Reality Television shows has taken over the spot light on TV. Reality shows take over the spot light because the have what all Americans like and that is drama. Everyone has their favorite reality show whether it’s the famous Jersey Shore or some other show that they enjoy watching. Everyone likes a different reality television show but one thing is for sure is that what they all have in common is that dramatic suspense. Each show has their own special storie and a special time they come on TV that one day a week so their very loyal fans can turn on the Television and watch and if they don’t watch the premier of the show people would just wait until the replay.

Like everyone else in America I watch reality television shows as well. Like most teenagers or people my age I occasionally watch the Jersey Shore. I like it because I get to see drunken people act very stupid and childish. Also it’s funny and suspenseful and has a lot of I mean a lot of drama. Another show I enjoy watching is the Real World/ Road Rules Challenge. It’s a show that brings people from two shows and they do an extreme and intense challenge which is why I enjoy watching it. These shows make it seen to their viewers that its ok to only party at night and sleep during the day time like they do on the shows. Some things I dislike about these two shows is that there is a lot of drinking and I feel like it sets a bad example.

                Even though these shows are very interesting to me and others I feel like they are harming our society in a bad way.  All the drinking and fighting sets a very wrong example to the younger kids in our society.  It gives the wrong impression to kids and or teens that it’s right to drink excessively and get into bars fights.  People are influenced by these shows and it’s reflected in the way they act, dress and behave. It’s more of a guilty pleasure than something I try to avoid for me because I enjoy watching these shows because they have a lot of dramatic situations
