Article Body:

Reality TV is far from educational but you have to admit 
 
that they are damned well good fun to watch.

I can not speak for others and I have no jurisdiction over 
 
television stations that air these types of programme. 
 
However this type of entertainment can be very fulfilling 
 
in providing pleasure to viewers who get withdrawal 
 
symptoms should they not get their weekly fix of reality 
 
TV.

Then we have the vast majority who find it all so false 
 
and irritating.
 
Who do you please? A catch 22 situation,

Why the big issue over the showing of these series is 
 
beyond me. No one twists your arm up your back to 
 
view the antics of the Big Brother house; no one holds 
 
your head steadfast while you squirm at the creepy 
 
crawlies swallowed by the inhabitants of the Australian 
 
jungle.

There is no imposed law out there stating that you the 
 
viewer have to watch this garbage as some would see 
 
it. Millions of people tune into their favourite channels 
 
and are content to watch what they enjoy, and if reality 
 
TV is one of those channels, then so be it.
 
Freedom of choice, so many laws out there dictating 
 
how we run our lives with out some critic sticking the oar 
 
in to scrap reality television all because it is not 
 
educational.

If people want educating then surely they will tune into 
 
the discovery channel, where they get to see the 
 
gruesome remains of bodies unearthed for DNA testing.

For updates as to what is going on around the world we 
 
have the CNN news showing the bombings in Iraq 
 
followed by flashes of pictures of bony skeletal starving 
 
kids in Africa.

Crime watch another awareness programme on how to 
 
catch a thief or nail a mugger while they load up a mug 
 
shot on our screens of the bloodied battered face of the 
 
80 year old woman mugged for her pension. Sorry I 
 
have done enough crying for the day watching all that 
 
suffering. 
 
If reality TV can generate a strong presence of pleasure 
 
and put a smile on the faces of millions who enjoy this 
 
type of entertainment, then leave it be.

To much crying in the world today and if reality TV takes 
 
on the role of being clown for the evening to put a smile 
 
on your face then make sure to tune in every week.

Remember you will always get the critic or the anti 
 
reality TV person ready to wipe the smile of your face. 
 
Well for those people against, face up to reality and deal 
 
with it, as it is here to stay.
