What do you like better ~ 'reality' TV or 'actors' TV? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Are you sick of all the reality TV shows out there yet, or are you lovin every minute of it? Or do you tend to prefer TV shows that are done the ol’ fashioned way ~ with pre-written stories, actors, directors, reoccurring characters, etc? On the subject of 'actors' TV mimicking 'reality' TV, has anyone seen the ads for "I Want to Marry Ryan Banks” or "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton"? They're basically the same story! Seems like the influence of reality TV and Britney's blunder marriage. TV weddings are big lately too... Luke and Laura, Chandler and Monica, Trista and Ryan, etc...

I'm not really into reality tv...I like everything written and stuff...hmm, but I'm sure reality tv has SOME script in it...

Real people and not actors because actors make up stuff and faking stuff like crying and it is scripted but real people show real emotions and the stuff is unscripted!!

Here are the links to the two movies I mentioned: http://marryryanbanks.com = "I Want To Marry Ryan Banks", www.winadatewithtadhamilton.com = "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton"…. Read the plot lines on these and see if you don't think the writers were both hit on the head by the same apple.
