My goal here is to find out if watching other peoples lives is of real interest.
I watched the show about the short people 3 times and lost interest.
2 times for the couple with the litter of kids.
1 time of the Bi Gal who wants to hook up with male and female.
10 minutes of the black twins hooking up with women.
10 minutes watching Hulk Hogan.
1 time watching Dog.
How many of you find this type of programing of real interest?
Curious minds wish to know.

The only one I watched with any regularity was Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Right up until he had that phone message gaff.

have only watched it once since then.

Actually they are my favorite shows, including some of the ones you just mentioned.

Little People Big World
John and Kate plus 8
The Biggest Loser
American Idol
Ice Road Truckers
Ghost Hunters

I am a people watcher by nature....used to have hours of fun watching people board and deboard airplanes and making up stories about where they were going to and coming from. I think these types of shows fulfill my curiosity about how others live. I realize most are scripted, but I still like them.

I never even heard of any of those shows you mentioned.

The extent of my t.v. watching is limited to sports, news, and jeopardy.

I just DVR them and watch them when I have time. That way I can speed through the commercials....laugh

I used to be a big fan of:

Survivor
The Surreal Life &...
...does anyone remember the one on SPIKE TV called Joe Schmo? That was hilarious!

But now...ah...not so much. I hate being tied down to anything...well, there may be a few exceptions...devil

Hell's Kitchen and Survivorman. These are also educational, so I'm not completely wasting my time. Well, Hell's Kitchen teaches very little about cooking, but Chef Ramsey cracks me up with his flaring temper.laugh

Occasionally I'll watch Celebrity Rehab/Sober House, because it's funny to watch grown adults act like little babies.bigsmile
