Get real with Reality TV
By Kacy Carr
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.
