Reality tv

You seem very angry anfeild

It is a bit odd. I mean, commercial tv has been around for a long time, and in the USA especially, all sorts of studies and focus groups and stuff have been done so networks can work out their best bet to make money.

And yet before 2000 or so, there were barely a handful of reality shows on air. What's caused the explosion? Has society changed? Did nobody previously grasp the idea that it's the NUTTERS that people are most interested in?

society has changed, sparky. In the past people were embarrassed about private matters as their neighbours would judge them. Nowdays they will sell their children for some publicity and dosh, whether positive or negative

in short we have become a "I don't care what other people fink, innit" society

Yeah i think people will almost do anything for fame and money. I'd say if you said your running this show and one person will die in the making of it you would get people signing up for it. Reality tv is satin's spawn.
