Serialized storytelling, the defining characteristic of soap operas, has completely taken over dramatic TV. Pretty much everything is a soap opera or a reality TV show.
I know, I know... you're talking about those low budget nonsense daytime shows, but still. |

Yup. Reality TV is the new soap opera.

Hard to tell, but a lot of women are really into it. As far as I can tell (just a guess) it's the romantic escape aspect of it, but who the hell knows? Whenever my wife would tune into that crap, I would come into my office and jump on-line. Talk about garbage TV.

I’m guilty of that some too. Nothing near as terrible as the bachelor but I’ve turned stuff on that didn’t ask too much of me as a viewer. I think another aspect is how outrageously reeruned it is. Much like how otherwise reasonable individuals watch political shit. I’ll be honest. I’ll judge a politics watcher before a bachelor watcher. |
