The crap is spreading to other networks. Even NatGeo is going to have some bs show about gypsies.

They call it 'Reality-TV Noir'

This means scripted, staged and everyone involved is a paid actor (including anyone with their face blurred).

I'm not aware of any unstaged/unscripted shows on the network and 1000 ways to die and the who's the deadliest warrior show are shameful enough to make me exhale liquid.

Even the American Guns shows are fake. :aok
 I saw a guy firing an M72A2 LAW (Light Anti-tank Weapon for you civvies).
He was shooting a car. Funny, when he "fired" it, there was no backblast :rofl :rofl
Anyone who served and fired a LAW knows about the backblast, and in firing sequence
"clearing" the backblast area, where his family and coworkers were standing.  :rofl :rofl
They would have been seriously messed up, had it been a real LAW :aok
Reality shows are all scripted and BS.

                                                                                                                                       :cheers: Oz

Even without that the huge gasoline explosions from mortars / Law hits is a instant giveaway :)

The woman who bought CourtTV and changed it to TruTV is remarkable in a marketing sense, she puts these crappy low budget shows to rebuild the network, or find "reality shows" so horrible, but in fact extremely cheap.

In a sense she's a genius in marketing that crappy tv station, however nothing on it is worth watching.

Hardcore pawn? yeah ok - taking Pawn Starts and giving it a twist by putting it in the ghetto with fake acting.
