    Swear it! Never have seen any of those reality shows. I have heard through friends's chatting about Shark Tank though.

    Reason why those shows bored me can be trace back to the late 1990s when talk shows were mostly the only that one could watch on TV, then I started to watch video movies all day long, otherwise playing games.

    Later and now in the 2000s, I found enjoyable some TV series (among which many came from the late 90s) such as Nikita, First Wave, Unsolved Mysteries and Beyond Chance, these two latter series made me discover a channel devoted to air 24/7 all type of paranormal-related documentaries and I was engaged watching only this channel for about 4 years. No movies, no music, no other type of programs or channels.

    When I tried to return to watch regular TV shows, most of them reality show, I found that all those faces in there were not longer familiar to me, or that I had lost the interest to follow their lives.

    This is why those shows bores me, I'm not longer identified with the people that participate in them.

    Eh... give it a go, you'll be surprised! Sure, if you're watching Big Brother or other degrading shows that only want to show people in underwear or having sex I agree, but these days you have really interesting shows. ;)

    -Honey Boo Boo
    -Toddlers and Tiara
    -Pawn Shop
    -Amazing Race
    -Breaking Amish
    That's my short list because their are others that I do watch too.

    I wouldn't mind admitting to watching them. I don't watch reality shows often, but when I do I usually Pawn Stars, Counting Cars, and Counting cars. I rarely watch TV in general; the only show I watch often is South Park, and I watch it online.

    I think I watch Pawn Stars too... no wait, it's Pawn Shop, it's ok. My favorite is still Shark Tank, they are making a re-run of season 1 and I am loving it. ;)

    I guess I watch too much reality shows so I start having the names all mixed up. Anyway, All the new seasons are about to begin. Breaking Amish has started already and Honey Boo Boo is soon to begin. Hopefully I'll have the time to watch them all.

    I watch very little television and it is only via the web. So, no, I don't watch any "reality shows." I've seen a few whilst traveling, but they don't really float my boat.
