Don’t think TV in the States is any better.
We have the pleasure of “reality TV”: shows like Survivor, (it should only be anything like Xevivor!) Fear Factor, Dog eat Dog, Bachelor, Bachelorette, the mewling whiners on Real World (real world hah!) and more being threatened every day. Not only are these lost souls all over our TV’s, we then have to read about their crappy lives in newspapers and magazines [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]….my TV is off more than it’s on nowadays. Oops, I think this has turned into a rant [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]elmey
I’m picking on Prisoner exclusively, it’s just that it’s one of the many tiresome shows that show up on our screens.
And unfortunately we have these reality shows as well, and they are just as bad, like Snooklepie has mentioned, Big Brother is the owrst of the bunch followed by the godawful Pop Idol.
It’s a ridiculous state of affairs when the main national newspaper is more interested in following the antics of some dopy, stupid cow called Jade than following the worlds events on it’s front page.
It really makes me laugh when these sad people then start to believe they are superstars, they start going to celebrity events and parties, thinking they’re something that they are not. But the public soon tire of them, like the runners up of Popstars…Hearsay, are on the ropes and failing in the pop world, no less than they deserve.
This country’s t.v public continues to allow these idiot programmes to exist, mainly I suppose because the crap terrestrial channels have the monopoly on what these people are forced to watch.
Maybe be that America has it’s fair share of crap, but a least there is some diversity on offer and you have creative people over there that will try something new, we in the UK only get a small selection of the best America has to offer, the rest of it is the mundane soaps and unoriginal and uninteresting reality shows.
