I'm referring more to all these hole-in-the-wall reality pieces of shit that have come out lately and are coming out more and more all the time. Like this 'Buckwild' on MTV as I said, it's just a bunch of country twenty-somethings actiing like morons, sluts and drunken idiots. Then there's all the shows glorifying teen girls who get pregnant. And like someone said the shows of idiot mothers who dress their 10 yr old daughters up like painted whores in these dance and pageant shows.
Real Housewives or Iran? (AKA "Shahs of Sunset") Come on!

TV shows don't try to target a mass audience anymore. Producers build niche specific ideas & engineer drama. the producers can't tell what will sell, so they produce a lot of crap & see what shit floats. So a big hit always conjures up copycats. pawn stars, deadliest catch, real housewives, jersey shore, all have spinoffs & copycats as everyone is chasing the same viewer who is momentarily captivated by the latest trend of the TV engineers. honey boo boo is awful, but a genius show if you are a TV producer.
so i guess im saying, blame the viewer, because the producers just cook up a lot of shit & its the viewer that keeps bad shows going.
