Subject: My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Yes, another new reality program on FOX. This time, a beautiful woman will be offered one million dollars if she convinces her parents that she wants to marry a boorish, loud-mouthed lummox who likes to run around half-naked. This has got to be a new low in reality. :(
Subject: Re: My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Yes reality TV cant get much lower. Im not even one bit curious about this one.
Subject: Re: My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Another contender of a future "Worst Show" list... :P

Thats sort of how I feel about all the reality shows like that.
They are so not reality. Who has an entire production crew following them around? Not to mention the fact that all the "reality" is mostly creative post-production editing anyway.
But regarding this show being the worst of the worst, my vote still goes to that ABC show a few years ago called "Are You Hot' (remember Lorenzo "scumbag" Lamas and his laser pen? ::)). That was the lowest.
But I'm sure this one will definitely be down there with it.

Are you Hot?It was a rip off of Howard Stern when he and his crew evaluate women.They even stole the laser pointer part ::)

Subject: Re: My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Television has changed over the past 20 years.Watching TV was fun in 1984.You had a variety of shows like Cosby,Family Ties,Three's Company,etc...Now you have all this crap that no one really wants to watch anymore. >:(

TV is better than ever. There's more variety than ever before. It's an entertainment wonderland. Sure, there's plenty to dislike. There's just MORE of everything. Also, some "reality" shows suck, but some are great. All-star Survivor? I'm there, baby. Also, the first few episodes of American Idol where they really humiliate the wannabes are not to be missed. I can't believe I'm here reading all this whining instead of watching the South Park box sets I got for Christmas.

Lol. I'm agreeing with Claude Prez :o.
I don't like reality television (there is one British reality show called 'Shattered' in which the person that stays awake the longest wins a money prize - Yawn indeed).
I think there is some great television out there. The Office, Phoenix Nights, The Simpsons, Malcolm in the middle and Frasier to name a few.
If you don't like any new stuff. There is always repeats of your favourite programmes to watch - and a lot of it is out on DVD as Claude Prez said. I couldn't believe it when I found 'Cheers' Series 1 on DVD in Woolworths! Classic.

What's next? "My annoying worthless slut of a girlfriend"? ::) :P >:(

As long as there are people watching this stuff, they'll keep making it... and trying to one-up it. I figure the way things are going, we'll be doing something similar to Stephen King's "Running Man" and/or "The Long Walk". :P :(
Subject: Re: My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Or "Series 7"? With the full figured chick from "Silence of the Lambs".
Or "The Tenth Victim" with Ursula Andress?
