Reality TV
When people think of reality TV, the first thing that comes to mind is television shows encouraging and promoting people displaying poor behavior, such as The Real World, Jersey Shore, and dating shows like Bret Michael’s Rock of Love. But there is a lot more to reality TV than just that. There are all kinds of reality TV shows on the air that appeal to all kinds of people. There are shows such as Top Chef, Storage Wars, Dog the Bounty Hunter, What Not to Wear, and more. Personally, I love reality TV. My favorite shows are Dirty Jobs, Pawn Stars, and The Real Housewives. I am not usually a huge fan of shows based around people fighting and making fools of themselves, but sometimes this is entertaining. I love how reality TV can show how people living their everyday lives can be interesting and you can learn from them. Weight loss shows, and shows about people with different lifestyles (like True Life on MTV) teach you a lot about what types of people there are in the world and can make you feel differently about your own and appreciate what you have. There are also a lot of informative shows out there that teach you, which is why I like Pawn Stars and Dirty Jobs. They bring up things I have never thought about or never knew, and I always feel like I have learned something new after watching an episode. Reality TV is not all bad, and many of these shows help people change their lives for the better.

I like how you are able to look past all of the trashy mtv reality shows and see that there are other good rtv shows out there. While I do like some of the mtv rtv shows, it is obvious that they are trash, but they are entertaining. It is good to have the variety of choices out there of what to watch though. Because as you said, there are many shows out there that open your eyes to how other people live and the jobs and situations that they go through on a daily basis.
