Programs always seem to end while they're on a "high", before they peak out. Seinfeld did. I think we may soon be saying goodbye to BB Theory. |
I've always preferred nonfiction books and documentary movies and now watch quite a few reality shows, usually competitive shows or those that highlight people with some type of talent or experience, like the veterinarian shows and Pit Bulls and Parolees. I also enjoy makeover shows, and there are a lot for houses and cars, although I'll admit to only watching the beginning and then skipping to the end to see the transformations.
My current favorites are Masterchef (especially the Junior version), Face Off, SYTYCD and of course a lot of House Hunters. I also watch true crime shows, but only those that focus on the forensics and police work that went into solving a crime, like Homicide Hunter with Joe Kenda. And only if they aren't too gory. The only show I watch that's in the vein of "people living their lives" is the Little Couple, because it's very sweet and their journey has been inspiring. |

I love House Hunters and renovations. AND I like True Crime too. Wasn't thinking but that IS reality TV. |
I like "Cops", "Cold Justice," "Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown," "Property Brothers," and "My Cat From Hell". "Survivor" reminds of my what my workplace is like, so I'm not a fan of "Survivor." I'm not into the singing, dancing, mate finding, bridezilla or wife swapping shows.

Never watched Survivor but do like a lot of HGTV, Ghost Adventures and The Dead Files (I know, I'm weird)...now I'm watching Married at First Sight...total junk but I find it fun. Steve hates reality TV but I will find him watching with me. Sometimes it's just fun to fill your head with something that's fluff....after all, we lead such stressful lives here in TV. It is sooooo hard deciding where to eat or checking that we get the tee time we requested!

But I watch it and my girlfriends watch it. There is something fascinating about the show. I really like the guy who feels responsible for his niece. |
I need to try out for Married at First Sight. My husband proposed the weekend of our blind date and we were married 30 days later. That was 33 years ago. Hope it works.
|
So many characters on TV and families on TV are dysfunctional...that is what makes they interesting to most. Sometimes they act out what may only be a passing thought for the rest of us. Normalcy doesn't attract viewers.

I do like American Pickers and occasionally I watch Shark Tank, but that's it for "reality shows."
|
The only reality TV show I ever watched was The Brady Bunch. I quit watching because it was always Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Reality?
Nothing "real" about reality TV, it's staged to the hilt. But otherwise, it would be pretty boring and filled with goofs. I like Dr. Pol because he and his wife and staff are so genuine. There was also a nifty program about a woman whose young family lived and worked a sheep farm (Shear Madness?), but I haven't seen it since the first season. Does anyone know if it is still around? I still enjoy PBS for it's excellent programming.

My reality favorite would be Judge Judy!
