Does anyone follow them? I don't, because I find them all so boring and stupid. And yet they thrive on almost all of the major networks. I was just wondering if some of you have a different opinion on that subject. And if you are out there, then please don't be offended by my remark. Speak up, I want to hear your point of view.
There is no question that these shows are popular. I am struggling with the question why? There is no a story or a punch line (if they pretended to be funny… none of them from what I watched are btw) or any profound lesson that we can learn besides that stupid and ignorant folks do exist. That has been known for a long time.
If there was a torture for me, it would be me sitting in a chair with my hands in handcuffs and my eyes wide open, just like in that movie called the Clockwork Orange (1971), and watch it all.. not the movie... you.. :). So what's the heck is going on? (blame my language, sorry).
I understand that it is much easy to do that kind of shows, as supposed to hire writers and directors (good ones) and do something interesting and intellectually stimulating. The fact that these shows are cheaper to make… doesn't necessarily mean they are better from what has been done before. And on top of that, these shows are not really the reality shows. All of them are written and directed in some way or another.
