Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.

Reality TV is anything but.

I have a thing against reality shows. I think they are so fake. I think they are produced before they begin. I think people know where they're going, what they're going to say, what the situation is. These things just don't happen and you know that.

Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.

I think the reality-show format is brilliant, has endless possibilities. It's documentary! But unfortunately, it's rarely executed well. So it becomes just a scripted show, but without actors.

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.

Most 'reality' shows aren't reality at all. They're game shows with no prize. Like 'Rock of Love.' His aren't genuine feelings. Then again, Bob Barker didn't really care whether or not you won the toaster. Sorry to shatter everyone's dreams.

I hate reality shows that are not reality.

I've never seen a reality show. I don't watch television.

Reality shows serve up juicy drama out of human shortcomings.
