this is bad news.

NO!

It's :goodnews: !!!

The world has ended.

Duck Dynasty was the last big hit though.

I wish Reality TV would be over and we could get back to real TV shows. Reality has taken over 'In My Opinion'. With that said, it won't happen. They will continue to run Reality into the ground with anything they can come up with. :rolleyes: :(

To quote David Hyde Pierce "I think reality shows are crap." I'm glad to hear this news if it's true. Bring back real TV with people who make their living entertaining people.

I do know I am completely and totally fed-up with the Talent Shows.

I'm not shedding a tear. You know reality tv, mainly Survivor, because it was one of the first ones, killed soap operas, game shows, sitcoms and anything else. The entire landscape of tv scheduling and how its done changed because of Reality TV.

i wouldn't have minded reality TV - had it meant we'd still get more traditional multi-cam sitcoms with an audience laughter track on the 4 main networks. but that is not the case today and in the last 10 years or so.

i want the US TV landscape to be like it was during the 1990s period, when the big 4 had an abundance of sitcom shows. even though some of them weren't great.

hope not...I may be the only one but I realy like it...

this reminds me of the tabloid talk show era of the 1990's, people had a backlash against the genre as well, because of the trashiness

trashy reality got replaced by a universally appealing reality show such as duck dynasty.

actually the real world was the very first one and it was the beginning of the end of television as we know it.

Talent shows aren't reality shows. Talent shows are a genre in themselves.

With the exception of Xena, Frasier and Seinfeld, the 90's were the worst years for TV. :lol:

I liked the 90's sitcoms, game shows, and cartoons...

But for Reality Shows gone with the wind...

:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

Both broadcast and pay-TV continue to lose viewers. Streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu among others are becoming more and more popular. People are fed up with lame programming and excessive advertising, and TV execs can't figure out why they are losing their viewers. :confused:

It's not dying fast enough for me!

I don't mind reality shows like COPS. It doesn't make instant stars of the police and criminals and there's no "storyline." You just turn on the camera and film and that's what a reality show is supposed to be, but we know almost all of them have some scripting and are extensively edited. It's a genre that's outlasted its welcome that's for sure! How many more redneck families, homeschoolers with 35 kids, and surgery-enhanced sugar daddy mamas can we clog the airwaves with until it crashes and burns?

I Doubt it will happen anytime soon, wait until the late 2010's when reality tv makes a slight comeback when tabloid talk shows made a comeback in the late 2000's.

It better not...

Otherwise TV in the 2020's will see many people turning-off their TV's and watching quality TV on Netflix or Hulu!

Remember How court shows were all the rage in the 80's and 90's when the people's court started all that, then it went on the decline in 1993 when the people's court got cancelled, but 3 years later judge judy premiere and court shows made a comeback and it has been popular ever since

it's gonna happen, remember how the tabloid talk shows aka trash tv were all the rage in the late 80's and 90's and got a backlash and went on the decline in the year 2000's, then it came back in 2007 when steve wilkos revived it.

and soon reality television will be the next revival in the late 2010's.
