I just heard a blurb of this mentioned on FOX News a few minutes ago.

I guess "The Reality Channel" is just one one more channel I won't be watching on my DirecTV. :D

Isn't there already a "reality" network called MTV.  ::)
Real World/Road Rules marathons, Fanatic,
Osbournes, Cribs, True Life, etc. actually sums up 85% of the network. With little or no video air play.
Nevermind, TRL & 3 South aren't reality based rubbish, but those two shows are still  bad, in my opinion.

Good.  Lump it all in one spot so it's easier to ignore.

They already have those, Howard.  You usually have to pay for them by the hour. ;)

Scroll down at this last link and look at all the victims suing and their reasons and you will see why I think shows like these should be canned.  People are pushing the limits and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a "Running Man" (the Stephen King book, not the Arnie movie) type of show occuring in our future.  Although the ending in the book was pretty good, our anti-hero kills the air crew of a fully fuelled 767 and crashes it into the TV channel companies high rise offices (shades of Sept 11th ?) and wiping out the producers.

A pox on on thou, Reality Television! Thou art a plague beyond human comprehension and understanding! Get the hence, foul beast of hades, or thou shalt feel my blade ere the mountains crumble to dust at the feet of the almighty!

We hates it forever! We hates it forever!!!!

Why pay for them when you watch them for free on HBO and Showtime OR if you have VOD(Video On Demand).Just tune in at anytime and watch a nice R rated movie.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of what I like to call the, "Cinemax by day - Skinamax by night" channel  :o



You know what kind of reality show I would like to see?  

I would like to see a show based entirely on a seedy trailer park in a bad neighborhood.  I mean think about it, you would have all the domestic front lawn battles, drunk idiots, meth labs, toothless grins, more Camaros than you can imagine, red wood decks for those hot dog Bar-B-Ques, but most of all Mullets in all shapes & sizes!!!  

This people, is the kind of reality show we need!  Because the last time I checked, the word "Reality" means one of the following:

-real existence: actual being or existence, as opposed to an imaginary, idealized, or false nature

-all that actually exists or happens: everything that actually does or could exist or happen in real life

-something that exist or happens: something that has real existence and must be dealt with in real life  

And sorry, I don't see how Joe Millionaire or Survivor fits into any of those definitions!

I agree with Lester -- only I think I'll chose the 'watch grass grow' channel instead!  If they do this, they should move all reality shows to it, and get them off the regular networks.  Maybe then good new shows like Miracles wont get squashed by the Reality addicts.   :P

An all-reality channel should be based on life's experiences with other people.
