Reality TV

I don't care for reality tv.  I have watched a few but the majority of the shows just baffle me.  I just don't understand how most of them even get started and why people even care to watch it.

I was watching a rerun of "Sex and the City" on Style network, the one where Miranda's mother dies and Carrie gets mad at Aiden when he buys her a new Mac.  Still don't understand, after all these years, why she gets mad at him.  She's a writer, she needs something to write on since obviously a pen and paper are so last season and he does something generous and she gets mad at him?  Anyways, after "Sex and the City" went off, "Jerseylicious" came on.

I watched about 15 mins of it and I just don't get the appeal of the show.  All it's about is the life of employees at a hair salon.  How is that entertaining?  One of the girls was gonna throw a big party for her 25th birthday.  I will say that the theme for her party was pretty cool.  It was gonna be the year she was born which I think was 1987.  Pretty cool theme.  I was a bit surprised when she said her age 'cause I thought she had to be at least 10 years older than that.  Lay off the tanning girl!  After that, I shut it off.  If I want to see people at a party, I'll go to one or throw one myself.

The majority of reality shows are about normal, regular, everyday people doing normal, regular, everyday things that interest them.  Where is the entertainment in that?  Also, it's so sad that so many channels that use to have really good programming have gone to almost nothing but reality shows.  Even GSN (game show network) started airing "Dancing w/ the Stars".  How is that a game show?

I would love to see this genre just go away.  "Dancing w/ the Stars", "The Bachelor" and shows like that that are more competition can stay but these ones about regular people need to go and fast!  Bring back scripted programs w/ actors and actresses.  You know, real talent?  I'm dreaming again, aren't I?   lol
