+Dave Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Another freakin's Survivor show...... oh for the love of God and everything Holy on this Earth, smite this show down before we have to endure another season of it. For hate's sake, I stab at thee!... Quote
+FastCargo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 That's the problem with a writer's strike. FastCargo Quote

tank03 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Another freakin's Survivor show...... oh for the love of God and everything Holy on this Earth, smite this show down before we have to endure another season of it. For hate's sake, I stab at thee!... I watched the some of the first season of survivor because I thought that's what they would be doing. You know, finding food, building shelter, etc. I didn't realize it was some sort of competitive game show that could just as easily be filmed in an office building than some exotic location. I mean, the producers either give or withhold everything they need/use so why do they really need to be out in the jungle? They could lock them anywhere and do the same thing. Haven't wached it since. Quote
super61 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I'll take another season of Survivor (regrettably) if it would only make X disappear from the face of the earth (insert drug/alcohol/pregnant- addled 20 something tv/movie starlet here) Quote
sparkomatic Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 lucky I have my DVD set of ATHF, Dr Who, and @si@n vixens ! Quote

Haven't wached it since. exactly. The first couple were good, up to the pirate one, and it just went downhill from there. Quote
maverickHR Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 You should be happy, you dont know what do we have to watch in croatia.... Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 ...or in Russia. Well, it's mostly just ripoffs of Western shows. Though I doubt you have something BigBrother-ish lasting for errm.. let me seee.. 3 years and no end date has ever been announced. I'm glad I don't watch TV. Quote
+DWCAce Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 You want survior? Let a plane crash (preferably an antonov or illuysion..) or dump them on an island. Come back in a year or so. Quote

+FastCargo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 lucky I have my DVD set of ATHF... Hahaha! The only way I can own that is if I buy it for my PSP... FastCargo Quote

I'll go laong with you on that one! Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 You're all missing the point!! You're supposed to watch the show and then realise that: "No matter how bad things can be from time to time, at least I'm not on the 'Real World'!!" I gotta give credit where credit's due. When I watch these, I never feel bad about myself... Quote
ironroad Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I think they need to fire every writer, because the past four years of tv has been the same recycled crime drama/ sex in the city/ reality show garbage. The writers have not been missed. Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I don't get how you have reality shows that are scripted! On the plus side, thanks to reality TV, we get shows like The Soup that take the p*ss outta them. Quote

+DoctorQuest Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I would recommend everyone watch the movie "Network". It is a frightening predictor of what we are currently experiencing. Quote
ironroad Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 You haven't been watching Battlestar Galactica then... FastCargo I have seen a few of the new series they are pretty decent... Quote
sparkomatic Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Wait...there are writers? BSG? I really enjoy that one...man, the terrorists-based episodes were hard for me, but then that was their point...not afraid to tackle difficult issues...and there Olmos rocks! Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Wait...there are writers? man, I hate it when people steal my posts. you know what they say about 1000 monkeys and 1000 typewriters.... put 'em in a room and in five hours you'll have a better script than anything on TV right now. Quote
sparkomatic Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 isnt the last writers strike what spawned the "reality" based shows anyway...so why are they striking so soon again? They are getting worse than the MLB/NBA Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 isnt the last writers strike what spawned the "reality" based shows anyway...so why are they striking so soon again? They are getting worse than the MLB/NBA I wouldn't say so, at least not like those greedy NBA bastards! (Except for Chris Webber, he's the best player in the league and therefore exempt from criticism). But seriously, the writers are getting screwed when something they produce is sold online and they don't see any cash for it... Quote
tank03 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I don't get how you have reality shows that are scripted! On the plus side, thanks to reality TV, we get shows like The Soup that take the p*ss outta them. From what I've heard, the writers on reality shows kind of review what's going on with the "cast" and then plan/write scenarios to hopefully prod things along and create conflict/tension (which supposedly makes good TV). For instance, on Survivor, if they notice certain "cast" arguing over food, they could "write" in a scenario in which the camera guys pay special attention to those cast during dinnertimes or during food challenges. Though I would hardly call that writing. Quote
