it on.

Armadillomon Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Finally! Someone who agrees with me!!! I've been saying this whole time that Survivor and other reality TV shows are a big waste of time!! However, I have to disagree with you about Fear Factor. I love that show! Another thing. Shows like Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, and other "talk" shows are disgusting and wrong. They should be banned from the airwaves as well. List of Shows that I hate (Even if I haven't seen them) Survivor (All versions) Big Brother (All Versions) Temptation Island (All Versions) Jerry Springer Jenny Jones Maury Whats-his-name South Park Greg the Bunny King of the Hill Earth: Final Conflict Pokémon There are probably other shows, but I really can't think of any right now.

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]Ahh yes, banning. The cause of and solution to all of life's problems. :drunk: I personally think that the idea of reality TV is an oxymoron. I mean...in Survivor, are you ever in danger of dying? Of course not. You're surrounded by camera crews...it's all totally fake. If you got injured, they'd rush you to hospital. So therefore, it's not [i]truly[/i] a survival show. I think that after September 11, people are all too aware of reality and the dangers of the real world. In this context, shows like Survivor look silly and almost offensive in the way they try to portray "real" danger. :rolleyes: [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathKnight Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 [color=crimson]The Real World isnt all that bad really. Heh. But I agree on Survivor, Temptation Island, and etc. Those arent really the highest form of entertainment on TV.... and I cant see how people could like shows like that... -Ken[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transtic Nerve Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Television, like all forms of Entertainment, is purely based on the popular "vote"... Alot of people will have different opinions, but in the end, the more ratings it gets, no matter how dumb or stupid the show is, it's going to stay on TV. The same goes for movies and music.

Fall Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 I think alot of people watch it thinking it's real, like Survivor. ALot of people probably watch that, because they think it's real (like I did at first... :drunk: ) Big Brother is just a plain entertainment show, and people probably watch it because it's entertaining (duh)... and of course, Big Brother Uncut (can't miss that ;)) All the rest of the shows, I've never even heard of.... that's how much I miss T.V.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCBaggee Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 [color=red][size=3]God, I just wish reality tv would end. It's just a bad fad waiting to die...kinda like disco. ;) [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotenksSSJ343 Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 hey don't don't diss the SPONGE SPONGEBOB RULES and all the kids at school think jerry springers great and thats one of the reasons i have a small band of friends because I hate those "reality shows" like those but south park and malcom in the middle (if it is one) is pretty funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imsirion Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Some reality shows are really lame, but I love survivor, The Amazing Race, Fear Factor, and Big Brother was okay. In Survivor, of course its not about real survival, Survivor and Big Brother has to do with human emotions and what those emotions will do to win, and that makes the shows intresting. If Survivor was to be taken literaly, they would give everybody weapons, drop them on an island and say ,"Okay, last one standing wins!" Fear Factor is just plain cool, and The Amazing Race is cool too. My fave teams are Danny and Oswald (the gay guys), there sooo funny, it would be hard not to like them, and the brother and sister team Blake and Paige. Anyways, there are some good shows out there (not much though) why not try them out? p.s. I hate cartoons, ughhhh:toothy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I don't like reality TV, cept for Fear Factor, but I love South Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I don't see how people could like South Park..... I find it completely crap, aswell as it being even more crap with all the swearing and stuff.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddess21 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 [color=orange][B]I think all of those reality shows are stupid too... but they get you hooked. Especially all of the dating shows like "The 5th Wheel" and "Dismissed" and "Shipmates"! But even though they are so stupid and basically make fun of relationships, they are still addictive to watch! It is weird... like, I hate all of them but I watch them all of the time when they are on. The only exception is "Temptation Island" . I have watched that show once and never again. It is so dumb... why would you want to break up perfectly happy couples? And why would you go on that show if you were a good couple in the first place? Also, how could you resist a bunch of sexy guys (or girls) hitting on you?!? It is just not possible! [/B] [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]i think what it comes down to is that people these days are voyeurs. it's kind of sick & perverted, really. people love seeing other people fight & have conflicts. temptation island & jerry springer, etc., are perfect examples. it's just profiting off of other people's pain (when it isn't staged, that is).[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 The show's I cant take the most is Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones and that crap. They think they can figure out problems and get rid of them. But all they do is make people fight even more. The shows I like the most are The Simpsons( Of course), and Whose Line Is It Anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel--Ignition Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 L M, There you go! Perfect point! I would say the same. The only show like those are Real World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Mystical Pan~ Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Lady M., has a great point. It's as if people love looking at people with conflicts and issues as if it takes them away from their own lives and issues they have. Also, I think people don't relaly like to think when watching shows..lol..so that exlpains for shows like Jerry, Surivor, Temtption ISland, etc. There is no real plots and stuff. >< Though, I admit, I like South Park, and Greg the Bunny. :-p And Sacred Warrior, I think "Who's on Line Is It Anways? " is great...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
