I don't watch what is normally considered "reality" shows. But I do watch competition shows that can launch someone's goal/dream into reality. I watch American Idol, Project Runway, and Make Me a Supermodel.

I don't watch reality tv shows, and have never gotten into them. Except America's Next Top Model.... I have no idea why, but I love that show! I am not at all into fashion, or make up, or anything like that, but I get such a kick out of ANTM

I love reality shows. I watch Big Brother, Survivor, Life with Ryan, Americas Next Dance Crew, Real World Road Rules Challenge, Celebrity Rehab w/ Dr. Drew, Wife Swap, Super Nanny, Flava Flav, That's Amore, ANTM, and prob more. I can't wait for The Mole, Tila Tequila, and The Hills to come back. All of these I mostly tape and watch a later time, most the next day, because they're on too late for me.

I agree!!! It's like I don't even care who gets evicted, whereas, I still have the finale of last season on VHS! It rocked!
I also watch Celebrity Apprentice, American Idol and CAN'T WAIT for Dancing with the Stars to start!!!

Yep I remember chatting with you last season. I think they should have stopped last season. Nothing can top it now.

Ugh! I went to my brother's this evening for dinner. OMG! He's a total reality show junky! He flips back and forth between shows and watches 2 and 3 of them at a time.

Big Brother, American Idol, Moment of Truth... back and forth, back and forth!

The closest I get to that is Ghost Hunters and a few similar shows and documentary type shows (including a few like Most Evil -on one of the Discovery channels).
I can't stand fake drama and people acting like idiots. There are better things to do with one's time then watch that - go read of book. If you want senseless drama interact with the people around you, we all have some friend or family member that's full of it.

Amen to that!

TV sucks. The only thing a television is good for is movies, video games, and some TVs series DVDs.

I watch too many -- I've watched Survivor & American Idol since they started. I like Beauty and the Geek -- The last one was the first season of Amazing race I watched.

And through watching this very real family, they are bringing awareness to everyone else that while they are small and "look different", they are just like anyone else and that there is no need to stare and point and whisper and feel sorry for them.

No one is doing stupid stunts to win a million dollars. And they aren't has been celebrites trying to revive their careers by airing their dirty laundry on television.

So I don't classify "Little People, Big World!" in the same category at all with the likes of "Survivor" or "Big Brother" et al.

I used to watch all of them. Big Brother, Survivor, Wife Swap, X-Factor, American Idol........the list goes on. Now I can't stand ANY of them. I just went right off the same formula and same idiotic people over and over again.
