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.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

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

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.
