[QUOTE="witzend, post: 545017, member: 99"] husband & I don't watch any reality shows, including American Idol type things. They're not reality. They make up situations and expect the people on them to react in the [I]worst[/I] possible way. I've never had a one of them on my television even for a moment. Fighting, backstabbing, lazy kids laying around partying and getting paid for it? Not my bag. DWTS? There has never been a contestant that interested me, and there are some that downright offend me. Rigged voting. Nope nope nope nope nope not going to watch [I]ever. [/I]I do watch [I]some [/I]HGTV type home improvement shows, I like Auction Kings but not Storage Wars (too staged and what they say they're going to get out of that stuff in the storage locker is a[I] big fat lie. [/I]I'm also hooked on true crime as an escape. Like Dudley Do-Right, they always get their man. But episodic TV is what I love, so long as it's done well. I especially love British Mysteries and am so disappointed that all BBC America runs anymore is Top Gear and Gordon Ramsey. I get my fixes from DVD's at the library and from Netflix. [/QUOTE]
