Reality TV

Reality TV

Reality TV is definitely NOT my thing. I've watched many reality TV shows, in attempts to get hooked on them, but I've never finished one. I suppose you can say I dislike reality TV shows, but only because it isn't “reality”. Mostly every thing that happens in those TV shows just isn't real. It can't be. How can so much drama happen in these peoples lives? It just isn't possible. I think I might shoot myself if something dramatic happened every single week or two, but hey I can be wrong. For all I know there IS that much drama in their lives. They do have a lot more money than I do at the time, and maybe drama comes with money like toys come with Happy Meals. Regardless of whether they're real or not, I dislike them. I don't hate them though, and I doubt it's harming our society much. The only thing reality TV is most likely doing is fooling people in believing that the lives they see is better than theirs, but in most cases it isn't any better. In terms of actually harming society I doubt it. I honestly think it's somewhere in the middle between harm and benefit, almost like it doesn't even exist. Like I said before I dislike reality TV, but I don't hate it. It's always hilarious to hear what some of the people or “actors” have to say about something or someone. The opinions and thoughts of some of these people are just hilarious. I used to avoid them all together, but that changed thanks to my mom. In the past, I would hate it when my sister changed the channel to her lame reality TV shows, and since then I always assumed that pretty much all other reality TV shows were just as much crap. This all changed when my mom started to watch Little People Big Planet, or World, I can never remember whether its planet or world. It's one of those two for sure; 98% sure. Anyways, that reality TV show isn't half bad. I almost kind of sort of like it. What happens to those “little people” is believable, and it makes me want to believe that what happens in reality TV shows is actually real. However, It isn't that easy to change my opinion. I continue to think that everything that happens in reality TV shows is on a script and is acted out. This is only my opinion of course, I have nothing against people who think otherwise. I'm going to stick to the drama shows I love so much, but I haven't necessarily given up on reality TV shows. Little People Big Word/Planet gives me some hope for that type of entertainment. Maybe one of these days I'll sit down on my couch with my mom and watch an entire episode for once. Regardless, that show lets me see a light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope its not a train.
