So why are they; the writers and producers, getting so much money for the crap that's already coming to the small screen.

I was watching ABC and NBC last night and they had a commercial about their up coming fall line up. There seems to be more drama and comedy and less reality. Maybe they heard you SeriousSigma22 ?

I don't watch that much TV except certain movies or shows but I was talking last night with one of my girlfriends and she says that she thinks these reality shows are evil and have a satanic nature about them. I didn't know what she really meant until she explained it. Does anyone else feel that way? That people are willing to do anything even if it DEMEANS them just for a little money or fame.

We talked about the Weakest Link which is one show I have watched. We both agreed that it was a really negative, evil-based show thats a put-down. What happened to the nice game-shows when you lost and the host would hug you and say we have some nice parting gifts for you, etc. With this show you just get the boot and basically called a dummy for missing the answers. Recently, I have started watching old re-runs of game shows on a cable channel.

I am not a fan or anything, but I think that there is supposed to be one that is filmed at Southern U and the pilot is supposed to come on in July or something. Has anyone heard about that one? I usually don't watch them, but I was really surprised that BET was getting into the game...

What if one of your relatives was on one of these shows? Would you tell your friends about it if one of your siblings/cousins was on the real world or something?? Or would you keep quiet and hope folks don't ask about similarities in name or appearance?

It would not bother me if a relative was on one of these shows. I wouldn't hide it, unless he, or she, was acting VERY obnoxious. And I do have relatives that fall into that category......

Sorhors and friends,

In my humble opinion all reality shows bite! I hate every last one and you see how boring NBC is for the summer. I will be glad when their stupid popularity fades off into the sunset.

I'm mad and I don't want to take it anymore. Sorry for the setback but I just had to get that off my chest. I'm so glad that I have the dish!!

I'm just a bit upset with the networks because the major networks have too many reality series on and I would just like to see a decent sitcom once in a while. Even though I enjoy my detective drama shows there are way too many of them airing as well. Can't a sista just watch an half hour of mindless comedies? I know that ABC and CBS are trying but their shows are boring. I'm sorry but I don't like my "Wife and Kids" or Everybody Loves that @##hole Raymond." I just need to do some venting and now I much better.

ROTFLMAO!!! SeriousSigma, you keep me laughing. For some reason, I don't find a lot of the so-called comedies they have on t.v now funny at all. Now what would be interesting is if BET had their own version of Real World that followed the lives of 7 college students. That's something I could relate to.

i know we love to hate the vast majority of reality shows these days, but has anybody been watching "MAKING THE BAND" on MTV with puffy? that is some off the chain stuff, the way he's been hazing those children...
BUT they actually have a single on the BAD BOYS II soundtrack and even though puffy is an arrogant little somebody and he is really putting those kids out there because he knows they are hungry for a chance... he got 'em sounding like TIGHT WORK!
