Some reality shows can be mildely entertaining. The Simple Life was funny from time to time (the few episodes I watched). Watching two over-privileged girls have a difficult time turns out to be pretty funny.

Fox Televisons latest production "The Littlest Groom" is just plain weird.

Other than that I really do not understand why reality shows are so popular. If you put a bunch of strangers in a closed environment with many stressors of course their going act pretty shocking. People seem to be highly interested in watching other people fight, as if they don't do enough of that in real life.

Some shows seem to bring forward some pretty bad stereotypes.
Example: MTV's production Rich Girls. I watched one episode of this piece of crap and it successfully confirmed every stereotype I have ever had about kids from well-to-do famlies. Because everyone knows there is nothing like watching a seveteen year old girl go on a $3000 shopping spree every other day.

Like said before: Thank God for digital cable. At least there's 400 other channels with slightly less crappy programming.
