Yeah some of these “reality” shows are pretty pathetic and clearly a detriment to our society. After all, what has entertainment in this country come to when watching celebrities try and dance, or be successful in big-business, or a slew of contestants competing to win a “date” with a bachelor, I mean c’mon. Some of these B programs are nothing more then feeble attempts to capitalize on the “Reality Show Band Wagon”.
That said however, a small few actually stand for something more then number of viewers tuned in and/or revenue generated. Such as the “Idol Gives Back” program raising funds for charities in this country and abroad (and endorsed by good ol GW). Another is “The Biggest Loser”, which although may initially seem a bit disturbing to watch heavy people struggle with the disease of obesity on national television, the show actually changes the contestants lives (for the better) and inspires millions of viewers who also struggle with weight. What a great program and best part is, they have a continuing theme of encouragement with weight tips and advice geared to the viewer throughout each segment…
