Do you watch "Real Life" type dramas on TV?

[JanMichael]

Do you?

Don't we all have enough of that thing called "Real Life" anyway?

Do we really need an actor expressing emotions that we already have? Someone (That doesn't really exist) is PREGNANT?! Oh my...

Just curious.

1. It's an escape, just like any other show

I will 'fess up - my husband and I watch Survivor, The Bachelor (but this is the LAST time!! Only because it's Bob!!) and the latest, K Street (not sure if that really counts or not).

We will NOT be watching American Idol or Joe Millionaire again. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Yes but don't tell anyone.....

3. NO, I'm so damn sick of all of them

I could just scream! The other night, all four networks had one of those damn shows on and I wanted to pick up the TV and throw it out the door. I have enough of real life, I watch TV for escape. Besides, most of those shows aren't really "reality", they're "staged reality."

I want to see a reality show where a rich family accustomed to living in a mansion and having everything they want all the time, the "good life" in other words, is forced to live in a crumbling, run-down house in a poverty-stricken inner-city neighborhood plagued with crime and drugs, with no medical insurance, and barely any money for necessities, and having to choose between food, rent, or medicine, and deal with all of the other bullshit those in poverty have to live with every single day. Now THAT'S a "reality" show I'd definitely watch!

4. NO. It's about as real as any show. It's staged and stupid. Big deal,

the audience has a vote. If I want reality I'll walk out my front door.

5. Maybe I mis-labelled the target. I meant "Dramas" on TV....

You know...those Police or lawyer dramas that people just suck up...Not the "Reality" shows, which suck ass too...

7. OH! Now those I absolutely CAN'T STAND!

Like we need another CSI. There are now four of them - enough already! CSI, CSI Miami, Without a Trace and now Cold Case, plus Law and Order, NYPD Blue, Skin, I'm sure I'm missing a few. Never watched them, never will.

The only dramas I watch are 24 and Six Feet Under. The best damned shows on television!
