Is Reality Television Down in the Dumps?

GirlGoneLeBron: Reality TV has hit an all-time low.
GirlGoneGrady: What do you mean?
GirlGoneLeBron: Well there’s a few things.
GirlGoneLeBron: You know the whole Reality show curse?
GirlGoneGrady: Yeah.
GirlGoneGrady: Couples who go on reality shows end up divorcing a la Jessica and Nick or Carmen and Dave.
GirlGoneLeBron: There’s another casualty.
GirlGoneGrady: Who?
GirlGoneLeBron: The Barkers.

GirlGoneLeBron: Travis Barker from Blink 182 filed for divorce from his wife.
GirlGoneGrady: Ohh another victim.
GirlGoneGrady: The whole showcasing your love on a reality show is clearly just a way to finagle a few extra minutes in your already dimming spotlight.
GirlGoneLeBron: Yes but that’s not the worst of the reality show horrors.
GirlGoneLeBron: Have you ever watched Flavor of Love?
GirlGoneGrady: Unfortunately I have.
GirlGoneLeBron: Did you see the second season premier?
GirlGoneGrady: Not yet.
GirlGoneLeBron: Well here’s a clip for you where one of the girls goes to the bathroom during the middle of the clock ceremony.
GirlGoneGrady: Oh. My. God.
GirlGoneGrady: It’s safe to say that reality TV has gone down the toilet.
GirlGoneLeBron: Then there’s the whole Pants-Off Dance-Off thing.

GirlGoneGrady: Where ordinary people strip to rock music?
GirlGoneGrady: Any show that has the ex-meth addict Stephanie Tanner as the host is all right in my book.
GirlGoneGrady: How can that not be awesome?
GirlGoneLeBron: Uggh.
GirlGoneLeBron: Clearly we've flushed our college educations down the toilet.

I hope that reality TV is down in the "dumps". I am SICK of reality TV. There are so many good TV shows that could be aired in their place. I rarely watch the big 3 channels anymore because they have so many reality programs which are so much hype and completely boring. Why not use that time to educate the public on issues around the world that show the good aspects of humanity and not focus just on the wars, poverty, hunger, illness, etc. Although, those are seriously important issues, when I get home from work in the evening, after a day of dealing with serious issues all day, I would like to think that I could chose to watch a fun and/or inspiring program about the "REAL" world that we all live in. Take the crappy, hyped up, phony, "reality" programs and put them where they will be useful - in a garbage bin.

The people who run this website have gone to college? And one of them thinks they've wasted it? I agree. Fuck anyone who comes here a lot.
