Also, I notice a dearth of reality shows in everyone's lists. Do you not watch, or do you not admit it?



Hey Geezer.
Does Mythbusters count as a reality show..? If so I watch that... I love that show! That's about the one job, other than my current one, that I would consider a dream job.

When I think of reality shows I think of folks behaving badly for the camera, or folks competing against each other in singing, losing weight, being an ass, etc.

I don't consider Mythbusters and the like to be "reality TV", based on that criteria, although that may seem a fine distinction.

For example, I consider "Storage Wars" to be a "reality" show since it's more about the competition between characters for storage units, but I don't consider "Auction Hunters" as "reality" because it's more about the stuff they find. This even though both are technically about folks trying to make a buck buying abandoned storage units.

Hey Malsdoxy. I know what you mean about Alcatraz. I'm sticking with it. But I had hoped they'd fill it with character, yet they persist with the mystery in a predictably evasive manner.

Has nobody learnt from Joss about EARNING the right to take a story in an unconventional direction!

The Killing was renewed and the second season begins soon. The producer promised to reveal the killer in the second season.

Indeed, it's still one of my favourite "conspiracy" series.

(Though it actually came out years ago; it's a Canada/South Africa copro. Apparently it only reached Syfy last year.)
