See how I can reply to my own comment here? In the Late Comment Zone you can post comments with impunity.
Here we are, more than 30 comments down, in what I like to call the “Late Comment Zone”. Typically anything written below this line will be ignored as more new content has filed in above it. It’s the Last Call with Carson Daily of commenting.
Classic Late Comment Zone right here.
Maybe I am taking this post too seriously, but here are my two cents:
I don’t think reality TV has the power to shape our values, because that gives something frivolous more power than it deserves. No, I don’t think TV is better because of reality TV being so terrible. It simply exists because people like tabloids.
Is this a campaign against Reality TV? Hardly, but to argue that I or anyone else somehow NEEDS to or SHOULD apologize to TV made for the purposes of Schadenfreude simply for not liking it or talking trash about it is silly. Some people simply are not entertained by game shows, contests, or other programs that display some hyper-dramatized version of reality.
Is it damaging? I don’t know. I don’t really think so, because it has an audience, and that audience enjoys it. That’s the point of TV or entertainment in general yes? I hardly think it should be abolished, but I am never going to enjoy it. I dislike the format and I don’t appreciate being lumped into a category simply for finding it stupid and distasteful.
Garbage in, garbage out.
