Reality TV... You know I can honestly say when a chick walks up to me and is all like "HEYYYYYYY DID YOU WATCH JERSEY SHORE LAST NIGHT," I comment back "Snookie get a punch to the face? Nah Ronnie cheated on Sammie? OH OH THE SITUATION IS IN A SITUATION, a big one?!" It is the same thing over and over again. 16 and Pregnant? I hate seeing stupid hick girls at school, what makes you think I wanna see a hick girl on a rollercoaster of hormones and emotions on tv when I leave school to escape them? What's next? 17 and Pregnant with a twist...they're getting married!!! Let me clarify, I hate all MTV reality shows, they are poorly written and are the equivalent to what is flushed down a toilet.
However there are some awesome reality tv shows that make me laugh (I am probably not supposed to). Hoarders. When you have a lady that has so many damn cats that they eat the insulation of her home and die inside her walls, you have a brilliant show on your hands. You know why? Because there are people worse than her. Who saves their dog's shed fur because "I feel like he will die if I don't do this for him." WHAT?!Who says food is still good five years past the expiration date? Only a Hoarder.
That's only one show, but there are many more I can name such as Storage Wars(they make watching an auction interesting to watch without being a part of it, throw in some dramatic music with some sweaty,sunburned overweight bidders and classic close-ups on the auctioneers mouth and you have a worthy dvr'd show) or Extreme Coupons (I hate Publix and grocery stores do to my past of working there and having to scrub Jersey Shore out of the toilets along with other miserable chores) So most people would assume that I would hate an entire show who's whole premise takes place in a grocery store; yet they showed people buying 1000 dollars worth of groceries and purchasing it under 12 dollars...My God.
My basic rule with reality tv shows,70% of the time avoid MTV and stick with A&E, TLC, Discovery, History,etc.

I love the show storage wars! I just started watching it a couple weeks ago and Im hooked on it. Its so interesting to see what treasure the bidders find in all of the different storage units. I agree with you that A&E has some of the most tasteful and interesting reality Tv shows on that air right now.
I completely agree with your take on those pointless MTV reality shows. There is honestly no point to them besides people acting like complete idiots and causing a huge drama over nothing, and they can actually revolve a whole episode or two around that little drama. I don't really watch too much t.v. anymore but when i do, I usually stick with ESPN, Discovery, or History channel.
