Terrible Reality TV
🕑 Added 2023-10-09 16:13:58 +0000 UTCReality television is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often starring unfamiliar people rather than professional actors. Reality television emerged as a distinct genre in the early 1990s with shows such as The Real World, then achieved prominence in the early 2000s with the success of the series Survivor, Idols, and Big Brother, all of which became global franchises.[1] Reality television shows tend to be interspersed with "confessionals", short interview segments in which cast members reflect on or provide context for the events being depicted on-screen; this is most commonly seen in American reality television. Competition-based reality shows typically feature the gradual elimination of participants, either by a panel of judges, by the viewership of the show, or by the contestants themselves.

Also, regarding Jury Duty- thanks to these very individuals I actually recognized an actor (other than James Marsden) in that show. Because she played the goddamn athiest vegan in God's Not Dead.

I can't believe Eli forgot the best part of that Mystery Diners episode, which ends with the lobster activist making a run for it with a backpack full of lobsters and the camera follows him as he runs out the door and across the beach in one final, desperate attempt to liberate these last few lobsters before he's fired and presumably banned for life

Im always kinda surprised that Space Cadets ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Cadets_(TV_series) ) never seems to make.it on to these lists. I suppose it falls short on the straight up torture aspects.

Did everyone forget The Gong Show?
