what's up with today's tv?

[Mimi LaPiana]

Recently I was watching "The Hills," and I was wondering what is up with all these trashy shows? It seems that now-a-days every popular show is not normal. Whether you are watching "Jersey Shore," "The Girls Next Door," "Keeping up with the Kardasians," "Teen Mom" you have to be able to realize their behavior is not normal. I wonder if they are putting on a show for the cameras or is that the way they normally act?

A perfect example is Spencer Pratt. What is his problem? He is mean to his sister, Heidi's sister, her family. Is his attitude the same on and off camera? People have said these shows are scripted but it’s supposed to be a reality tv. What about "Jersey Shore" are their personalities real or fake? Don’t get me wrong I enjoy these shows but how trashy are they going to get? When is enough, enough?

Making a season 2 of Jersey Shore - a little too far. Soon enough, Snooki is going to become a household character and influencing young girls the inproper way to act in public. I agree these shows are hillarous, but we could be doing much more fun and exciting things with our lives instead of keeping up with The Hills! :)

I think all of it is trashy, but yet i still watch the shows and think there hilarious, i wonder if its more of how trashy is to far or the question of why do we even find these shows funny

I personally have never watched "The Hills" and have only watched one or two episodes of "Jersey Shore." A lot of tv shows these days are all about reality tv. Some of these shows are just so trashy that I dont even understand why the show was created in the first place. And why do these people want to be on that kind of show in the first place is hard for me to understand. But i would like to know if that is they way there really act or if its just the way there are for the show.

I personally think it's all trash already. I can't believe some of the things these people do on television and i don't even watch the shows. I hear about all this stuff from my sister and everytime she tells me something i ask her the same question, "why do you watch that garbage?"
