I actually thought the first series of Big Brother was genuinely interesting. (there I said it) It took a fairly wide range of people and just left them to get on with living with each other, and showed the conflicts that arose from being around differenct classes and cultures 24/7.
However, they then went on to screw with the format, carefully selecting housemates to appeal to the demographic that was watching, leading to another 10 series of the same bunch of borderline retarded 20-30 nightclubber types with no variance in interests and nothing of any interest to say. It took a dozen clones and showed what it's like to live with twats 24/7.
Of course, because of the demographic, whenever they'd dare to put someone interesting in, they'd be voted out almost interesting cos 'they just keep talking about stuff when I only watch it to look at Kev ooh aint he got a lovely bum.'
I wouldn't scrap all reality TV however, purely because of one that died after only one series, 'Kings of Comedy', where they took six 'old school' 60s style club comics, and six unknown 'new wave' comedians, and locked em up, and made them perform a 5 minute set each night according to a different rule.
Partly because it defied expectations, because comics generally have a basic level of respect for anyone in the industry, when I imagine the TV execs were drooling over the idea of conflict, and partly because it's genuinely fascinating to watch the minds of comedians at work when they're not on stage.
That's also why Jack Dee is possibly the only Celeb Big Brother contestant I ever cared about.

Cougar Town. Not necessarily because it's bad, but because it's basically a spin off of Scrubs. Not only is it written by the same people, but Christa Miller is nearly the same character. Courtney Cox plays a female version of JD / Elliot. In the title screen of the show, they've started putting up little asides like "This is a horrible title" and "This is not what the show is."
True that my friend. Who ever green lit the idea for that show needs a serious talking to.Dfskelleton said:
When I clicked on the title I wondered how many posts it would take to post this (9 posts, counting OP)Mr. Omega said:
Yes, it is that bad.
You know, there was a pretty good show on ITV1 a couple of years back, called Trinity. Not a brilliant show, but I enjoyed it, and it was fairly interesting, kind of like the sort of show you usually only see in the USA. Anyway, it was meant to be aired here in Blighty in early 2009, and the promotions were for then, but then it was decided that Paris Hilton's 'show' should be put on instead. Anyway, it meant that when Trinity was finally aired, barely anyone knew about it anymore, so it got cancelled after one series (despite a massive cliffhanger and plenty of unresolved plotlines, which I'm very pissed off about).FargoDog said:
Anyway, shows like Paris Hilton's should just be wiped from the face of the Earth. Banned, and have all existing copies and archived footage from the already-filmed ones destroyed. Kill it with fire...
I dont totally agree with that because shows like Strictly come dancing are actually fairly good providing they dont go to using unheard of guests.freedomweasel said:
For some reason I hate Xfactor : /
But yeah things like next top model and BigBrother are just stupid.
Any reality show, especially Jersey Shore. But my tastes are pretty much limited to Sci-Fi comedy and cartoons.
2 and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory and anything else that imbecile Chuck Lorre has had anything to do with. Seriously, do people really find his stuff funny?
"16 and pregnant again" the story of the dugger family whose "religon"(Producerism) wont let them have prtected sex. Subsequently, the family has more than 15 children and plans to keep having more. This show is part of why I have lost faith in humanity. It is undeniable proof(and to some degree encouragement) that if fuck your life up bad enough, the kind profit wizards at TLC will pay all your bills and give you your own reality show!
Majority of reality television shows
Majority of stuff on cartoon network (regular show is good) especially the live action shit.
Majority of shit on History Channel (swamp people isn't history)
Honestly with redbox on every corner, and my trial of netflix impressing me I'm almost at the point where I cancel cable and just upgrade my TW internet.
