Reality TV

Watching reality TV is the same principle as when you are driving down the street and you just can't help staring at the car wreck. Eventually people become desensitized to it however. These shows only tend to last a few seasons and then someone else comes along and makes a new show. Producers make these ridiculous shows because somebody will watch them, and there are so many to chose from. Shows such as Survivor pit people against others to win a prize, they lie to each other, they make pacts with other team mates or they become genuine friends. Then there are the shows Nanny 911 and the Biggest Looser. At least these shows offer some sort of help to the people on them and the viewer. The most pathetic of all are the many, many shows of washed up old famous people making fools of them selves, Rock of Love, Surreal Life, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Run DMC's Runs House and the list goes on. They are watched because the public wants drama, they want to see other peoples problems so theirs lives don't look so bad. It is easier to make fun of other peoples lives than pick at our own. It is a prime time soap opera, it is a look at others lives.
