I spend most of my nights cooking, cleaning, talking to my family and friends. Then I take my tired ass to the shower and then to bed to watch a movie till I fall asleep.. and thats this holiday season, I just baked roughly 17 dozen cookie and am making a turkey for the fire.... I need a mind numbing show.. Matt, you should really make a show for the internet! I would so subscribe! All the proceeds go to Amnesty International! Poor Matt, he has enough on his plate..

Even if there were shows like the ones you came up with, I'm sure people would simply see them as entertainment. Just like news networks, they have made news "entertaining", with flashy titles and crazy visual sequences. Most people don't seem to care about reality, they just don't want to have to get off their asses and deal with it, or even acknoledge it, and it's sad. P.S- On a much happier note, I want to tell you that I love your work, your music is amazing. I listen to Hospital Music every day. I saw you perform in Belleville and you were incredible :) You're a wonderful performer :) I don’t have much faith in humanity as it is.

I've heard "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?", "Deal Or No Deal", and "Fear Factor" called reality shows. Is it just me or aren't these simply "Game Shows"? So would one label "Wheel of Fortune" or "Supermarket Sweep" a reality show now? It should only be classified as a reality show if it somehow involves people that do not know they are on camera. Otherwise it's just as fake as "According To Jim". I have a question:

What a waste of air time. Reality TV is far from "REAL". It's scripted and edited to make a product that the producers think will sell. I have a friend that "played" the doctor on a reality show about a musical family (Canadian/Country Music) and he told me he couldn't believe how scripted it was. TV is a joke - it's pathetic. I'd rather just watch movies and the odd news shows....maybe even Austin City Limits reruns....MTV unplugged? Flush the reality shows. Who gives a shit if Scott Baio is 45/50/80 and single.

Reality television already exists if you care to pay a subscription to watch regular people live their lives on their webcams on the internet. It's a strange sociological phenomenon that classic voyeurism/exhibitionism has become de rigeur in recent years and is acceptable when packaged as entertainment. To each their own I always say and as a free thinking individual I do not rely on televised media to enlighten, educate or inform my opinions, due to the ever-present bias of the content. Those of us who would watch documentary style, harsh-reality programming do not view television for escapism and are in the minority. Most importantly, critical thinkers are not a key demographic for advertisers as they tend to be anti-consumerism, so, the manufactured reality being offered viewers is precisely the rose-tinted picture demanded by the masses. At the risk of coming across as an arrogant, humourless twit, I hasten to add that I do enjoy Survivor and The Amazing Race as pure mindless entertainment.
