#1  The scourge of reality shows God help us. I've been watchin' ABC for a little over an hour now, and I've already seen two horrific ideas for reality shows. The first: "The Ultimate Love Test". Four couples allow themselves to see other people for a shot at $100,000. Hilarity and heartbreak (more of the latter than the former) ensues. Really, if you're willing to put a relationship on the line for a quick buck, you can't really call it love, can you? Seriously. The second: "Wife Swap". Dear Lord. They didn't actually show anything, but it somehow reminded me of two New York Yankee pitchers that basically swapped lives back in the 1970s. Yet another very bad idea. Who green-lights this kind of garbage? It's no wonder they're worried about bad ratings. What do you think of the newest generations of reality shows? Discuss your opinions on other reality shows, if you like. |

 | There have been two "reality" shows that I've ever watched: The Mole and WB Superstar USA. I watched the Mole because, it really was a cool show. It allowed the viewer to get into the game, and play along. Every single season now I've been able to tell who the Mole is by the 4th episode. A very cool show. I watch the WB Superstar for mere comedic value. It is so funny that these people think that they are good, and the hosts of the show tell them so. It ended today, and I'm amazed at how well the final 3 took the news that they were lied to when told they were good singers. But it was still funny just laughing at Mario say he was a sex god and such. But the new batch, I despise. FOX makes the worst shows in general (I feel sorry for the Simpsons  ) and especially the worst reality shows. I've seen one episode of Survivor, and that was the first episode of the first season, and never have I seen another. American Idol? Nah. The Bachelor? Hell no.I generally am not a fan of reality shows, except for a few. I think most of it is garbage. |

We have that show in the UK, and it's awful. I don't know why companies continue to churn out these awful shows, as I certainly can't imagine them receiving a large viewing rating. I suppose they're feeding what they believe to be "The Demand", but I believe they're slightly off the mark when it comes to what people really want to watch. |

 |  'wife swap' sounds like all of the nagging with none of the sex. It is a UK show so that's probably where I got the idea from. Some reality tv shows are fun to watch. Take that silly average joe show. It was downright hilarious watching a bunch of...well, losers vying for the attraction of a woman. I wish I watched it earlier so I could confirm that hypothetically the 'most manly' of the un-manly would be 'most-attractive'. Oh well, it was all moot when the hotties came. Duh. |

 | Don't look now, but there will also be "Family Fear Factor" this coming summer, which means the whole family can enjoy eating bugs! It's very sad to see how much TV has regressed. I barely watch anything now besides sports, news, The Daily Show, Chappelle's Show, and reruns of The Simpsons, Futurama, and Family Guy. Take care all. |
