Reality TV

 

               We all watch reality TV and we all have our own favorite show to watch. My personal favorite shows to watch are Pawn Stars and Duck Dynasty. Half of the reality TV shows aired I dislike, for they use fights to get more viewers. Although a fight breaking out in a TV show is entertaining at times, some of these shows all they air is drama related. Each episode of these shows always has something to do with a person being mad at another person for some stupid reason. I understand it is fun to watch other people’s problems and gossip unfold on TV, but overtime these shows become repetitive to the point the viewer’s know what’s going to happen. In the other hand, the reason I enjoy watching the show Pawn Stars is because I learn a lot. They give history on items being sold, bought, and pawned to the audience as well as how the certain item are used. They bring in specialized experts to give their personal opinion as to how much a certain product is worth in the current market. The show doesn’t get as repetitive as other shows get. There always showing different items followed by some history and use of the item. I think Pawn Stars is a great show and gives knowledge to the viewers. Duck Dynasty is my second favorite show. These show revolves around a southern family from the swamps of Louisiana that made millions of dollars from making/selling duck calls. For those who don’t know, a duck call is sort of like a whistle in a way except in the duck call you have to blow it a certain way to make the quacking noise a duck makes. I enjoy watching this show because unlike other family shows Duck Dynasty doesn’t revolve around family drama. They only show the fun times they as a family have together. There’s never to fights going on between two relatives or jealousy going around it’s all about a family having fun enjoying what they like to do best, which is hunt duck. I also really enjoy the show because they all seem to be acting like they would act on a regular day. They aren’t acting like someone they are not just for the cameras. I see a lot of shows where you can just tell there acting for the camera. Portraying themselves as someone they are not. I believe some reality TV shows are just the worst for society. Some of these shows are just dumbing down society. Especially when teenagers watch these shows and see all the drama and fights that occur and believe that’s how they should be acting. Most reality TV shows are not meant to be taken serious but yet there’s people that want to try and follow in the footsteps of their favorite character and live that lifestyle. Reality TV shows are not the best thing to watch but some are beneficial to watch like Pawn Stars but there’s always going to be more drama related TV shows because America loves watching other peoples gossip and drama unfold.
