reality tv, was HP & DH Movi

[Donna]

Donna:

I'm right there with Sandy.  I do NOT watch reality TV.  Judging by the few
seconds I've caught while "surfing", there's absolutely nothing real about
it.  Also, I, too, am finding it harder and harder to find anything on TV
worth watching.  I switched from cable to satellite (BIG mistake) and my
personal viewing choices reduced in number.  I don't do reality (mostly on
local channels), pay-per-view, sports, shopping, infomercials, soaps, music
videos, and I outgrew porn many, many years ago.  I'm paying for 100
channels and watch, maybe 12-15 over time.  I've rediscovered the library
and Sudoku.  Also, I'm very thankful for my Blockbuster's membership and my
personal video library.

Reality tv is popular because there is something wrong with our (US) culture


Sandy:

Is that the reason? I am not being sarcastic, I absolutely loathe reality 
tv. It is a scourge. I am finding it harder and harder to find anything
worth 
watching on tv, and two of my former favorite networks have fallen prey to
the 
reality bandwagon. A&E used to be such a wonderful network and now it's just

garbage. Court TV changed to Tru TV on Jan. 1. Their blurb is "not reality 
but actuality". It's a load of crap. They have been switching towards
reality 
for a long while now, and I have watched it less and less. So now my 
television is mostly set on HGTV or The Food network, when I am actually
watching 
television. Even The History Channel has taken a turn for the worse. Thank 
goodness I have a very large video library, both tape and DVD. I was off
today, 
and since I don't do soaps, I spent the day watching Columbo on DVD.
