Anyone who magnifies the power of a television talk show is very unrealistic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reality TV is sleazy, it is manipulative. It is as momentary as anything in popular culture.
I don't think anyone who runs a TV show would ever say to you, 'I have a grasp on running a TV show.' Maybe that's not true. Maybe there are people that do. I don't know.
The one thing that TV is bad at doing is preaching. There are two extremes, you either turn the people into a punchline or turn them into hero, and both of those things suck, because most people are neither in real life.
When I go on 'The View,' or any of those talk shows, you really don't get to say what you want to say.
Television has tremendous power over our lives.
It's better if you have a strong opinion on any talk show.
I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.
Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.
I think you can make perfectly good television just from people who are genuinely interested, talking to people who genuinely know - simple as it sounds, it can be riveting.
I think reality television is such a special talent.
