All this reality rubbish is the primary reason I don't watch TV any more. At least the Sky channels are relatively clean. No Big Brother, I'm a celebrity... etc. Just a combination of rather naff sci-fi spin off shows and the occasionally bearable TV. Oh, and it has the Simpsons.
And, Taw, reality TV is fashionable because stupidity is fashionable. The fact remains that until you go past age 20 most of your peers will brand you 'sad' if you don't partake in binge drinking and rabidly cheering while watching a bunch of overpaid knuckleheads who can't spell their own name kick a bag of air about.
The only problem is that the stupidity tends to be permanent.
Wow, that sounds really bitter.
