Is Reality T.V. dumbing down America?

Question

Of course I'm talking about the has been celebrities and rich teen's with their so called drama enduced lives. I'm not talking about nasa tv,doc channel,discovery type programs, just the no brainer mundane horse manure. I mean why not have a reality show with homeless people living in a house and film them trying to better themselves and, who cares about some ho*s getting wasted. Or maybe film some teens trying to survive down in 5th ward Houston I'm sure they got plenty of drama that doesn't need a script or require daddy's money for a new BMW cause the older one has a cracked windshield, sorry I freakin' hate these stupid shows, I remember when MTV actually was a music channel. Any thoughts, ideas?

Answer 1

I hate those dumb reality shows(and I'm a teen). I hate when I try to talk about things I saw on the news and I get blank stares from people who only watch The Hills and Next. The only reality show I'm into is What Not To Wear:)

Though I know plenty of people who watch those and still know what's going on in the world so I think it really just comes down to the individual.

Answer 2

I hate reality shows they bore me, I love watch political stuff like Daily show or colbert report. I live on comedy central. The soup and chelsea lately are good. I am a teenager so its kinda sad that I hate this c**p.

Answer 3

Duh; yea! Like; for sure,eh.

Answer 4

The fact that you actually had to ask this simple question answers it.

Answer 5

I agree.

A lot of reality really makes me cringe. I,as a rule,am slightly afraid of anyone who cites 'I Love New York' as their favorite TV show. Really,it's shows like that that make me wonder where we're going here.Wipeout? Basically a show for anyone who like to laugh at other people get smashed into walls,fall into mud pits,or get punched in the face etc. Maybe it's funny for a second,but after a half and hour of people smashing their faces into things,I get worried.

Also,Baby Borrowers? I cringed just a little bit.
