Reality Shows!!

Reality Television!!
Now in days all you see on television is reality shows. Theres a big variety of shows for all ages and taste. Its amazing how in the past few years reality has taken over many of our favorite shows. Now have all sorts of shows for example; The Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, Basketball Wives and many more. These shows are suppose to be about peoples real life but, most of them seem to be scripted.The three main channels that i know host most of these shows are E!, VH1 and MTV. Wether they're scripted or not, people still seem to tune in every week to watch the next episode.
I actually watch some reality tv shows on my favorite channel which is E!. The one show i really like at this point is Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Its a show about a crazy successful family and how they live their life. This show to me is very entertain and fun because the family is just full of craziness. I also enjoy watching Teen Mom on MTV. I can really relate to Teen Mom since i can relate to some of the girls on the show. I can say its sort of a guilty pleasure since i keep up with these shows once a week. I do not think its wrong to watch reality but its just how you view others life and respect it.
I believe that reality shows could be a little crazy and can get out of control for example, all these Mob Wives,basketball Wives etc. which are usually about drama and fighting.These type of shows put a bad example on how celebrity wives act like in their comfort zone. The Jersey Shore is another show that contains a lot of drama and fighting. They also use bad language and seem to always want to get physical. Now these type of shows are the ones i really dislike. I think they are a bad example since anyone can watch it especially teenagers.
On the other hand theres also educating reality shows like Teen Mom. I actually think these shows are good to show young girls an example of how most teen moms live and how hard it is to be young and to be parenting. Some parents may take this show offensive and think MTV is actually setting a bad example and encouraging teen pregnancy. While others think its okay to air these shows. I myself think Teen Mom is a good show since i get to see other teen moms overcome some challenges that i have been through.
Overall reality shows are on TV and will remain. Its up to you to choose what its that you want to watch. Some shows are bad influences and others are helpful. Its also parents that should be aware of what their kids are watching. These shows are going to be on TV for a long time since people are always tuning in and raising the demands.

  1. I think you are right about how these T.V. shows that people watch are going to be on T.V. because a lot of people watch them and it's up to us to choose if they influence us in a good way or negative way.
