Dear Big Four Network Execs, you feel compelled to air more and more so-called “reality programming”. This forces me to shift my viewing loyalty to channels where I can watch actual programs with scripts and actors. If you continue to lose money because your viewership drops off, you have only yourselves to blame. Sincerely, an Annoyed Viewer
Y’know, I’m sure reality programming is cheaper to produce, but aside from Ghost Hunters, Survivor and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, I have absolutely no desire to watch any of it. Most of them are stupid. So, given a choice between reality shows and a good book? The book’s gonna win hands down Every. Single. Time.
It’s another night of no new programming, so I’ll be watching yet more recorded shows. Which is fine. I’m still behind.
Reading: Now I’m reading Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie. This is a collection of Hercule Poirot short stories. And I know at least the first one was used for the TV series because I recognize it. 
Is DWTS a relaity program? I like that and Extreme Makover: Home Edition. That’s it. I’m not counting the many History channel shows I watch. *G* Which do you prefer of the Agatha Christie characters?
I hope you have a great day!

Don’t forget DWTS….that’s reality tv, too!
I’m in love with Leverage. Who needs reality when you have Christian Kane and Timothy Hutton?

I agree with you Amy…I luv Leverage!
I’m not into reality shows, I already have to deal with my own.

I wish more people would turn off their TVs and read books instead. I do not miss TV at all. I watch it in December for all the Christmas movies, then turn it off again!

The only “reality” show I watch is “Celebrity Rehab.” I’ll probably tune into “True Beauty” and “Sober House.” Only the lowest of the low for me.
