Tori Spelling's life--any part of it. Reality or make-believe, no interest at all.
And am I the only one who couldn't care less if Audrey is still in there?

(1,858 posts)I have no idea who that guy is or why he has a 'reality' show. But the previews inspire zero interest in me watching it. I am beginning to wonder why I even pay for cable, since I think I can get enough of my media entertainment from Netflix and the Internet.

(30,947 posts)Just once I had to unwillingly watch American Idol. My daughter and I rented a cabin in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. We had a TV there and she confiscated the remote, and since she is a fan of that show, I was forced to watch it.

We used to watch The Amazing Race for the geographical interest, but even that grew tiresome.

(14,400 posts)I blame The People's Court for starting the trend but you can't flip on a TV during the day without finding one of these stupid things on there.

The People's Court - Yes it's still on.
Judge Joe Brown
Judge Mills Lane
Judge Mathis
Judge Hatchett
Curtis Court
Texas Justice

(38,325 posts)No cable, no satellite, no broadcast.
Our television is exclusively a commercial-free movie player .
I'm more likely to see a commercial at the cinema if I arrive early than I am on my own television.

And it's not just that, it's the incredibly fake version of Christianity that they hide behind to ensure their built in audience with the people who follow that crap. Let's over look the fact that Phil Robertson is a senile, racist, sexist, and homophobic bigot of epic proportions because hey, their ignorance and facial hair is funny!

And the year before that.
There's a silver lining on that black cloud, though.
At least they're not this year's Raiders.
not much solace, but I'll take it.

(1,999 posts)The only reality show I watch is Pit Bulls and Parolees.
I like Masterpiece Mystery and British police procedurals.
Doctor Who, Forever, Castle, Supernatural, and The Good Wife, in no particular order. Oh, and Grimm, in large part because it's filmed in Portland and is a police procedural with monsters; what's not to love?

And don't get me started on "open concept". Just once I'd like someone to say, "Could you build some fucking walls in this place so I don't feel like I am living in a fish bowl?"

Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen, Masterchef. Interesting for a season.
Worse, it has given us Hotel Impossible. Restaurant Impossible. Mystery Diners. Some show about bad bars? Enough already.
