Reality T.V.

[Annette]

Reality television shows are sometimes very scripted but even so, the people seem more realistic than "family shows" that are supposed to depict real communication between people.

Just now, I heard a conversation on the tv and I thought ..
"if two people acted like that in real life someone would get a net!

I don't know WHO talks or acts the way TV tries to show us they do?
Maybe that is the reason for the popularity of the "reality show"?

I watch Simple Life but I think it is scripted.
I love The Girls Next Door!
Has anyone seen Surreal Life?

My favorite episodes are with Eric Estrada, Vanilla Ice, Ron Jeremy & Tammy Faye (Baker) Messinger.
The ones with Brigette Neilson were fun too.

As outrageous as it is
it is more like [MY] real life than any
supposedly "regular" depiction of people I see on TV. lately.

old timey TV seemed more realistic.
the people were more believable, even likelable.
Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, even Ally Mc Beal was more real than most tv characters.

people who act like in reality tv shows exist.
i see them in youtube sometimes.
the more stupid ones.

those sites that let you download old shows, see if you can find The Surreal Life with Tammy Faye Messinger and Vanilla Ice and Ron Jeremy
those shows with that group were pretty funny and maybe more 'real'
if you don't know who she is, Tammy Faye died about a week ago, her interview was on CNN larry King show.
ron was a porn star. I have him on a tape, sucking his own, it is so long!
the house mates of surreal life are actors so they are hamming it up but outside of the Osbournes' the other 'reality shows' are a poor copy.
simple life and bad girls I watch but I dont save the tapes.
I like E! network's "Talk Soup" with Joel Mc Hale, he cuts up on them all!
by the way, the real reality tv is on the news!
lindsay lohan's car was found after she wrecked it and left the scene. they found cocaine and stuff
she should be in jail way before paris!
lindsay checked her self into a rehab and they have not yet pressed charges!
that is some bull fucking shit!
she was chasing another woman down in her car, the woman is caught on tape leaving the scene {thank the paparazzi for that one
It is surreal.
the paparazzi are filming these people, drunk behind the wheel, the cops are letting it fo on and there is money being made from it on tv and internet.
last night's news reported over 8 million hits to the web site for lindsay lohan
IT WASN'T ME!
what I'm interested in is the public awareness of the judicial system!
from rodney king's verdict and the ensuing riots to the oj debacle that reared it's ugly head recently when his book and tv movie were cancelled by Fox's parent co. news corp.
there was public outcry not to air oj's confession titled "If I did it"..this is how I'd do it"
our (in)Justice system is coming to the public eye.
I hope exposure will mean the end to the current system.
