With the exception of a Canuck or Blue Jays game, ever since "reality" shows ruined my History Channel and Discovery Channel, I have stopped watching T.V. altogether. Even though the majority of a "reality" show is scripted, many people believe what they are watching is actually happening. As an ex-logger, I once gave a "reality" logging show a chance. About 10min. in, the owner/boss was berating an employee for losing a key bolt on a motorized shotgun carriage and the loss of production. For several minutes of this rant, one camera focused on said boss and his rant, a second camera was aimed at the remorseful employee and the third camera was zoomed into the lost bolt!??????? For the rest of the show, the majority of time was spent arguing rather than working. I am told this happens in most "reality" shows. Rant over.
