Reality Shows are cheap to make


On a typical sitcom you have to pay the whole cast. With reality shows its just the host basically. Plus the set does not need to be so elaborate as a sitcom does. As usual its the viewer being shortchanged by this garbage.

Yes, most reality shows, if we can even call them that are pure garbage.

The only way we'll ever start getting quality TV shows like they used to make in the '60s and early '70s will be if people stop watching this reality crap, disconnecting their cable service and advertising sales go down. Follow the money. When they start losing money because people are so disgusted by this crap, then they'll stop putting this mess on TV.

You are right on the money . Look at SURVIVOR. I never watched that show but I have heard about it. Now how stupid is it that people vote people off the island. In a true test of survival, you would have one mean, badass guy that makes it through. None of this wimpass voting people off lmao. Give me a break.
