Depends on what you call "reality"...

My guilty secret is "Design Star" and I suppose that is reality.

But I do NOT watch Survivor, The Big Race, Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, America's Got Talent, and the like...

I just do NOT enjoy watching mostly unpleasant (and untalented) people trying so desperately for their 15 minutes of fame. And even this season's "Design Stars" is failing to interest me as the participants (and teh judges) are all so *not* nice, KWIM?

That depends on your definition of reality TV. If you mean shows like "Survivor," "Jon and Kate Plus Eight," "The Biggest Loser," "The Bachelor," etc., then, no, I do not watch those shows. If, however, you mean shows like "The First 48," "Forensic Files," "Crime 360," "The Investigators," "The New Detectives," etc., then, yes, I do watch those.

I'm with you. I love those shows. I wish Discovery would just make a baby channel so they could funnel all the shows about pregnancy, birth, babies, the family with 20 kids, etc all there. Then I could see more shows I like, I used to watch Discovery Health a lot and some TLC shows but Jon & Kate and the family w/ all those kids are taking over, UHG.

My favorite is The First 48. I love that show. Dh gets kind of disturbed by some of the stories sometimes, so he goes to watch MLB. :) I wish there were newer Forensic Files, the narrator's voice is so relaxing though and it always soothes me to sleep... which sounds creepy, lol. I'm usually flipping between ID and Tru tv.

Yay. I love TV in general.

I watch: 18 Kids & Counting, The Little Couple, Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, Project Runway, Survivor, The Amazing Race, America's Best Dance Crew, Whale Wars, 16 & Pregnant, True Life, ... there's more but I can't think of it. I watch a lot of TV :-/ Let's just say it's a good thing I have a DVR that can record 4 shows at once on Thursday and Sunday during the season I need it.
