Do you feel that too many television shows appeal to the lowest common denominator?

Question

There are so many reality shows, talk shows, shows that are not worth anyone's time; Jerry Springer, Fear Factor, Celebrity Death Match, etc., etc,.etc. I keep hearing that this is what people want. Is this true? Have we truly de-evolved to this level? Opinions are fine, no name calling or throwing things allowed. :)

Answer 1

Yes, I think it is pretty sad when a clever show like Arrested Development can't make it, but shows like "Yes, Dear" keep going on. It's pathetic.

Answer 2

For starters Celebrity Death Match is worth waching to me because the show is funny and there are some celebrity that I dont like and now I could wach them on tv fighting each other and killing each just because of the show. I do agree with you with some talk show.

Answer 3

I agree--and the shows that were once good have gone down the tubes. I used to watch Maury, back when most of the time it was secret crushes on your best friend, tradgedy or success stories, and long-lost reunions, with maybe one paternity test show a month. Now that's all they show--one girl had over 10 men tested to see if one was the father, and NONE of them were! Grrr--give me the stories about people with tourettes who overcame the struggles and teasing to become successful, and stories like that...guess I'll have to stick with Oprah.

Answer 4

it rather is genuine, I observed the video of it mutually as i became watching interior version until now in the present day. curiously the infant have been smoking because of fact that 18 months previous and smokes 2 packs an afternoon. There are different video clips of the comparable newborn smoking so it rather is genuine.

Answer 5

Ugh yes! I never watch reality TV (except Project Runway) because it is so dumb - so trashy - it's like mental pixie stix - tastes good for awhile - but later you are still hungry.

;o)

Answer 6

Yes! It's horrible!
