Many think that reality shows are going dead just because a couple of shows like Dancing with the Stars and American Idol have been struggling with their ratings the last few years. Truth is, there are ENDLESS amounts of reality shows on television. I remember a time when their was only a few reality shows: Real World, Road Rules, and Survivor... THAT'S IT!! Now, in 2011, every famous celebrity has their own show. (Paris Hilton, Brett Michaels, the Kardashians, Hugh Hefner, Flavor Flave....) It never ends. Its gone to the point now that MTV, which stands for MUSIC television, is no longer associated with any music at all. It is now only airing TV shows such as the new biggest reality show, Jersey Shore.
In the end, it comes down to what the viewers prefer to watch. For those who like drama, just watch the Housewives of Las Vegas arguing with each other over nonsense. People like to see fights. Who wouldn't want to see two buff guidos fighting on the boardwalk of the jersey shore? I know I would. And who wouldn't like to see other people making fools of themselves on American Idol? Once again, guilty!
Reality shows are taking over television and are showing no signs of slowing down. What do you think?

Yes, reality shows are taking over T.V. I sit down and think about the days when MTV played videos all day. There will only be a increase of reality shows. It seems like there are less music videos being produced because it is expensive to make a music video.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody remember TRL(Total Request Live). that's right, it was replaced with GTL(Gym, Tan, and Laundry).
