because they are attempting to fill the holes in their own lives by "living" out other people's lives in their minds (by watching them on tv).

...or something like that... :P

As god-awful as most of them are, there is the rare sprinkling of shows that do NOT feature people suffering and offer something interesting... right now, a good example is The Apprentice. However, most Reality shows are, simply awful. Ahem..

Survivor (Like, 12)
Big Brother
American Idol
Fear Factor (I can FEEL my brain cells dying!)

Reality TV just focuses on what grabs the people's attention, I believe. The producers like because you don't need to hire a cast, storywriters, etc. Take a look at this quote from Pat Loud, who was on An American Family, the first reality show, aired in 1973:

Quote:It seemed that the entire series was all about Lance being homosexual and my husband and I divorcing... My other four children and their friends seemed to be of no real interest to the editors.

The audiences were shocked by the family's behavior becuase even though they had it made for them like on other TV shows, their behavior was very different... I think people like reality TV becuase they like to ridicule people for doing things that they "don't accept" even though they may be doing it themselves.

Some Reality TV shows are staged... like the sureal life.. you can tell that most parts are planed out... In a personal interview with one of the stars of the show they have admited to playing along with being sexualy attracted to one another just to get a publicity boost... its a bunch of acting... I don't like reality TV. a lot of it is staged with distroys the reality in it.... i'm fine watchin porn... thx

Reality TV sucks.

I hate god, but I hate 'reality' tv shows too. And lets not get it wrong there is nothing real about reality tv shows other than the people in them.

I read a pretty good write up on reality tV over at Infox.net.au for anyone who is interested in why it is so popular. The sites pretty crappy but still interesting.

I hate those shows.. they are really getting on my nerves.. I mean.. simple life 1 and 2.. those two are getting paid to do what they're best at.. being dumb. it's pathetic what this has come to. where did the good tv go?.. where did the good music go?.. where did the intelectual celebrities go.. HELL, where did human morality go.. seems like corruption and stupidity is whats really making money
