I’m most of the way with you on that, and agree with everything you listed, but I really like Gator Boys (which ain’t fake) and I somewhat like Pawn Stars. (which somewhat is)
This, I can totally get behind. I haven’t watched a minute of that show or all the others like it, but somehow I still have to hear about them from multiple sources as if they were somehow important or significant topics worthy of discussion.
I can answer this without ever having watched the show.
No. (It’s “here” BTW)
It’s bullshit combined with cold-reading skills.
Yes, probably combined with the con-artist and cold-reading skills.
Or - The Biggest War of Real Housewives. That’d sell tickets.
*COPS *bugs me as do all the aforementioned ‘reality’ shows. Hell, the shows on truTV are re-creations, even worse than scripted shows.
COPS
“Redneck TV”
Ghost Hunters
Yes thanks I couldn’t have figured the difference between here and hear on my own. :rolleyes: You’re right. If you haven’t watched the show you really can’t give an educated opinion on it.
I have seen the show, and she’s a piss-poor cold reader.
Oprah. Thank god she’s off network TV and has her own station I can avoid.
Sooooooo sick of her holier-than-thou I-know-how-to-deal-with-life attitude. And, especially, annoying when she speaks with someone she repeats her statement/question. Yeah, I know it’s a technique for emphasis. I just find it freaking annoying as do I her best friend Gayle.
Make them both go away. Please.
There’s one I saw an ad for that blew me away. It’s for people who bid on unclaimed luggage left at the airport. I mean, seriously? That’s interesting to enough people to warrant having a show about it?
“Clothes, socks…a watch! Jackpot!”
Has everybody forgotten the worst and most rotten shows on the face of the planet? All of the parents involved in both Toddlers and Tiaras and Dance Moms are on my list of people who need to thrown in a cage full of angry honey badgers. That is a very short list. Other than that the shows that bother me most are the ones like Idol or the Kardashians, which get an incredible amount of gossip and news surrounding them, to the point of virtually drowning every other subject.
Elenore Roosevelt by a mile.
Now you’re learning! 
You don’t need to watch some stupid reality show to know that speaking to the dead is bullshit and mediums are con-artists. In fact, the less of that kind of show you watch, the *more *educated your opinion on the matter would tend to be.
Hear here!
You may think that not watching reality shows puts you on some kind of pedestal. It does not.
:rolleyes:
I thought this thread was about TV shows?
I have a tiny, mild curiousity as to whether she is delusional or a straight-out con artist, but finding out would involve watching her show, which might prove fatal (then she could tell me directly!).
My money’s on Queen Elizabeth having the stamina to outlast Mrs. Roosevelt.
Entertainment is where I find it.
Every single show mentioned in this thread.
:rolleyes:
Jeez, you people are really driven batshit insane by the mere existence of these shows?
A lot of these shows I have no interest in watching at all. So I don’t. That’s all it takes. Just don’t watch them if you don’t like them. If other people like that sort of thing, let them watch. No skin off my nose that the show exists.
So far, the only sensible objection is the fake medium show.
