It's not only America. Reality shows are all over the world with manufactured angst and drama.

It's truly disgusting and I say avoid it all. You'd be better off with a good book, music or exercise than anchored in the lounge watching TV.

1. Back in the 80s and 90s I heard people complain about how unrealistcTV shows were. Then reality shows came about. To those who complained: happy now? :D

2. Some of them (if not all) aren't that realistic. Anyone ever see Wife Swap? Terrible show!

Do you all think the lack of morality on t.v. is part of end time prophecy. Curious.

The lack of morality far preceded TV.

TV cannot be blamed for humanitys wickedness. Not which goes into the man defiles him. Its what comes out of his heart.

TV doesn't defile you.
Food doesn't defile you.
Politics doesn't defile you.

Its what's already in there that remains without change through faith on God that defiles you.

If there were no TV it'd be something else that would take its place. But TV is not the source of defilement.

Gotta agree with that. I have a road that goes to a store that sells beer. But the road didn't make me drink.

Good points. It's all about avoiding temptation. Buy the cigarettes, but not the lighter kinda thing.

Not really much "reality" in reality shows. They're ALL scripted.
I have a daughter who is a drama queen, so trust me it doesn't need to be only on TV that you will encounter this.

I agree. I have a massive TV with surround sound....... The kids watch more movies then anything. I haven't watched anything other than the weather in a while. I don't have cable either. I couldn't possibly watch that much TV anyawys to need that many channels. I don't need those distractions anyways. I don't even have my phone with me most of the time.

TV is a garbage machine. Let's talk about average drama kings and queens. There are those who revel in there own drama - the psychological term is AXIS II. However, it is important to decipher between AXIS II folks and regular people who are under a lot of stress and no longer dealing with it productively. AXIS II include, at extremes - borderline personality disorder (I hate you; I love you); Narcissistic personality disorder (I am the greatest and the most unique; I am completely dependent on you as an audience); and schizoid personality disorder ( I am fear based, afraid of you; want a relationship with you). True personality disordered folks lack insight into their condition and have a pervasive pattern of reacting to the world. Every seen Fatal Attraction - stereotypical borderline personality disorder. If you feel like someone is boiling your family pet on your stove, you are probably dealing with someone who is borderline. Narcissists are braggarts until they are exposed - then they crumble and react passively - they tend to be dependent until they recover from the pantsing and take on their old braggart persona. Schizoids are usually recluses and hide from the world - they rarely show up in therapy. Borderlines are basically 3 year olds; Narcissists are 2; schizoids are the least developed personalities - fear based - 1 year olds are younger.

Drama belongs to Borderlines - every moment is a crisis - ever relationship is framed as "I love him; I hate him" - "I long for a relationship; everyone who wants a relationship is going to reject me"; "I take control by deciding when and how to end relationships I care about because I know they will leave me eventually"; "if I cannot have him, no one can".
