Not only that, but the whole "glam culture" & sexualizing children in general.
Horrible, or should I say whore-able shit.

There was an excellent documentary on CBC last week on the media trends, and ad campaigns that common sense would say cross the line, but nobody cares about modesty anymore. Filthy filthy Humans...



Ka-Tra

Any reality show

Most of them.

That too. I wish I had a barfing emoticon to express my distaste for this show. I'll just have to settle for this:

That's uncanny. As soon as I saw the thread title, that show immediately came to mind.

Wonder how many child molesters have that shit on their DVR (because TiVo is no longer the hotness).

So that and damn near everything on MTV.

I was going to say Seinfeld or Frasier but after being reminded of that children's pageant show I'm going to have to go with that.

I hate, HATEEEE those shows about big families. Why do they celebrate some lady's clownhole being a clown car? Hahahaha

Seriously... the Dougars, the gosslins, and all those. I cannot stand them. Keep your damn legs shut... and stop doing those fertility treatments if u cant handle the kids. Not to mention stop having kids after u had one that was super premature...

Kids arent freaking accessories or cats to collect...


lol toddlers and tiaras... Those mothers... seriously...
Although they arent that different from some sports dads... hmmm... maybe i'll pitch that to the channel.

Most of it's awful. I literally cannot watch almost anything on TV now with the exceptions of Dr. Who, Avengers, Clone Wars, and Transformers: Prime. I'll tune into Robot Chicken, FG and American Dad out of habit on occasion; AD sometimes manages to give me a few good chuckles. Other than those, it's very tough to sell me on a new show. I keep hearing good things about Breaking Bad, but they come from people who recommended True Blood, and I turned that off after half of an episode. Last thing I think I really enjoyed was Dexter.

There are some decent TV series out there - CSI, Hustle, Supernatural - but the most of them are useless, namely reality shows. I don't have a television at the moment. The news and some talk shows are useful.

Cops.
Gah I dislike that show so much, and the fact that it's ALWAYS on G4 doesn't help.

G4 hasn't been any good for at least 4 years. I know. I was an avid viewer.

I stopped watching TV three years ago lol.

Dance Moms.

So many crazy bitches.

I rarely watch tv anymore. In past few years my only form of entertainment was vg's.

I watch family guy and think it's hillarious.

Worst show? Jersey Shore. I've never pushed myself to watch an entire episode, only about 5minutes at a time. Now someone explain to me why you would enjoy watching these fucking ridiculous idiots with their fake baked tans and greased up hair do's going clubbing and getting drunk, sleeping w each other, etc. you get the idea. I'd probably fuck them up just for giggles if some mirraculously way I ended up in a club in the first place. Anyway these are the very people I look down upon generally speaking.

Two and a Half Men.

How are you guys not watching The Walking Dead?

I think since most channel lineups are predominantly shit it'd be easier to name shows that I actually DO watch. * = Watch ocasionally

- The Walking Dead
- Being Human
- Face-Off
- New Girl
- The Voice* (Usually if my girlfriend is over only since she more or less makes me)
- Archer
- Adult Swim (American Dad, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Aqua Team)
- Seasonal sports (College Football/Basketball mostly)
- ESPN Sportscenter *
- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
- The Office*
- 30 Rock*
- Call of the Wildman*
- Touch (at least I watched the pilot and will give the regular season a shot)
- Alcatraz*

Ehhh, The Walking Dead isn't that good to me. Jersey Shore is just fucking ridiculous. All reality shows suck. Cartoon Network sucks now. Most Cartoon channels suck now. Once CN got rid of Toonami, it went downhill from there. Adult Swim is starting to follow it. Only shows I like from AS is The Boondocks.

Love that show.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Toonami (which I assume is anime) I had zero interest in. You guys realize there's other channels outside of MTV and the Cartoon Network right?

Kardashians.

Toonami had some of the best. DBZ, Tenchi, Cyborg 009, Gundam. All the good shit. I'm not much of a television person. I don't watch shows as much as I used to when I was a kid. MTV was good for their music (and I guess Beavis and Butthead but I hate that show as well) But for some reason, every channel are now just filled with horrible reality shows and goddamn pregnant teens. Why make a show out of that? Only things I like watching now are MXC, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet (When they got the Uncut and Untamed whatever on)


TV shows are going down the shitter. My opinion!

Clownhole! LMAO! I'm surprised that woman's uterus hasn't fallen out yet. That woman is actually lucky to be alive after the risky birth of her last child. The only way that people like that can afford to live is to have their own TV show.

I would disagree on your statement that the moms of T&Ts aren't much different from sports dads, however. Although there are some similarities, most sports dads aren't waxing their sons' legs and trying to make their sons look more sexually appealing to complete strangers. They may be teaching their sons that their self-worth comes from being able to play a sport (a talent that comes from within), but these paegent moms teach these little girls that their self-worth comes from being sexy (something fairly external), even before little girls can conceptalize and understand sexuality.

Does anyone remember that so- called TV show called "My Super Sweet Sixteen?" Ugh. I only watched that show twice (and only because I was at a friend's house), and that was enough. I wanted to kidnap those girls and dump them in a refugee camp in a third-world country just to show them how spoiled, ungrateful, and out-of-touch with reality they were.

Right on about those vacuous ninnies who squeeze out babies like a conveyor belt then spoil them and/or neglect them. those people don't need their own tv shows, they need therapy!!

I live in England so we have the US concept of 'reality TV' in a trying-to-be american way. Examples that spring to mind are 'The only way is Essex' about a bunch of people with too many hormones and not enough brain cells, and that Katie Price show, about a media whore who has too much silicone and not enough brain cells.

Anyone notice the pattern? i'll give you a hint, it's the abundant surplus of idiocy.
