Yes, about 5 or six years ago, a television genre called "reality TV" boomed. With much watched shows, such as Big Brother and Survivor, along with the Amazing Race, it seemed to be a great thing...for CBS, a couple months/years later, FOX tried to do it, it was a step they shouldn't have taken, now with rediculous shows like: "Joe Millionare", "The Bachlor/ette", "MY Big FAt Obnoxious Fiance" and worst of all "The Swan", Fox has done it again trying to create "Trading Spouces" Folks it was good on Dave Chappele, but now they're actually trying it, I've seen the previews, and it ain't finna be pretty.

What are your views on FOX's attempt?

I personally think that FOX ruined reality TV, they gave BB, AR, and Survivor a bad name.
And this next one is going to be rediculous, please stick with sitcoms, and news

Reality TV sucked to begin with.

I hate FOX, Meth&REd, and the News (local) are about the only good programs on there.

CBS is ok, I only watch Amazing Race, and Big Brother, sometimes

which is why the summer is about the only time you'll find my TV on CBS. I actually tried to sign up for Big Brother but they rejected me. Andre said he would actually try to join that.

Everyother reality show, I hate

An attack on Fox's "reality" programming from an unlikely source.....another network that depends on "reality" programming.

ABC is doing the same thing with something called Wife Swap.

And Chappelle'll be calling them up for royalties checks before you know it.

Fox gave Monica Lewinsky a reality show. Called Mr. Personality.

Fox, just do what you do best and put on more Simpsons!!
Beware of Redneck.
