Reality Television —
I will admit, I am addicted to reality tv. I must say, though, that I do not like all reality tv shows or all aspects of reality tv. I gave reality tv three stars because some of the shows I lilke and watch frequently, and others are just rediculous. I question how much of reality tv shows are actual reality and how many are scripted. I personally like reality tv shows where the contestants compete for a relationship with the bachelor/bachelorette; however, I think it is absurd when they have sequels. For example, I think Flavor of Love is now on it's third sequel. Also, reality shows seem to focus on drama and the worst aspects of people's personality because that appeals to viewers. Although I, too, enjoy this, I think it can make it easier to sterotype individuals or groups of people. I think some reality tv is great, especially when you are learning something new. An example of this is the home improvement shows that teach creative ways to improve their house. Overall, I think people should choose carefully what they watch because not all reality tv is good tv.
