I have had enough of cheap shoddy rubbish like Big Brother.  I haven't watched any of it since the first UK series and it is DOMINATING the media.  You don't have to watch it or read about it to be annoyed by it.  The girls at work seem to talk about nothing else and it is low budget, false reality TV at its worst.  Total non entities get their five minutes of fame and I have to suffer because of it.

And whilst I'm of the subject DON'T let me get started on David and Victoria "Nauseating Pratts" Beckham.  (Posh and Becks).

Its hit hard everywhere. For once I think I found a community that agrees with me that reality TV shows must GO! I think simmers are the most loyal and honest group of people in the world. We respect many things in this world (mostly big metal birds  ), and we respect each other. Unlike other communities in this world. I trust a fellow simmers opinion the most. Reality TV SUCKS!

And the most annoying thing about American reality TV shows is that they get exported to us!

We either get really annoying Americans in stupid situations or really poor quality Anglicised versions of American shows.

The only selling point to the TV stations is that these shows are cheap to make and that those with no education seem to love them and will watch them for hours.  The get to have a program with a very low finantial outlay, massive advertising potential and interactive features that mean that the TV companies win three ways.  We will never see the back of reality TV.

The other thing that bugs me is lowest common denominator documentarys.  I am sure you know what I mean.  They build you up about the latest documentary on for example V1 flying bombs, showing clips of them as trailers plus snippets of interviews with technicians who worked on them and pilots who shot 'em down.

The program starts at 20.00 hours.  The first ten minutes tells you all about Hitler and the course of World War 2 up until 1943.  There are lots of in depth pauses and poor quality graphics of a Spitfire and FW190.  At 20.10 you have an advert break for five minutes.  20.15 comes and until 20.20 they go over again in even more basic terms what they told you during the first ten minutes.  The rest of the show continues in the same vein and IF you are lucky at 20.55 you finally get on to the subject at hand, Ie V1 Flying Bombs and then you get FIVE MINUTES OF TOSSING CREDITS.

Thanks for your time.

They seem to love all this trash, which is infecting the lives of the sensible few amongst us..!
I have ignored television since 1976 when the dross got started, I just listen to selected radio programs now.
Even my "Freeserve" main page splashes the latest results of BIG BROTHER every day. That's without all the other media crap.

let's kill the guys who invented "superstar" and "big brother". i can't take those f****** shows anymore! 

The really tedious thing is the knowledge that we in britain created most reality tv shows that then got exported around the world. e.g big brother and I'm a celebrity get me out of here.

I'm happy that that crap program has finished in holland...

the most fun part were the guys that parachuted in the garden of the building and got chased by the security guards...
