Reality Shows
Even though some people say reality shows are bad. They still watch them. Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians, are all very popular reality shows that most teenagers like to watch. My favorite reality show is keeping up with the Kardashians. This show involves all the members of the famous Kardashians family. This show is one of the few guilty pleasures of mine. I enjoy watching it because they are really funny, and they keep me interested on what’s going to happen next. Is like I have to watch every episode of it, because if I don’t I get lost and don’t know what’s happening in the show. Their was a time where I tried limiting my self to watching reality shows or any TV in general, but that didn’t really go as planned. The first days I was really motivated and hardly watched any. As weeks passed I kept on saying, “I’m only going to watch for half an hour”. I kept increasing the time gradually until I didn’t keep track of it. I was watching whole episodes of the reality shows. Now I don’t have as much time to watch TV, but I watch reality shows when ever I have a chance.
I personally think that reality shows have a good side to them but can also have a bad side. They are bad because they encourage a lot of improper language an inappropriate behavior. Reality shows make life appear as if is full of drama and luxury. They also try to excuse inappropriate behavior, by making it seem cool and in style. A great example of this would have to be Jersey Shore. This show is full of drama and involves a lot of promiscuous partying. This is what attracts a lot of audience to keep on watching the show. I really like a few of the reality shows that try to put some kind of educational purpose to it. One of the shows that does this is Teen Mom. It shows how your life can drastically change if you decide to have unprotected sex. It also shows how hard life can be if you have a baby at a young age. No matter what reality shows are always going to be popular, because people like these kinds of shows.

It's interesting when you look at the two shows you discuss in your final paragraph!! They really do present contrasting messages. don't they?
ReplyDeletei know a few people that are from jersey they tell me that they feel insulted by that show and that jersey shores makes everything think that majorty of the people there dont act like the jersey shore cast
ReplyDeleteI love teen mom. That's one of my favorite shows. I can definitely relate to those girls as I was a teen mom too.
ReplyDeleteIt just shows how most people equate reality Tv with shows like Jersey Shore. There are positive shows out there. I think it is unfortunate they don't get the atttention they deserve.
ReplyDeleteI've seen maybe two episodes of Jersey Shore and think it's the stupidest thing on television today. I have a few friends from New Jersey and they all hate that show and the negative attention it brings to their state
