description: What does everyone think of reality TV shows? Do you watch them? I think that lots of reality TV shows aren't very interesting to watch, and they also seem pretty fake to me. I do enjoy cooking competition shows, however, which are a kind of reality TV.

description: The reality aspect is a bit of a oxymoron. I think they're idiotic. Empty programming snack calories. They are evidently cheap to produce and fill time slots.

description: I'm a musician, so I was into American Idol and The Voice when they first came out, but after a while it seemed formulaic so my interest quickly tapered off. I guess it makes sense because there's only so much a judge can say about a contestant, their music, and their abilities. On most competition shows, it seems like the judges spend the whole time trying to outdo one another.

description: Is Ice Road Truckers considered reality T.V.? I'm a little too long in tooth be watching all those new shows geared towards the younger crowd. I.R.T is right up my alley

description: When I think of reality television, I think of Survivor or Naked and Afraid. I watch neither of those. I do watch a lot of HGTV or DIY shows, are they reality? If the answer is yes, then my answer is yes.

description: I like reality TV that doesn't take itself too seriously. What I don't like are the shows that try to pass themselves off as an actual representation of someone's life. No matter how much footage they get of a person or a family, they have to cut it down to 30 minutes. Stuff is going to get left out and people won't be accurately represented.

description: It depends on the kind of reality TV show, but I have to agree that it can come off as fake. No matter how unscripted it is, people are likely to change their behavior when they know someone is watching.

description: I don't care for reality TV shows that exploit kids or put kids in stressful situations. The most egregious example I can think of is Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, but I'm certain that there are more out there.

description: I like Project Runway and Top Chef and will tune in to those when I have time. I also like some of the reality shows on HGTV. I used to watch American Idol and The Voice, but they became too predictable and phony.

description: I'm watching this Korean reality tv show wherein fathers would spend some time with their children while their wife gets a break. The show is good because the setup doesn't look intruding and the children are funny!
