In general...

It’s no big surprise that reality shows have been taking over television recently. Nor is it a big surprise that they will probably continue to take over. Any network from CBS to MTV exhibits one reality show after another. Some were more popular than others, some more controversial than others, and some that were just plain entertaining. Reality shows are a love/ hate kind of thing. Some people absolutely hate them and some people can’t live without them. Either way, we all know they are completely addicting.

If you are anything like me, no matter how stupid you think these shows are, you’ll continue to watch them over and over again. I found that any show from Big Brother on CBS to Rock of Love on VH1 to Made on MTV can effectively and unconditionally suck you in. Once you watch one episode it’ll leave you hanging, making you think what’s going to happen with so and so, I wonder who gets voted off next episode, are they really going to do that.

My blog is going to be dedicated to reality television: the controversies, the stars, the drama, and especially the fact that these shows are completely taking over every network we watch.

If you haven't already seen it, and have on demand from comcast, I highly recommend "Scott Baio is 45...And Single." It is one hilarious insight into the mind of a former teen heart throb. And the fact that he hires a life coach and has to re visit all of his ex-girlfriends (including Joanie from "Happy Days") makes the show great. I think they are doing a second season too.
