...per season.

I'm sick of these reality shows! All I ever watch now is 24 on FOX and the rest of the time I watch Discovery Channel. That's it. All these new shows are just horrible and make you want to kill people! I mean, plastic surgery? babies? WTF is all this?! It was a good idea when it first came out...okay not really..but now it's just out of hand. Agreed?

I'm with you all the way! Reality Shows are stupid as hell. What the hell are they trying to do, just make the losers feel worse? I mean, and I quote:

I'm personally starting to get sick of listening to people complain about reality TV. You know that Reality Television has really gone on for far too long when people complaining about begins to annoy you too.

I just think those "talent shows" are really pathetic, I mean, it's almost as if the Pop Media is lacking brainwashed tartists to flood the radio with, so instead they offer contests to "become a star".

Tell me, what makes them so much better than the guy who's been playing in pubs and venues for 7 years before breaking through? Nothing.

The advantage is is that you can 'borrow' movies for long amounts of time without him remembering that you borrowed them.

The disadvantage is the pizza cheese grime on the DVDs

I occaisionally watch American Idol and was genuinely sad when John Stevens got booted (though I saw it coming from a long ways away). American Idol can be fun sometimes.. and Simon always says exactly what I'm thinking... Other than that, I only watch Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien... (And occaisionally Carson Daly, though he annoys the tar out of me, so usually I only watch it if I'm too tired to get up and turn the tv off after Conan's over...

The only reality TV I've ever liked is Mad Mad House.

That was a pretty cool show, I think.

The only series i even pay attention to (most of the time) is "The Restaurant". Apart from that, i watch "American Idol" for the first few episodes just to see people screw up, and then get the hell out of there. As far as everything else, i have it all, the way SAJN_Master hates tics!!!

We get what Americans were watching 12-16 months ago, with a liberal dose of Aussie soapies and football thrown in.
