And why is that? Because people for some reason want it, that's why. I've heard about it, I'm glad I don't watch TV is all I have to say.

Now the kids are having kids.

With you Jill on the same feeling

Channel click past.

And why is that?

Reality TV shows get and stay on the air for one reason only: They are extremely cheep to produce. Because of this, they don't even have to do well to bring in huge profits. This is also why there are so many of them on TV and why there aren't as many more complex in depth shows these days. They just don't need as many customers to bring in the money.

Even cheaper than gameshows, which used to be the biggest moneymakers. I think it's easier to soak the market with gameshows, though. People can only take so much of that. My limit is about 0%, but then, except for Food Network, so is my reality TV limit.

I signed the petition... would love to see them cancelled.
