Yeah, I figured I should do something to entertain Belle to make up for judging her and all....

i didn't watch tv today. the lady vols didn't play. they play next sunday, ... and the game will be telecast. this is of great importance to me. just sharing.
but yeah, i roll like that. i miss days. i don't watch tv every day. i'm out of the loop. i really am. on purpose. i did not even know who the kardashians were until last year. and honey boo boo a couple months ago, ... i've never watched the show. i've never watched survivor. american idol. the voice. etc. the one show that comes to mind that i absolutely dislike watching the advertising for, ... i've never watched the show, ... is dance moms. i'm not a big fan of reality. well, not some one else's reality. especially when they are getting paid for it and my reality is not. so i just lust. i watch what i watch. sometimes it's reality. sometimes it's just dirtysweet. p.s. i just remembered. i did watch frosty the snowman on youtube.

I watch some reality shows as well. But I was referring to those shows that are debasing to someone or a group of someones. HoneyBoo Boo comes to mind immediately. Another one was the Fear Factor. Eating reindeer balls, having 200 spiders crawl all over you. There is an adolescent one (or damn close to it) about some kid who does all these dangerous stunts. Come on. Really? A simple "dont do these at home" isnt enough warning. If he can do it, kids think they can too.
The reality shows I like are Oddities, Storage Wars, and Pawn Stars. I hated Flavor Fav and his campaign to find a GF. But then I detest all the Bachelor, Bachelorette shows. Cattle calls. As does Millionare Matchmaker. Its not any different just because the featured person is privelaged with money. television is a main tool of socialization, and it does pass along a culture's beliefs and values, and therefor can and does create new ones. Dont think so? Think of Jennifer Aniston's haircuts. On a deeper level, Ellen D's bookstore sitcom changed our culture forever. Why do you think there were/are so many groups opposed to allowing homosexuality on tv? Because once its on there as an approved and accepted lifestyle, its only a matter of time before it becomes an entrenched cultural value.

Except Judge Judy. I join the bandwagon for her. She tells it how it is, so her style of reality TV is more like a reality check on TV. Quote:

I was influenced by a lot of television shows from the 70s and 80s. And games shows of the past.... The gong show, the Dating Game, Hollywood Squares....Embarrassing? Debasing? Influential? All reality Shows in a sense. People getting on television for their 15 minutes of fame and saying and doing whatever would keep them there. (I loved Hollywood Squares because of the racy chatter of the "squares".) And talk about racy, what about the Newlywed Game? Yowza |

And Gemme, you know me too well. I will topstay on the planned show for the lanetplay. I loved Lucy. Ha. But i did. I can be her at times, ok more than times, i am her a lot, so i'm told. More than once. As we know, there is a whole thread or two on the June Cleaver shows and how they affected us. Did anyone ever watch Dark Shadows? It was, i think, the first soap opera, or one of the first. I believe it was in black and white (showing my age here) but my mom would watch it every afternoon when i was a wee one and i got into it as well. A vampire soap opera. It was great. I know there is now a movie based off of it. I need to watch that...it's on my list.

Speaking of Reality T.V. ...........
This was random. I came upon this today when reading morning news. Apparently a U.S. Senator from West Virginia says "Enough." Buckwild is a new show about Appalachia. The article says "Appalachia with a Jersey Shore twist."
Senator urges MTV to pull the plug on 'Buckwild' series, calling it a 'travesty' http://theclicker.today.com/_news/20...-travesty?lite

i've never wanted to be like june cleaver or mr. cleaver. i may have found myself being jealous of shows at times, like say of their material things or the way their families bonded so well. growing up, i found a lot of television to be make believe.
that very well could be how reality tv evolved. Last edited by macele; 12-10-2012 at 12:48 PM. Reason: because i can! |

I agree with this BUT I also really enjoy TV. I love reality TV. I hate shit like Honey Boo Boo and Toddlers and Tiaras because I think this shit exploits children. My mind is pretty expansive and I have huge responsibilities. Nothing pulls me out into a nothing zone quite like TV. Ok, maybe meditation but its different. But I don't feel like i need to sit in front of it every night. I also don't feel I need to be online drowning in social media. Everyone has their own form of relaxation. Then again I'd love a good distraction any day!

But this Buckwild show is going to create big media buzz, get a lot of free advertising and its most likely going to be stupid. It almost reminds me of those stupid guys from Jackass. I love all the Real Housewives. Lately Miami is my fav. I love Top Chef, Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. Actually there are quite a few Food Network shows I love.

I'm not a huge fan of reality television, shock jock radio or "entertainment news" - generally. Almost all of those shows make me uncomfortably embarrassed for the people participating in them. I can't even watch the 'Amazing Race', which is a great concept, because the amount of xenophobia that many of the contestants spew every time they're in a foreign culture makes me cringe and change the channel.
Don't even get me started on "real housewives" or "mob wives" or the Kardasians... or the billion dollar birthday parties for pre-teens ... or the spray tanned children ... What do those shows say about how we view women? And children? And what our values are? ...But that's me. they make *me* really uncomfortable. I don't begrudge anyone the right to decide which shows to watch, books to read, magazines to buy, radio stations to listen to. BUT I do believe that we perpetuate it by "buying it". For example, the paparazzi only exists because magazines pay $100s of $1000s for photos of public figures, and magazines only pay that much for a single photo because those photos sell magazines. I don't think there is anything wrong with enjoying shows or magazines or internet sites - but make no mistake your choice to participate as a consumer is not negligible, your participation is counted, it does impact what type of television shows are made, how far a photographer will go for a shot, how outrageous a act has to be in order to gardner audiences - it impacts what policies are in place and where the boundaries are... The "entertainment news" industry is colossal and a multi-headed Hydra. Murdoch himself has taken a huge hit in the past couple of years, his empire is starting to fall to pieces from the phone-tap scandals, but there are no lack of morally bankrupt media outlets ready to fill the gap. The prank call that precipitated this tragedy was incredibly distasteful and indicative of how dehumanizing the "cult of celebrity" has become. The radio hosts should be deeply ashamed of themselves because not only did they successfully invade the privacy of a person at a very vulnerable point in her life; they also acted with utter disregard, and a total lack of respect, for the medical professionals with whom they were speaking... all in the name of entertainment. All for a joke. Their act was distasteful and ill conceived and they should be held accountable for some of the blame for this loss of life. Both of the nurses involved in the prank call would have been in serious trouble both legally and professionally. The UK does have very stringent laws (equivalent to HIPPA) surrounding patient confidentiality and access to health records. Those laws were violated. Their professional credentials and livelihoods would have been on the line, not just their jobs at that hospital. And while the nurse who killed herself may not have disclosed the information regarding the morning sickness she would have been complicit by the very act of passing the call on to another colleague (an admission that the Duchess was a patient). Beyond the legal violations of disclosing personal health information - the hospital administration would have been publicly embarrassed, they would be in the news for all the wrong reasons, they would have likely lost the patronage of the Royal Family, they would be facing legal fines for the disclosure, and it is quite possible that portions of their funding could be on the line because of the scandal; the hospital administration would have been looking to take swift and severe action against the staff involved. I think there should be no doubt that this nurse would have been under considerable personal stress at the time she took her life.
