Reality TV, Getting Desperate

Post by David » Sun Jun 20, 2010 3:37 pm

I was flipping through channels and came across a reality TV show called "Mall Cops". The title is misleading because the "cops" are security officers/guards.

How desperate are we that we are now watching security guards and what they do? I am not knocking the security job, I have been a security officer/guard in the past but they are not real cops and.......why :?: And during the brief time I watched it, the officers portray themselves, and maybe see themselves as real police officers.

Little fact, majority of security officers want to be police officers but some are unable due to one reason or another.

The mall is the Mall of America, I guess. Here is the link. http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/mall-cops/

I am sorry, but I think that this is scraping the bottom of the bucket.

Another desperate show is "All Worked Up". The show describes itself as "This series goes on the job with people whose work entails delivering bad news or dealing with difficult situations where the recipient may explode in a rage.Whether it is serving subpoenas, parking violations, or towing cars, there is never a dull moment in this half-hour of non-stop action." http://www.trutv.com/shows/all_worked_up/index.html I did watch about 10 minutes of the show but..... it is like pulling teeth. The process server talks tough but runs like a white nerdy kid in the projects.

What are some bad reality TV shows that you know?

Oh man, I can't stand ANY of those so called "reality" shows. It all started back when MTV quit the music biz came up with that Real World pile of steaming waste!

Anything that has the word "Housewives" in it can rot in hell for all I care, as well. Gadzooks! Are there really women in this world like them? God help us all!

Reality TV is for simple minded folks in my opinion, I think we have us brits to blame for it though with the TV show Big Brother.

I wish I could say it was the British fault, but I know that "COPS" started in the 80's (1989 to be exact) in the US. To my knowledge, I think COPS was one of the first "reality TV show". By googling that question, I discover that I am partly wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_television

I could see some draw to COPS when it first came out. Go and see what police do, see the fights, the blood, the pursuits, and etc...

But I think the simple minded people, as supreme stated, and the laziness of TV producers have lead TV down a path of voyeurism of stupidity. To me they, the TV producers and TV people, deel that we have tuned into mind numb, cattle.
