Reality TV has had its good times, and a good time for everyone it has been, even for those who don't care for it. Something to rant about, no? The fad is over.... way over these producers greedy minds that they're losing touch with their audience. Even if television moves toward scripted shows, I think there needs to be a balance to how this will undertake. Life in itself is really crazy with the speed of things. How will these producers, that's if they care about their audience's well being, construct shows with more meaning as well as keeping it interesting, exciting, and mindful, possibly to fit in a moral or two into a show?

But to tell you the truth, ALL reality shows have an element that I don't care for, even the new house one... My reaction to them can best be summed up in an image from The Dark Crystal where those creatures sucked the life force out of their victims. In either case, backstabbing or "change my whole life by giving me a new house, face, teeth, body, job, partner"....The producers are STILL sucking emotions and exploiting them for money. I think there should be a real division between real life and TV "life". I am reminded of that old tv series... I think it was called The Millionaire... where the guy handed over a million dollar check to various and sundry people and we got to find out what happened to them..... using FICTION. I could go on and on. I must be turning into an old codger. Silly I pray to God you are right.

Good for you! :P I totally agree; I even posted a similar rant last year. The only reality show I was watching on a regular basis was The Apprentice, and I'm not even watching that anymore. Times, they are a'changin', whether Burnett likes it or not... Hopefully we can go back to the days of quality sitcoms. I haven't seen one of those in years... Brian Wow, you even threw in a trademark symbol. Good for you! :P
