Reality TV has become a major type of TV show watched in America in the past few years. Shows like Real Housewives, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo are a few of the most popular reality shows. But what makes them so good? they are just people living their lives. So why do we find them so fascinating? Have you ever tried to explain why you like these shows so much to someone? It is rather difficult.
The Real Housewives of (any city that you can think of) is basically a show about a group of women's drama. The whole show is basically about who said what about each other. It is all about drama. I am addicted to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I know that it is all drama but I can't stop watching. My Mom and I started watching last season and now we have to see every episode. My Dad has asked me what I like about it and I have a hard time telling him.
Take Keeping Up With The Kardashians, this show has 3.0 million viewers in its 6th season according to By The Numbers website. All the show is about is the Kardashian's day to day lives. So why so many viewers? In my opinion, I think that people like to see how different the Kardashians lives are to their own lives. We are fascinated by celebrities.
Lastly, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Why do we find a bunch of disgusting hillbillies so fascinating? What makes us want to watch their show? Is it because we again just want to compare our lives to theirs? I have to admit that I have seen a few episodes and at times it is just revolting. I always ask myself why I am wasting my time watching these people?
I guess it is just to see how other people live their lives compared to our own. Even so it is interesting that shows like these are actually on TV. because they are just people's lives. Anyway thanks for reading :)
