The Weekly Gripe

Reality TV sucks, laguna beach, big brother etc.

Reality TV shows aren't real life

Television has changed forever and not necessarily for the better in my opinion. My concern is with that certain type of show known as ‘Reality TV’.

21-1-2008I agree that many reality tv shows have sort of 'dumbed' down in terms of quality and content, espiecially since the year 2000- which is when Big Brother first started.
