Lets get back to fake TV and reality breasts

Television seems to have fallen into the 'Reality' trap. Where are the good stories and proper investigative journalism? What happening to great shows and programs that stimulated and challenged us?

I am sick to death of turning on the television to hear another moronic American going "Oh my God" at something inane on another inane Reality show. We are inundated with them. I simply can't be bothered with Survivor Outer Mongolia. The first 2 were interesting, but not any more. And as for South African Survivor - aggh. Contrived and embarrasing!

I understand why the TV channels love reality TV. You set up a concept, throw in a bunch of different people, point the camera at them and the show makes itself. Very clever, but very boring after a while. Big Brother has to be the very worst television. I refuse to ever watch cretins becoming celebrities. Who cares who pooped in the garden?

Where are the great story tellers and program makers? Have they all been retired off in favour of this mindless crap? Come on MNet and SABC, give us some entertainment worth watching. Stimulate and challenge us. Don't show me life. I get enough of that all day. We need escape and fun. Stop being lazy, because that is all Reality TV is, lazy program making
