One of my favorite shows would be Big Brother. I did watch the first million seasons but I have caught the last two and I have not been impressed to far with this season. 

So I was reminded yesterday that I do, indeed, watch reality shows. I love the Amazing Race. I don't see that as people doing stupid things. That show is about teamwork and being exposed to new cultures. I love that. To compare that to it's stupid counterpart. MTV's Road Rules or Real World/Road Rules Challenges. I don't like drama. Well, ones that aren't scripted. 

Hell's Kitchen is my favorite. I hate when Gordon Ramsay yells but I love food so I watch. I know it's a huge contradiction from what I said above but at the end of the day I love it. Maybe I'm a sucker for a man with an accent. Plus the fact that he cooks, fine by me.

Hired, I think, is the most responsible show on MTV right now. I do watch Teen Mom and 16 an Pregnant but not to see the train wrecks that they try to portray. I do see that MTV is trying to bring in the viewers to let them see the hardships of being a teen age parent and I think they are trying to help but most of their shows are immature and I think they lost their way as a music channel. Hired is a great mature show. These kids coming up in the world today needs to know how to be adults and live in the adult world. After the Spring Break parties and and Real World Moments young adults need to know how to be responsible and get a job. The what to do's and what not to do's is great. MTV gives me hope with this show.

I just checked out one of my favorite tv websites today: Futon Critic. They have all the info on what shows are canceled or being picked up. For a tv-a-holic like myself, I know what I'm watching and when. Well, I just found out 6 shows I watch have been canceled. I knew Dollhouse (Fox) and Miami Medical (CBS) was done but the Deep End, Flash Forward, the Forgotten (ABC) and Mercy (NBC) totally took me by surprise.

Whatever happened to the shows that made it, at least, past 6 eps. You get all set to watch a show and find it's been replaced by Got To Dance, Arranged Marriage and Dating in the Dark. Have we lost good quality shows with actual actors in favor to reality tv.The CW is even doing a show called Shedding for the Wedding. WTF.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I like watching tv, you know the shows, the ones with paid actors giving me entertainment. I'm over attention-seeking fame whores doing stupid stuff and embarrassing their family for money. If I wanted that I'd see a Jim Carrey Movie.
