Bad taste TV: "Spot the homosexual!"

[huedell]

Sounds like a Monty Python bit.

SNL had a "Jew Or Not A Jew" thing a few years back.

None of the 'reality shows' are really worth my time.. Sorry.

[Hector]

American Chopper, Overhaulin', American Hotrod, Deadliest Catch... those are on my list too, other than that I pretty much pass on these reality TV shows

The Deadliest Catch is great too (as well as American Hotrod).

Have you seen Dirty Jobs? That's another great one, lol.

These shows are cool because they are interesting, I love seeing people build a complete car restoration for a worthy subject (like a cancer survivor) in a week, or catch crab in the dangerous frozen Arctic Sea, or people working hazardous and thankless jobs that we take for granted...shows that have meaning and a purpose...not these other slimy shows that are seedy and nothing but tabloid worthless garbage...like Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire, or other similar garbage...those make me ill to my stomach.


P.S. Meule...I didn't know you liked classic American cars...a lot of Europeans look down on them.

Cash cab is cool. If you lucky to hail the Cash Caba, you get ask question on the way to your destination. You get questions right, you win money. Miss a three? question they dump out on the street and you have to haul another cab.

Dirty Jobs is where I draw the line. Miami Ink is another favorite of mine.

And yeah Hec, I do like classic American cars. If I was rich, I'd have a different one for each day of the week

I also like Miami Ink...but I HATE LA Ink...I can't stand Kat "Bubble Head" Von D.

I like a lot of shows mentioned here, but I never considered them "reality shows" ie ..

Dirty Jobs
The Survivor Man shows
Mythbusters
Anthony Bourdain
the guy who eats anything show on Food Channel
and even American Chopper

Yeah, most of the time "reality show" refers to them weird gameshow shows. Stuff like "Dirty Jobs" is more like a doccumentary series. I could never get into the game show ones, stuff like "Survivour," or "Big Brother," or any of the "Who Wants To...." shows. I find the wqhole idea of playing people off against each other distateful; sort of like a soap opera in real life. Distasteful 'cos it's NOT real life, but it's billed as such. (One month of footage edited down to 13 hours isn't real.) And I think it's abhorrant that the selling point is that you get to watch the suffering of real people.

what about Cities of the Underground on the History channel? on of my faves

[kryptosmaster]

Diners, drive-ins & dives is pretty neat.
Have to admit I'm hooked on Amazing race, Survivor & American Idol but I can't stand shows like Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars & Big Brother.

I HATE Rock of Love...I hope a nuke detonates on that set and desintegrates everyone associated with that show.

That's a good one too.

Hey, anybody saw all 12 episodes of Jurassic Fight Club on the History Channel?

YouTube - Jurassic Fight Club - Tyrannosaurus

Awesome 12 part documentary...I wanna get the boxed DVD set.

I also like Miami Ink...but I HATE LA Ink...I can't stand Kat "Bubble Head" Von D.

But you gotta admit she does some amazing work
