Is it time reality tv ended?
I was talking to people at work about 90s Saturday night tv against nowadays and they all agreed that since 2000 when Big Brother hit our screens the whole of the free view channels is full of reality tv, game shows or repeats.
Like for Example 90’s I sat down watching: 4:30 Final Score with my dad Around 5:30 Big Break we all watched 6 Generation Game or Challenge Anneka 7 Noel’s house Party 8 Lottery 10 Match of the day Now I just watch Final Score and Match of the day if my team has won. Tv for me has gone from a family viewing to Women viewing. Tonight I watched neverending story on Netflix as there was nothing to watch on tv. Like I watch UK Gold a lot as bbc and itv don’t make comedy programs anymore. Edited at 11:48 PM. |

Hate reality tv. Fed up of all the ‘celebrity specials’ of tv shows, we never have a clue who they are. Seems like you only have to be seen on tv one or twice and you’re a celebrity. Then again, it’s all the brain dead morons who watch these shows and give these people their celebrity status. I’m going to stop here before I really get started!

Yep, get rid of it, I won’t miss it.
I’m no grouch, but so many of these “stars” think they are owed something. Those that should be recognised are people who do real jobs... I’ll stop now too 🙊😜🤣

I don’t understand the “from family viewing to women viewing” comment.

Get rid of the lot... other than I’m a celebrity get me out of here’. I never tire of seeing how former ‘stars’ will do quite literally anything for a chance of another slice of the cake.

Depends what you class as reality TV, I quite like reality programs that give an insight into something like Heathrow or the Emergancy services.
Anything that focus on the word Celebrity, like get me out of here, made in chelsea, love Island and so on I find to be mind numbing dross, cheap and easy to make. |

I think there is too much reality tv, but equally I wasn’t overly keen on the “family” viewing from years ago. The difference was then there were only 4 or 5 channels to watch, so that’s what you watched.
Now, with You Tube etc, people seem more interested in watching other people’s lives than actually living their own Edited to add - men watch reality shows as much as women. We only watch Strictly and (occasionally) XFactor as OH watches it.

As long as people keep watching the rubbish (personal opinion), advertisers will keep paying premium rates so TV companies will keep showing it!
I hate reality TV, but it is my choice, so I don't watch it. You have the same option

Sorry didn’t mean nothing against Women but men would only watch Reality tv if there partners or wives watched it. Our sky planner got Strictly, 4 in a bed, Coach Trip, Bake off, Don’t tell the bride and the hunted. Out of all them I just watch Hunted and Coach trip and even that done my head In this season with it been on a hour instead of half hour.
