Utterly Pee'd off with Big Brother

[Smoke2much]

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).

ARRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for you attention, Have a Nice Day

All reality tv shows are rubbish, and it seems they're taking over the media!

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!

It's worse in the US.  We have Big Brother, countless dating/mating shows, stuff on islands, minor celebrity stuff on islands, Fear Factor (will you eat live roaches for money?), ad nauseam.  

They are cheap to make so producers love them.  I just can't figure out why anyone watches them.

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.

If you get the History Channel or Discovery Wings, WATCH THEM!!! They are most likely the two best channels out there. No BS included.

Personally I'm v.grateful too them. The missus watches them, so I get more quiet time for flying

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 must agree totally with you all.

As Vintage says, over here we have the 'Big Brother' (second time 'round, I think) version where there are 6 or 8 people in a house with cameras everywhere.
EVEN IN THE CRAPPER (like we all need to see that).
Each week there's this big promotion and heaps of discussion amongst every simpleton alive, about who they're going to vote out of the house this week.

It's the most, petty, miserable and totally uninspiring peice of garbage I've ever had the misfortune to 'accidentally' see during the previews and promotions that I'm bombarded with during other TV programs.

The really pathetic part about it all here is, they have a "Big Brother' UNCENSORED version late at nite or on the weekends after prime time. In this you can apparently see some ugly sluts tits and if you're really, really lucky, a mans bare bum (weeeeeeeee!!!!).
Bloody raving twats!!!!

Anyway, Smokes. If you want decent Doco's that get to the point and have minimal repetitive content, as Blade says, go for the Fox History Channel.
The only problem is you'll have the opportunity to see any given Doco about 10 times if you want. They repeat them regularly. At least here they do.  ;D

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...
