Is this show for real??

[/pine]

I often compare the average (lack of) intelligence of the (voting) electorate to the popularity of TV shows and the personalities that infatuate them (voters)

they seem to go hand in hand...

BTW Duck Dynasty is one of few exceptions of the inane...

Yep watches half an episode and went back to doomsday preppers. DD is rednecks with to much money and no work ethic. But hey I like it for just the crazy stuff you could do if you were a rich redneck from the bayou

Reality shows have taken over the Airwaves. I like to watch the History Channel and Nat Geo.

I don't know how I forgot Mythbusters!
I honestly tried to watch Duck Dynasty but it was too ridiculous to be believable. Two of them were "turkey hunting". They were cutting up and being stupid when lo and behold several turkeys show up on queue.
I exclude *some* sitcoms from the statement about TV being stupid.

My girlfriend's kids love that show, they are hispanic and I'm the only real life country boy they know. I saw that episode and thought the same thing. Those turkeys wouldn't be within 2 miles of those yahoos.

I don't think any of the "Reality" shows on TV are "reality"...figments of a producer's imagination.
They seem to be pretty popular for some reason though...

I couldn't watch the Amish show. Just odd.
I do LOVE the Brit Top Gear though as mentioned earlier.

I have not seen one episode nor will I. I have been working with and have been neighbors to Amish and Mennonite families over the years. Just because some pos can put up a show like that does not make it right.

I am of the understanding the Amish don't allow photographs of themselves. So, if they won't allow pictures taken, I doubt they'd allow TV cameras...especially since TV isn't in their agenda either.
So, the "stars" of this raggedy show (which I admit...never watched it) are probably paid hack actors.

Anybody watch Dual Survival? They replaced Dave with some new hot shot to go with Cody. I don't mind these shows....with Man vs Wild and such...but I can't stand all the commercials.

That was because Dave lied about his qualifications.
Wasn't Bear (Man vs Wild) the one they found out slept in hotels?
Survivorman with Les is my favorite.
