We have really hit rock bottom with tv... But it's hysterical... :corn

Stop watching it. You are adding to its rating and are contributing to that "rock bottom".
-
Even if it's DVR'd??? Goddamn these two make NYers look awful...

Yes.

Totally this. The majority of people don't have a positive view of reality TV shows but don't put their money where their mouth is so to speak. It'd be like someone complaining about littering then saying "I only throw an occasional hamburger wrapper or paper from a stick of gum out of my car while driving every few days" and wondering why their city looks like a dump. I'm not calling anyone who watches reality TV a bad person, but I really think the detractors need to realize that if they made a conscious group effort to never watch these shows or give them accidentally free publicity by talking about them, that progress could gradually be made toward TV being less shitty.

I'm holding out for..."Naked with the stars"
-
I've never been a fan of a reality show and I kinda stopped complaining about them since it attracts the kinda douchebag audience that usually retaliates below the belt, you can't get into a discussion with them cause they're just on a another plain of existence, it's like trying to convince soap opera fans to stop watching it.
-
Just goes to show how stupid people get to make a few bucks. Complete garbage.
-
How has there not been a reality show about a delivery boy yet? Think of all the DRAMA!
-
I know it wasn't exactly the point of your post but I strongly disagree about TV being at 'rock bottom'.
Sure theree are a lot of really stupid shows out there, but they're very easy to ignore and counterbalanced by a few awesome shows. I'll take 10 Dating Nakeds so long as there are shows like Breaking Bad to balance them out.

Not unless he's got a Neilsen box in his home.

I have other nicknames for my boxes.

The sad reality is that "reality" TV is not going anywhere anytime soon. Until the "Great Culling" occurs and humanity is thinned to the brink of extinction, we will be stuck with "reality tv" drivel. (The "Great Culling" BTW cannot happen fast enough if you ask me, but I digress.)
Just one excellent example of the grip this shit has on the masses is that the BBC canceled a perfectly excellent show called "Ripper Street", because it decided it was going to put another "reality" program into it's time slot. :(

FX programming alone is worth having TV for!

What a ridiculous concept. I don't watch any
totally scripted "reality" shows other than America's Got Talent. I'll probably never get tired of watching something like that. There's a lot of variety and you never know what the next act is going to do.
But naked dating? Really? First off, do you really even want to hook up with someone who would DO this? They're bound to be complete skanks. This show along with "Naked and Afraid" "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" or whatever the hell it is, think about the concept there. A dude has like a dozen hot women in front of him and they're all supposedly looking for an opportunity to connect with him and be chosen at the end and they can then ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after.
Yep, that's quite the catch you got there, lady. He just spent the last 10 weeks fucking his way through a small crowd of women to find you, his one and only love!! :heart :heart :heart

Yeah FX has a lot of great stuff.
Similarly, if standard cable really did hit rock bottom I would go ahead and get an HBO subscription and drop the rest. There's an easy way to not be bothered by reality tv shows and still get a lot of great series.

I totally agree! Their is a shit load of great shows these days! I don't ever watch reality TV, nor will I ever.
-
True, but just think how many more great shows would exist without reality TV. As Vox mentioned, reality TV is taking up too many time slots.
-
I thought of AndyDT when I saw the title.
-
I'd watch a reality tv series about AndyDT's dating life.
Edit: No, actually having thought about it a bit more, I don't think I would. But I do think it would be better than plenty of currently running reality tv shows.
-

That made me LOL. Most of the Andy references here don't amuse me, but this really does seem like something he might have asked about. I like to think he's off banging his way through the entire female population of London, two at a time.
Speaking of somebody who needs to get laid. . .
How is it that nobody's bringing up MTV's who gets their cherry popped first show? Man, that's ten times more basic than the naked dating think, and doesn't even have VH1's sense of decency. Christ, you guys have placed the bottom of the barrel several stories above the drain.
-
I can't think of anything that reality programming is preventing from being shown. Television drama and comedy is better than it has ever been.
-
I flew twice this week with JetBlue, so this was my exposure to regular TV programming (I unsubscribed from TV many years ago). I ended up watching "Coming to America" after rotating through all the channels. The rest was totally shit.
-
I didn't know this was a show and I wondered what the hell this thread could possibly be about.
-
Dating naked in my 20's. For sure!
Dating naked now, Check please!
-
I watched about two minutes of this show this morning.
I've seen worse stuff than this on TV. I mean, yeah, it's kind of dumb, and nothing I would watch with any regularity, but it's not revoltingly stupid, like some other things I've seen. It's not on FOX.
-
If it makes you feel better, Germany has the same show.
-
I very rarely watch tv, and when I do, I steer far, far away from all "reality" bullshit.
-
There are some competitions I enjoy from time to time. All the talent shows, Gordon Ramsey shows, and American Ninja Warrior.

If I'm going to watch naked German's I'm going to see something I'd probably never try in bed. Not dating. :lol
-
Everytime I see a show like this, I think back to a Saturday Night Live parody they did. About 15 years ago when reality TV was really taking off. They did a trailer for a new show called..."Who Farted" It was fucking hilarious...and in hindsight, pretty right on target.
-
Only a matter of time before Smash TV becomes true.
GIVE ME MAH BRAND NEW VCR

can I have a bowl of nipple soup please?

:lol

The new TV thread?
But damn this is awful.

Yeah, ANW was pretty cool. Haven't seen it in a while and don't even know if it's still going on, but it was awesome to watch that many people put that much dedication into something like this.
Reality TV is just a really shitty roommate though. You can certainly avoid them when possible but they took up too much space to be of any actual use.

Is she.... A mutant?
-
She's made of bronze! :lol
-
Something kinda scary about her face and smile there. I'd probably sell her a house if she was naked, though.
-
:lol
Yeah, not really my type.
edit: I can neither confirm nor deny the mutant thing.
