Reality TV is sleazy, it is manipulative. It is as momentary as anything in popular culture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.
Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.
I don't want to be one of those 'hour' guys who is all bitter about reality TV. It's as viable as any other genre - when it's great, it's great. However! Reality does a certain thing. It burns quickly, brightly, and then it burns out. You can't repeat them.
For me, I feel like reality TV is anything but these days.
Reality TV is set up to make people entertaining. A good person with values and principles is not good television.
I don't enjoy reality television at all. I have to say that I get it, though. I watch some of it, and I understand why people enjoy it.
Reality television has borrowed so much from the world of politics, whether it's alliances or voting or the kind of strategizing that's done. Anything like that came from politics well before it came from reality television.
Whenever the subject of doing reality television comes up, I immediately disregard it, because most people don't come off well, and it's embarrassing.
Reality TV is anything but.
There was a time when idealistic folksingers such as myself believed that Reality TV was a programming vogue that would peak and recede, leaving only its hardiest show-offs. Instead, it has metastasized like toxic mold, filling every nook and opening new crannies.
