Default Reality Tv

I was home most of the week and caught some episodes of Operation Repo and Black Gold on Tru tv. Are all reality shows this bad? To be honest I watched American Chopper, Axe Men, Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers and I think I am pretty much all reality tv'd out. First season of Survivor ruled. I just cant watch anymore.

I watch the Westerns Channel. (when I am home from work)
I don't watch those realty TV shows. Never have.
I like watching the Law & Order, and Cold Case re-runs.

I watched the first few episodes of Operation Repo. If I want to watch fake fights I'll just flip on WWE. While the incidents may have actually happened, what we see on TV is staged with that show. Claimed a kid kicked them square in the nuts, on the show and replays they showed in slo-mo, you could plainly see the kid pull the kick. He never came close to connecting. Another had a group of guys jump them, claimed a guy smashed a beer bottle over one's thigh. In the actual video you could easily see he threw the bottle at the ground, not the thigh. Didn't need replays in slo-mo to see that. How do you flip a car over on the hook, in front of many witness' and not a single cop shows up? Prolly took them 15-20 minutes of real world time to get everything cleaned up.

I can deal with Deadliest Catch, Ice Road and Dirty Jobs, those are not staged, the camera guys are right there with them.

I take that back. I did watch a couple episodes of that one dude. The blonde headed dude, with the mullet, and 80's outfit that is a Private Eye. (can't remember exactly-he's some kind of cop) His wife has got some big.....shoes.

Yeah, it's football season, so I'm glued to the TV on Saturdays.

I hate reality shows, there part of the dumbing down of America.
I don't watch much tv at all really. Football, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, I do like Ghosthunters, unless my wife falls asleep before I do, then I have to turn it off. I get skeered and can't sleep.
