Reality TV, very simply, sucks like a cheap hooker in Brooklyn during Christmas when it's cold and her bits get frozen up and she doesn't get any punters anyway cos they're all at home with their families pretending to be loving parents/husbands. (Did I just let out too much? )

Anyway, "reality" TV is a myth. Each show is manufactured, edited and pre-produced anyway. I find it amusing that so many people want to be on one of these shows - "Eee I'll be on the telly!" - when it almost always ends up screwing up their lives in one form or another. It's all about that 15 minutes of fame. Everyone wants to be a celebrity, and nobody wants to work for it. Just send in your application, take a mouthful of Satan's scaly pecker of jism, and BOOM! you're in the Big Brother house.

Most television sucks anyway. I only watch Paramount Comedy and the wrestling anyway. Oh, and Stargate. Do I sound like a geek now?

Stargate is ace. so no, for that point alone, you're not a geek

I always thought that Richard Dean Andersson was anti-violent but he really kicks ass now compared to McGyver days.

I too am apart of the non-tv watchers party.
Over 2 and a half years ago, I moved into a place where the tv plug didn't work. I meant to tell them to fix it but I never got around to it, after a month or so, I noticed that I didn't even miss it, and I couldn't think of one thing I wanted to watch anyway.

I don't listen to the radio (except Full Metal Racket on JJJ) and I don't read the paper or news internet sites, so I pretty much have no idea what is going on in the world.

I didn't even know there was war on Irac until it was over.

So you don't really know whether Geoff is right if he says that you'd look like Buffy? How should you know? But hey. You got a computer...so it should be no problem to stay informed.

Yes it is shit. But....NHL hockey rules!

Oh it ain't over. When they've finished there they'll take it on the road. I don't watch much TV either, I mean I watch it...but I don't see much of it, if you get my meaning.

My TV is covered with food - due to me swearing and screaming at it while eating my dinner due to:

1. The totally snivelling Right-leaning electronic sewer outlet that is today's "news". And

2. An incessant barrage of SHITTY HYPED MANUFACTURED MASS-BEHAVIOUR INFLUENCING PISSWEAK EXCUSE FOR "ENTERTAINMENT" PUS-FILLED FUCKING REALITY SHOWS!!! *pant pant*

So...um...I voted "yeah".

Reality-TV is more or less dying here in Norway...they still air some crappy reality-series, but noone's watching.

The only TV-shows I watch is cartoons, political debate-shows, the news and metal-shows.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I don't watch TV (anymore).

END OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT

kidding, Vesper?

Nay, true - I have the net and that's enough
What do you need TV for?? Entertainment? Come on, books, cinemas and parties are BETTER... Information? Can't beat the net in that...
Any other ideas?

I only watch TV for sports or comedy/cartoon shows...and The Shield. Everything else is movies or video games.

Speaking of comedy...has anyone ever seen The Office? It's a british comedy and wicked funny. I suppose it's been out for a while now in Europe, but I'm just getting into it now.

I despise reality tv as well.

same thing here ... i never watch TV, apart from porn dvd movies

I'll hook you up Geoff...only the fines

Chris

Yes it is shit. But....NHL hockey rules!

amen !

i'm probably on my own, but i don't find that in the slightest bit funny. Vastly overrated too IMO.

I much prefer the likes of Little Britain, Father Ted, or generally anything not involving Ricky Gervais

MEN BEHAVING BADLY!!!
